This is with my shoei helmet on. Jumped on the highway ran 90 plus, no annoying buffering! Excellent wind protection for a small fairing. Also with my home made buffering set up it put the 14 inch screen at a great position for my vision.


I guess I waited too long, when you told me about your fairing I went to get one but they were all sold out so I went with Memphis
