Default Seat

What seat is that and do you like it. Is it comfortable?

Nice I'll have to look into that. I dont mind the stock seat but it would be nice to get something more comfortable

How does well does it do taking the wind off your chest?

It redirects the wind to almost above shoulder level. It’s a small fairing so it does not fully deflect it by any means. But I will tell you this at speeds of above 120km/h i no longer feel like I’m holding on for dear life like i did previously.

Do you get any buffeting? I’m on the list to buy one and it’s supposed to ship out the 24th. However, I’m worried about the buffeting. I’m 5’8” and any time I’ve used a windshield or fairing, I’ve experienced awful air turbulence with my full face helmet. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I’m 6ft .. no buffeting at all. I think since you are shorter it might do a better job of having the air hit you a bit higher but your seat will also affect that. I wear a full face Arai and I tend to ride with headphones in but I don’t feel any resistance on my head.

Its worth it .. plus you couldn’t give the business to a better guy.

Talking Doug’s & S&S...

I’m looking at that fairing for my 2018 FB. Loving the S&S 2-1-2 exhaust. Lost the peg on the exhaust side, but hey, she’ll just have to wrap a leg around me.

I like this, I love the stock look of the headlight though and am debating this. I haven't received delivery of my FatBob yet, I'm the same height as you and have a feeling this will be in the books down the road (or after my first longer highway rip).
