I'm trying to decide on whether to keep the front fairing on my '05 620. I kinda like the look of it both ways. Which look do you prefer and if there's a reason why just let me know.

I go without my experience is the fairing caused helmet buffeting when up to speed and of course the looks are better IMO

I used to ride with and without the headlight fairing. Overall I like it better with it on. I like the looks of it.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

On a picture - maybe without.
With me on the bike (6' 4") - with.
Bike needs a bit of visual size....
Dirty air / wind helmet buffeting is reduced without it.
Protection / top speed is better with.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!
I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!
The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

mine is off! (much like my shirt and pants whenever possible.)
that said, when i picked up this other monster, i decided i needed a "pleasure-cruiser" setup, so i am adding to the creature comforts: The old school fairing is on. Regular ol' one-piece handlebar is on. Squishy seat will go on. Heated grips will go on. Heated gear plug ins will go on. GPS mount will go on. Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville margarita machine will go on. VibeRider: tbd.

Definitely off for me.
Only reason I've considered putting it back on is to protect the instruments from rain when riding.

I like it with the fairing but only with some kind of fairing stays. The buffeting was horrible without and I could watch the top end of it flap around at highway speed.
With the fairing stays on, the air pressure coming at my head was actually disorienting, but it smoothed out the flow so it's more predictable and cut the wind noise some too.

I didn't like the fairing, hit my helmet wrong and wore my neck out trying to keep my head from flinging side to side.

Purely from an asthetics perspective, without the fairing.
It makes it look tougher. The fairing sometimes reminds me of a toupee.
