Hi all thanks to all that sent pictures and ideas. I got it on and the difference is unbelievable. The GS needed to rev at 4000rmp to run at 100kph (60mph) and after the fairing same speed is at 3600rpm.And the ridder comfort most important is much better I don?t think I?ll have a naked bike again!
Well thanks again to those that gave input.

Cheers Georgej
 
George, I'm glad you're happy you're now a well-faired rider. Many sensible people eventually come to the conclusion that a full fairing adds considerable comfort to the act of riding a motorcycle in all kinds of weather, over long distances -- macho-type diehards nonwithstanding. :wink:

I think my bike looks so much better naked BUT,,,After useing the windshield I can't go back.I tried a few times to go back to naked and there is no way.No matter how sexy my bike looks without the shield,it can't compare to the new useability my bike has with it.

How is this possible? Are you in a different gear?
 
That's only possible if the bike has an automatic transmission with fluid coupler, or if the clutch is slipping.

I noticed the same thing, Swanny; it makes no sense. Glad you brought it up.

Nick
 
Hey, maybe he can see the tach now without his eyes watering. :lol:
 
I agree that Jammers have many comfort advantages I tend to believe that any naysayers have not had to deal with 800 mile days in bad weather.. The last one I had was on a KZ1000. The only issue was a transfered vibration above 4000 rpm. I installed a "gasket" of 1/8' butyl rubber between the bracket and Jammer; problem solved. This may not be an issue with the smoother running GS, just a thought.

I totally agree. Been saying that for years, in and out of this forum. They're just unwilling to admit it; yet another he-man issue.

Yes, Michael, I'm highly opinionated -- and proud of it, because I'm right! :wink:

Yes farrings are nice, if they would only make a Vetter for the
1200 Bandit

I agree, Lynn, and a shaft! The Bandit would be the perfect bike, wouldn't it? :wink:

Once again, it reminds me of that famous line from The Mikado, by Gilbert and Sullivan.

Our great Mikado, virtuous man,
When he to rule our land began,
Resolved to try
A plan whereby
Young men might best be steadied.

So he decreed, in words succinct,
That all who flirted, leered or winked
(Unless connubially linked),
Should forthwith be beheaded.

And I expect you'll all agree
That he was right to so decree.
And I am right,
And you are right,
And all is right as right can be!

Mikado Nick
 
any chance of having the pictures posted so we all could see. I cant seem to find them as I will be installing mine come Feb. when my mom brings it from her storage shed. :)
