Lightbulb Any Way to Divert Wind Away From Knees?

07 S/G with lowers and fairing extentions. Seems the wind is "funneled" over the lowers directly into my knees and thighs? Doesn't appear the the fork wind fairings (poor discription) will fit with lowers on. Ride 55 miles each way and am wondering if I've missed something. Thanks

Waitin' for April here in Colorado! The mag chloride they put on the roads to melt the ice will eat a bike. I wait till after the first spring rain has come and gone. I saw a guy out riding today - about 25 degrees and 30 MPH winds with ice all over the place. Thats hard core!!!!

You Canadians keep leaking your cold air down on us. Supposed to get to -2 here in Missouri tonight with 25 mph winds. I think that's -19 C if I read the conversion chart right.
