    I think its all about the fairing adjustment...
    That's weird because I was cruising down the causeway going like 70 with the roof popped and a crazy cross wind and it wasn't that loud.

              I've gone over 100 with my tires on my roof. LOL Same with just the bars - nothing more than wind noise. It shouldn't make your car shake.....

                  How many tires can you safely fit on your roof if laid flat?

                    I fit 4 - each tire's about 24" in diameter.

                    And just to note - going that fast was only momentary while I passed multiple cars. I hate going that fast with all that weight...not to mention I turn into even more of a brick than the e30 already is! lol

                      I was pushing 70 to 90 with a bike for 200 miles with nothing but tons of wind noise.

                        I always wonder why people don't cut offf the excess bar sticking out. I'm sure that would cut down on wind noise.
