Ok this has been driving me nuts. I just put over 1200 miles on last week with most of them at highway speeds. My left leg seems to get different turbulance than my right. I am constantly reaching down to pull the left pant leg down over my boot. The right stays fine, but the left blows up.
Quit riding side-saddle.

[sm=bustedsign.gif] Sounds like ya been caught.

These are cheaper than the Faarken and work great. You can't even tell you’re wearing 'em

I am constantly reaching down to pull the left pant leg down over my boot. The right stays fine, but the left blows up. I have the small extra pieces on the bottom of my fairing. Does anyone else experience this?? I know they sell straps with clips, but I think they look like the straps that hold my sheets to the mattress, not for me.

You don't have that big brake pedel causing a different air flow on the left...

Many years ago, the military called them blousing rubbers. Today I use the rubber cords they sell to hold tent tarps on. They are like a large Hair tie, people put pony tails up with. A looped cord with a plastic ball on the end. They work wonders when I put my chapps on in the cold weather. I put a set on the bottom and I can put my feet on the pegs and no cold air gets up my legs!!! Dan

I don't use or need a garter strap with my pants leg. I buy my riding pants 2' longer and problem solved.[8D]

Maybe the brake pedal on the right side effects how the wind hits your cuff on that side vs the other side???

He11, I'm 5'6". Every pair of pants I own is too long. Perfect for riding, though.

I use duct tape. Keeps the pants leg down just fine. Now you're wondering if I'm joking. I'll never tell. [sm=goodidea.gif]

I put some lower fairings on my bike and you wouldn't believe the difference.
