Title: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: duc996 on July 18, 2009, 04:42:07 PM Can't seem to decide if i should put on front fairings or leave it out? So i might just go for the majority,do you guys have it on or off? TIA!!!
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: NAKID on July 18, 2009, 04:44:49 PM Depends really. I find it effective above 75-80, but it looks so much better without it...

I guess it comes down to what's more important to you...looks or function. Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: nikkimonster on July 18, 2009, 09:02:04 PM i have mix decisions too. i take mine off and on every now and then. i know lots of work but hey i just can't settle.
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: He Man on July 18, 2009, 09:25:41 PM i leave it off. it makes a big difference in fatigue for the 75-80mph stints though. and i mean a lot.
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: duc996 on July 19, 2009, 06:26:43 PM Thanks everybody,decided to take it out,it really does look so much better off. [thumbsup]

Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: moto-zen on July 20, 2009, 04:45:23 AM +1 for off.
Now maybe I'm the only one, but I have found A LOT less wind buffeting with the screen off at all speeds. The screen would always push the wind right to my helmet. My 2 cents. (Crap, now I'm all out.) Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: numbskull on July 20, 2009, 06:39:36 PM +1 for off, though I have put it back on for 6+ hour rides, which I then remove promptly once I get back. It actually does work at higher speeds for me, but as far as looks go, definitely off.

Post by: CairnsDuc on July 21, 2009, 12:38:11 AM I'll go against the Majority here, I prefer them on. ;D
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: va122 on July 21, 2009, 05:13:21 AM I have a CF cowel to go with my CF fender so off. But every so often when i want a new look I put the original cowl and the faring on.
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: RavnMonster on July 21, 2009, 09:18:29 AM I like mine off as well, But ive been known to get a wild hair and put it back on now and then. It really only takes 15 min to take it on or off.
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: NAKID on July 21, 2009, 09:24:53 AM Since I have......modified my front end, I can no longer put the windscreen on...
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: Blackout on July 21, 2009, 10:28:02 AM Mine's off and I have never understood the comment about protection from wind blast. Both of my bikes are Naked and neither has a wind screen. Maybe it's the way I hold my head when I ride but I regularly travel at 80-90-100+ and don't get the wind blast.
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: ab on July 21, 2009, 12:56:18 PM i finally installed front cowl a few weeks ago for first time.
It's ugly. I am so used to riding without it for 4 years that I can't tell the benefit yet. I will keep it on for this season and decide. Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: yotogi on July 22, 2009, 06:52:07 AM In the minority, I like it on.
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: Scotzman on July 22, 2009, 07:34:17 AM After riding and I see all the chips/dings/bugs all over it, I'm glad that I have it, but looks wise, would rather have it off.
Title: Re: Front fairings or no fairings? Post by: tilt on July 22, 2009, 12:45:47 PM +1 for it off, i actually like the wind beating on my chest at high speeds it takes a little pressure off my wrist.
