Krator t-shirt fairing (Amazon)

I am in the same boat. I pulled mine off as well. I cut the recurve lip off my shield and it helped but at just over 12'' now, it is too short. I think a 14 or 16 will make it work much better... the thought of dropping another ~150 on a shield without knowing fully whether it will make the fairing usable is a tough pill to swallow.

It'll probably cost me $25-$30 just to ship it that far. So maybe $60. $30 more you could just buy a new one.

Conley's are $600 and the USA Trailer is $350. I'm not sure a $90 fairing and a $110 windshield comes very close to those prices, especially when you can pick both the color and height of the windshield. Conley let's you pick from three heights and two colored glass but USA trailer only has the dark windshield and three heights. I guess Burly and Memphis Shades sell them for around $300 but they don't make a T-Sport. They only sell dark windshield in three heights as well.

It's actually thick fiberglass. I went down and put a big gash in it which I'll probably repair at a later date but I went ahead with the Krator version.

Ya, the USA trailer version come primered too so you have to pay for it to be painted. I paid $200 to get mine painted that's another reason why I ended up with the Krator version.

So I’ve officially put 1,500 miles on this fairing and this is my quick review so far.
1.It’s rock solid. I used loctite on every single fastener and it hasn’t budged. The painted hardware for the windshield that came with it is super cheesy so I picked up some stainless hardware to replace it. No big deal. I bolt checked the whole thing a few times over the past 2 months and everything stayed tight.
2.The wind protection is a game changer especially on cold mornings.
3. The buffetting is not as bad as I expected. Definitely tolerable when it’s there but Its not all the time as it seems to come and go at high speeds. Maybe I’m the just perfect height to avoid it
Based on my limited experience, I love this fairing. If you’re on the fence about a t-sport fairing I can’t recommend this one enough. Dollar for dollar it’s hard to find a better upgrade.
