Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Fairings?

has anybody put a wixom or vetter fairing on their speedy or america? if so could you post some pics of it?

planning on doing the iron butt this spring and i'm just trying to make the bike a little more comfortable.

I don't think you can make a vetter fit over the forks. I did have an older model harley batwing fairing fitted but I did not like the look of it and it didn't do a very good job. I'll see if I can find a picture.

The best wind management I have found is a memphis fats with lowers.

If you're talkin' about a frame mounted fairing here Lucas, I don't think I've either seen or heard of anyone doing that to their BA/Speedy around here. I think the most I've seen anybody do in this regard is to mount one of those "Batwing" style fairings on their forks.

(...I see Bill beat me by a few minutes sayin' pretty much the same thing here)

have a look at this thread. some pics and links.

If you can find a fork-mounted fairing for your machine, go for it.

A fairing is pretty darn practical for wind and weather management.

If you can't make a fairing work, a proper height windscreen and lowers can make a big difference too. Good luck!

Here's another option http://parabellum.com/


Charly started out with Craig Vetter years back and has a good reputation for aerodynamic performance. We had another member that was working with him on the America/Speedmaster application. I don't remember who, but I believe that's his bike in the photos. I had a few phone conversations with Parabellum a few years back and they seem like a good bunch.

i appreciate the help guys. i've got a memphis shades hellcat mounted to the handle bars right now. i was just looking at a fairing for more wind protection for this long trip.

I never tried it but I have a Vetter frame mounted fairing on a Honda CX500 out back I would part with. The plexi is missing I think but otherwise intact last I saw it.

I have a cafe fairing for sale all set up for our bikes. It a gives good wind protection off your chest. If It doesn't end up selling I will probably leave it on the bike and upgrade the light.
