Experiment Results - Day 1, rope mostly good

Day 1, the rope trick on the Thule rack was mostly good. At less than 30mph speeds and over 45mph speeds, the rope trick has cut the whistling noise. I'm going to try and see if it's the rear bar that's causing the whistling at lower speeds. I've got some rope at home, it's quite a bit longer than I need, but I'll just collect the excess and secure it. (I didn't use that originally because I wanted to cut the front bar to length.)

We'll see - I haven't yet decided if this has saved me from buying a fairing or not.
