Does the 2014 fairing have the same shape as earlier version other than the "naca duct" addition (correct me if I'm wrong)?
Where are the outlet ports on the inner fairing for the air after entering the fairing?
Thanks in advance
Different outer fairing design and the air comes out a chute on a shelf located behind the wind shield. There's a lever to open and close the vent. Should work well for its purpose.
No the fairing is slightly different shaped. Not much. I have read (and seen) the fairing is larger in the hand area and the "eyebrow" above the headlight is more pronounced.
The air from the new "scoop" is directed up the back of the windshield like the defrost vents in your car. The idea is to alleviate negative back pressure behind the fairing that causes the "buffeting" when you ride.
