Default Fairing Quality

Ive read a lot of old posts, but nothing very current.

My curiosity is this, how does the current Conely T-Sport Fairing compare to the Memphis Shades Road Warrior?

I read a lot of complaints about Conely QC and customer service being subpar. A lot of mentions about bad paint quality and cheap mounting hardware. Is this still the case? Has quality improved? I really like the way they looks.

How does it compare to the MS Road Warrior? The Road Warrior appears to be very well liked and even though its a newer model, it seems to be the best "bang for your buck" option. Has anyone had any issues with these not including the wind buffeting for taller folks?

Thanks!

No idea about the conelys but I just ordered the tsport from CBC. Looks to be almost the same as the JD and way cheaper. I can update once I recieve it.

CBC Fairing is great. Quality all around. Instructions kinda suck but I still figured it out and installed it in 30 minutes after a quick trip to the hardware store for a longer bolt for the headlight bracket.

Not 100% with the headlight location bracket. I feel it moves the headlight a hair too far. I might just make myself a new one one of these days. Otherwise it was a solid purchase for 400$. Got the unpainted version and I'm running with it for the time being. Probably pull and paint later this year.

I got mine from The USA Trailer Store. Very good quality. Thick fiberglass.

Not bad for $349.

Can get it with a 12" or 14" tinted windshield. Can also get it with an opaque windshield.

Coupleof issues with it. You have to get it painted since it comes in a light gray gelcoat. Not black like shown on the website. Also, I wasn't able to use my existing bolt for the headlight relocation bracket since the bracket is metric. Quick trip to the hardware store fixed that.

Other than that, great product for the price. Not sure how companies justify selling these for $700-$800.

I second the CBC recommendation. Great quality for the price and I prefer the way it mounts along with the adjustable windshield compared to the Conleys or other ones that use the fork tubes.

That does looks really good. I ended up order a Memphis shades but I’m second guessing it now that I am seeing all the great reviews for USA trailer. The pricing was pretty comparable but the USA trailer is fiberglass and I’m pretty sure mine is just ABS plastic.

How does it mount if not to the forks?

This one uses the riser bolts at the top, bottom mount utilizes the headlight block, best I can explain it without pictures but it's solid.
