Talon roof getting me soaking wet.

[lowranger]

What are you guys doing about the front part of the roof dumping the water right in on you and your passenger? Been out in the heavy rain twice with it, and my left leg was soaked! I have the front windshield and rear glass. Stayed pretty dry except when ever it dipped down to the left or right turn. I tried plugging both ends of the front gutter put didn't work. Do they make a better aftermarket roof with better draining?
Maybe drill holes in the front gutter to let the water run off over the windshield?

I filled the ends with black silicone and drilled two holes in the front lip of the roof to let the water run down the windshield .

Talon - Roof Drip Fix?

It snowed this weekend, so i thought I'd go out for a ride and see how my new windshield works. Windshield and wiper kit are great, but the roof tends to direct all water directly on my left leg. Anybody have a good fix for the roof drip issue? Can't seem to find any talk on this problem.

I looked and looked for that. Thought there was something about somewhere....thanks CID.

The Honda racing metal roof doesn’t do that. To compatible with upper doors though.

They'd probably be fine for riding in open areas. I'd yard those off in the first 10 minutes in the woods.

UP here too, they'd last about a minute, maybe

Ya lighting the 50$ they cost on fire would have a better result on longevity.

I had a buddy 3d print some of these, got the stl file from another member here, they made it 2 rides before one got ripped off by the trees.

I applaud anyone who is creative enough to take on the challenge of making something like this. Both types of gutters shown here. Being in the business now of created new parts, I understand the process. Sometimes ideas just flow into a working concept and prototype quickly and easily. Then other times it's not happening.

I'll have to agree with a couple other guys here that where we ride in tight woods 99% of the time, these won't make it far. Once I had a bright idea to move my gopro mount to the A pillar sticking outside the sxs. That lasted about 30 seconds into the day when it got whipped by a tree limb spinning it out of position. I promptly removed it from that location!

 

[sspeederr]

I agree, one of the reasons I have been hesitant upon bringing these to everyone's attention. That being said only weak point I am seeing is the mount these set right on a pillar and use 2screws, rivets or bolt nut combo to mount to roof I have tested part itself for durability and I can not break with running then over with machine as that do have a curve to them. They seem to be sound.

I put JB weld on driver and passenger side to keep the water from pouring out on your leg, then drilled several holes in the gutter for the water to drain out onto the windshield. Been working good so far. I do have a windshield wiper. I'll send a picture soon.

I know they say the Talon is one sexy beast, but I've never heard of anyone having that kinda reaction.

Yea a picture would be great. It drives me nuts to get that wet leg!! Speedster's stuff is usually pretty good. He and I ride in the same areas, so I am concerned with the tree limbs ripping off the gutters.

Okay, I'll try and get you one today.

I don't have the wet leg issue, cause I don't have a Talon, darn it! But I've been thinking another route. Get some thin wall irrigation tubing run it out past the windshield about 6 inches, seal it the the roof gutter with silicone, add a couple of spacers inside of the tubing with rivets two per side and when you hit something it just bends and doesn't break?
