DIY door lining to reduce wind noise: who's interested?

(1/76) > >>

corgan:
Just to share with all, I have DIYed a second door lining to help reduce the wind noise. As you all would have noticed, once our rides hit 80km/h and above, you can start to hear wind noise coming in.  :out: But with this DIYed door lining, the noise only becomes noticeable at about 100km/h and the volume of it is definitely 30-50% lower than before. :thumbsup: Best of all, this DIY lining will not cost more than $15.   :devil2: After doing the lining, I found the door harder to close because of the extra padding but its slowly getting seasoned and getting easier to close now.

here are some pics to show you what i mean.
