Small Fairing Question

Post by johnod »

Has anyone used the below fairing?

Does it work at all in sending the wind over you, or is it just for looks?

Thanks

I have a copy of that on my 79. It is just for looks unless you lay down on your tank.

I put one on my 80, looks great, does deflect a bit of wind but nothing to write home about. We had an Australian biker movie come out in the 70s? mainly using Kwaka 9s and they were all adorned with what became known as Stone bikini fairings. Cool look-has stayed with me all these years. The film was actually called Stone. Not to be confused with the American biker movie Stone Cold.

I've had the bike, with fairing, out a few times and I am surprised how at over 80k the fairing does deflect a fair bit and takes weight off the wrists. I'd recommend it if you like the look.
