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.1982 GS1100G- road bike

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.sigpic
When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

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.1982 GS1100E "Jolene"

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

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.1982 GS1100G- road bike
