thats what i knda thought but my arms fall asleep fast as hell even with the bars i have now .i rolled them up the other day and it helped but i think 1-2 inches higher and it would have my hands perfect .and i think a small fairing like that one or the one adrianval has would make all the difference on the highway. i sometimes feel a little impotent with my ole 93 lol but everyone on here has been so cool !wish i could rock one of those 07 or so street bobs but that was a little outside my budget lol.

From the pics of the fairing it looks like you would have to do some mods or change the angle of your bars. May want to contact the manufacturer.

Hell yeah man! +10045014616!!

You've got a badass ride man. I'd LOOOOOVE to get my hands on a 90's evo big twin. I bet that thing sounds amazing. No need to be jealous my friend. I'm sure there are plenty others here that are jealous of your scoot.

The ebay link is blocked here where I work, so I can't see it.. but I know Harley sells a fairing to fit your ride. Go on Harleys website and to accesorries and genuine motor parts and type in the year of your bike.

The fairing that I have on my bike won't do anything for wind protection. Its strictly for looks. So if your intentions are for wind protection, go with Harleys quarter faring.

Edit: Here ya go. Here's one option. Its also quick detachable.

Buy it primed. I bought mine primed, and used Rustoleum painters touch flat black to paint it. Its almost a perfect match with my factory denim black paint job.

Good luck!
