Like or Hate the fairing?  Just got the call to pick-up my newly smoked turn signals! Going back to long shot pipes once I debaffle the used speedmaster ones coming if Friday. These just seem to bounce right up into my ears. Maybe bouncing up off the hard bags? Here is another shot from the front next to a StreetGlide.

I'm all about the function. I have a great big barn door memphis fats on the starship - this doesn't look much worse but I don't know how good a wind/noise management job it would do.

Looks good to me - but (yeah, yeah, here it comes  ), I'd consider losing the droopy eyebrow and blacking out the headlight bucket and trim ring. Of course this is coming from a guy who has never posted a pic of his own ride

I do want to toss in that I agree with Hermit on this.

Doesn't work with the bars. But I like the fairing.

I don't hate it but I'm not in love with it either... it really just looks more like a tinted windscreen than a fairing. I've seen some ugly ones out there, this one isn't bad. How's it for wind blocking? Any other pics?
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

The more I look at it the more I like it.
But the headlight visor has to go...

Does it take the wind from your head or just the chest? Like Ken I must say it looks pretty cool the more I look at it.

Thanks Guys, good constructive feedback to work with. I liked it since I first saw it when looking for a fairing/shield. Worked with Fast Eddy to try and get the right brackets from Memphis to no avail. Function-wise it works great. Could be a few inches wider, but it does get wider as it goes up and the curl at the end helps. With the set-up I can adjust the height with 2 thumb screws. As set there the wind hits just above my helmet (that I usually wear). It looks way better down with the wind hitting your neck and cooling you off... which is nice on the 35-50 twisty roads. Will consider removing the eyebrow if I can find a black headlight the works or even trim-ring only with some adjustments. Any suggestions on that? Chucky, I like it other than the squarenessness

Traded in the bike, kept the fairing, but it doesn't go with new ride. It's listed in classifieds with brackets for $120 if anyone cares.
