    emgo fairing

    is the fairing any good-i bought one last week, haven't gotten it yet-it's supposed to have mounting brackets-are they sufficient or did you have to make any reinforcements

      Love the look. Wish I would have put a round headlight on my bike and bought that same fairing. I went with the Maier and it's useless for wind protection. Purely cosmetic and damned expensive at that.
      I'm not sure you would've put a hole through a Maier fairing, you get what you pay for, and really, aren't all 1/4 fairings pretty much cosmetic. I'd be a bit more concerned about the extra shrapnel coming my way on a rock strike!

        No. I have a WC fairing and have had other ¾ fairings in the past. A good one will keep the windblast off your torso so you don’t have to pull yourself forward against the wind. You can just relax your arms, which makes all the difference for fatigue. Plus, I f***in’ hate full frame-mount fairings.

            LOL I think your wrong bro......A 250lb man leaning into a drill is going to put a hole in any fairing you got......( granted Im a dumb ass for not taking the shield off)..........It might not be as functional as some fairings, but it does help a bit........The guys ebay name is motorcycle123lights all I can say is it was fast shipping and just as described........The hardware supplied mounted to the headlight ears and is pretty sturdy...(holds up to 110- 115mph for me)......Im sure you could rig something up for a bit more support if you felt it was needed......
