Sorry forgot to say that I painted the windshield. The regular smoke isn't very dark.

I really love this! Is there room behind it for the stock speedo in its original location? How about adjustment? Is there any?

the adjustment it really relative to the headlight positioning. I would say there is no adjustment unless you ran a different headlight extension block


here is a video of the completed install.


Can someone link this video. I'm not doing well with my phone. Can't link the actual video as a clickable link

Looks good.


What's the measurement from the top of the headlight to the top of the screen?

So went for a ride today

the bad- fairing has a little flex to it under multi direction wind. So the windscreen moves around a little. Sort of dances in the wind instead of being a rigid plank Maybe that's not a bad thing as I have not ridden a fairing set up. But I would like it to stay totally still as I go

the good - blocks wind great. Also doesn't seem to slow the bike down to much. With a small fairing you cut right through the air, so I expected to feel resistance while riding. There is some. But not bad at all

questions- So I tried a 3/4 helmet today with face mask. My sunglasses has no movment or buffeting I do feel wind pressure on my helmet but not in a buffeting way so maybe I'm just not used to the feeling of riding with a fairing

I need to buy a full face helmet as mine is toast. Once I do we will see if there is any buffeting as I will have a much larger head shape

previously with all fairings I tried, I had instant buffeting and felt nauseous. Today was different and I hope once getting a full face I will not have buffeting again

so to recap - I think it works great and I need to do a little tweaking on helmets / glasses to see what options I have that do not crest buffeting. I did not get buffeting today, but still wondering if I will when I'm in my full face with yet set up
