RE: Lower Fairings
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. All riders are different and unique in their own right. Some ride to feel the wind and some ride just because it looks cool. Some do both. Just like 07blackcherry said, watch how you word things and you won' t come under any fire like that. Peace out!

RE: Lower Fairings
Cigar: Are you riding with a stock 4" windscreen? And complaining about wind in the face? I have a 4" screen for my EG and use it because it allows wind on my face during hot Atlanta local summer riding; otherwise the 8" screen goes on.
Also, I recall reading Iclick's recent thread/posts about fairing lowers and don't recall any regular references to less wind on the face--less lower leg turbulence/dry feet and lower legs/warmer riding in cold weather, I recall--but nothing so regularly expressed about reducing wind on the face.
Sorry to hear of your disappointment, and sorrier still for the anger it aroused in you.
Good luck with your upcoming ride--stay safe.

RE: Lower Fairings
I personally like my lowers, and don't remove them even in 115 degree heat, cause they do more than block the furnace like heat. They hold my maps and gloves and drinks, and disk locks and if you want to stick a XM radio in there you can, and it keeps stuff from hitting you while riding fast, and chicks dig em. When I think about my lowers I get a woody. In fact, excuse me, I gotta go...ooooohh
Maybe you have an interest in Jack Flaps? I hear that absolutely no wind whatsoever passes the front tire when you wear Jack's Flaps. In fact, I've heard that small countries have been saved from major flooding and earthquakes cause of the use of Jack's flaps. Hell, you may even be able to smoke a cigar while wearing Jacks Flaps, and having your lowers on in place, correctly.
If I can wear a baseball cap at 85 mph I'd say my fairings do a pretty damned good job.
Not trying to be an a$$hole, cause I'm so polished at it that I don't have to try, but I'm making a point that on a bike if you cut "30 percent of the wind at max" that that is alot of wind on a motorcycle, and what do you expect, a vacuum. I know alot of shi+ sucks in the world nowadays, and most of it due to unreasonable expectations. Next time you want to know about something like this you should go out and rent a bike that has the configuration that is in question, and see first hand so nobody else gets to be responsible for your lack of ability to figure that one out for yourself.
Again, not trying to argue here, but this is common sense, and nobody here is responsible for anybody elses actions, so place the accountability where it belongs. And all you co(&suckers that lied to him, you motherfu(&ers suck
Jus' havin' some fun, even if I do live in a vacuum at times
