And anyway, super is right, take the stupid thing off - IMO they look much much better without the fairing. Now and some bar end mirrors and you're cookin!

Do you think that little thing protects you?

I've been smacked in the head/chest region by giant grasshoppers, bees, locusts with a fairing attached.

To be honest, I first took mine off when I had my stock bars on and I did not like it at all.

Then I put my SM bars on and with the fairing off, it looks waaaaaay better. Plus, when riding, I couldn't tell much difference in wind battering and the view when riding is unobscured especially when you get rid of your mirrors as well, you can only see road, feels like your flying.

I got that exact feeling when test riding the street triple. its so empty above the bars, does feel a little odd!

and that thing could stoppie and mono all day. Almost dropped it on a test run being stupid in a gravel carpark ahhahaaha that would have cost me a cool 3k in excess! lucky I caught it. Ran out of petrol about 700m from the dealership too and had to push it alll the way back. I think the dealer was about to call the cops we took so long!

also what are these SM bars you speak of? pics vs original bars? are they less wide that the current stockers? I'd like to get my bars even shorter for more splitting potential
