Default Back to Gen 1..... Again

Well. After all this fairing swapping I am sticking with the Narrow Ness louvered . every other fairing gives me buffeting and that sucks

But you know what doesn't suck? Having a chopped, louvered fairing that looks great. I think I like the side profile way better with this fairing than the road warrior. Or maybe it's because I know I won't get buffeted while riding that makes it appealing to me. Either way here are some Sunday pics

It's too bad the MS Road Warrior didn't work out for you - it looked really good. The OG Ness fairings always look killer.

Yeah. I liked the road warrior set up. It's only designed for people 6' and under so since I'm above that I get buffeting.

Either way I'm happy with this fairing visually. I think it still looks great.

I like the original ness but in my opinion it looks to small on your bike with the lowers and bags. But it’s your bike

I like that look a lot. Everything flows real nice.

Not to hijack, but can you take a pic of your grip guard mount? I have a similar setup but the mounts won't work with my apes so im looking for ideas to build my own.

in my world is function over form now. i was chasing the aesthetic dragon trying to get a fairing that proportionally fit the bike while also getting the wind coverage i was looking for. ends up that's impossible when you are 6'4.

Yeah, i know what u mean. Riding is more comfortable with my MS cafe fairing as opposed to my Connely with 14". I get alot of buffeting. Just cant get back to installing it again and the Connely sitting on a shelf.

Yeah. I can't stand buffeting. It's the worst. It's like instant vertigo and sometimes that heady feeling stays with my for days.
