    Bubble fairing


    Thinking of this fairing. Its cheap enough that if i didn't like it i wouldn't be hurt over it. Maybe mount it to the forks like an s fairing? Opinions?

    Don't buy it unless you want a fairing. They're for getting the wind from blowing against your chest.
    Some people want the wind in their chest. Some people don't want any wind and just ride along in still air.
    Me, I wanted the wind to move around me instead of blowing me backwards off the bike, or chilling me on cold days.

      I dig it. As Bill said, you should identify what you want the fairing to do. Handlebar placement may be a consideration as well due to the low looking cutouts on the side.

        Id like the wind to be a little less, especially at highway speeds. Going to use the bike to drive from vero beach fl to daytona beach on the veekends which is about 2.5 hours each way

          The problem with fairings is the better they look, it seems like the less they work. lol
          Ive got one of these http://www.nationalcycle.com/vehicle...00e/n2526.html that I enlarged headlight section to work with my large light. I like the way it looks and it does keep some wind off my chest, but it seems to direct all the bugs and rocks right at my helmet visor.

              Are there no "S" Wes Cooley fairings available in the States? I think they look much better than after market ones.

                        A quarter fairing (headlight-handlebar mount) fairing will work well for what you're asking for.
                        The Cooley Airtech fairing with screen adds up to $300 unpainted. Some other top line fairings are the same cost.
                        The ones you've posted look cool to me, somewhat like vintage Ducati race fairings, but doubtful about quality when I see a price so low.
                        Molded ABS and kinda thin? OEM fairings are ABS but rather thick and sturdy.
                        The Airtech fairings are thin fiberglass and easy to work with-modify. They can be reinforced with additional layers, and cut to fit. Some are made more sturdy than others.

                          Im post likely going to order this one at the end of of the month and see how i like it. Its cheap enough that if its worthless i wont be upset. Im wondering if i could mount it on the frame instead of the forks though. Tough call on that one

                            Speaking as someone who has one of these fairings, it's good quality and fits well, but after getting it I was a bit disappointed that it didn't have the rolled and beaded trailing edge that it comes with from the factory.

                              I like it. I doubt you'll be able to mount to the frame though since it will probably be right up against the headlight which moves with the forks.
