Hey,
Has anyone toyed with the idea of putting a small, light fairing on their America or Speedy? I think it might look good if it were done right. I'm thinking something a little more protective than a windshield. Think of a Memphis Fats with a solid lower part and small compartments for sunglasses and other items. Style it and painted it to follow the lines of the tank. I think it would be cool and nobody has done it.

Hey Cody, I had an L-P sport fairing on my SM last year. Picture on the picture site. I took it off due to installing dual headlights. You interested in it?

I have been looking at options for more wind protection - mostly for noise. Also, I don't like the look of the big roadster windshields.

I'm looking at either an acrylic fairing like the National Cycle Plexifairing or adapting one of the old vetter windjammer fairings.

The handlebar-mount bat-wing fairing on some HD bikes might suit you.

Go to the Corbin site and look for the one that they have for a Sportster. It's real nice. Don't know of one for the Bonnie but that's what I'd like to see.

Hi guys,

I mounted the 'Cafe Racer 1/4 fairing' that's offered on BellaCorse.com...it takes most of the wind away and looks awesome on your bike...
