Anybody installed national Cycle Plexifaring on a Jackal/EV Cali 1100?

If so, how did it work for you-with a full face helmet.
Mostly concerned about high speed buffeting.  I KNOW how hard it is to compare one riders experience to another but what's acceptable at a 45 mph putt putt can change big time at 70 and up, and I'm there a lot.
So, if you can share some experience, thank you in advance.

Long ago I had one on a Cal 1100Ie  worked pretty good, not as good as a Swannee I got later.

Or you could do what I always wanted, but never got around to..... Windjammer 😉

I didn't know they were still available-but I don't really live in
that world.  It's new to me.

On eBay they are.

I had a plexi fairing3 on an 04 EV and it worked out great. They don't actually make one for a guzzi but a guy that worked there had a neighbor who had an EV and he fitted one for me. I can't remember what bike it was actually for but I'm thinking a Honda 1100 shadow. It fit perfectly.

I like a plexistar style,no lowers to block the air from the heads...

[kingoffleece]

That's what I ordered.  The smaller one.
We'll see how it works.

Vert happy with the Plexistar 2. (1999 EV)

My buddy is very happy with his Plexi 3 on a Cal, he's 6'1".

I used a Plexifairing on a California 1100 for about 120,000 miles. I then used the same on an EV for maybe 50,000 miles. I then switched to a Swanee. The Swanee is much better and quieter. I am convinced that the Plexifairing contributed to my hearing damage, and yes I always used ear plugs. I never could get rid of the helmet buffeting with the Plexifairing.

Was that the plexifairing 3 with the built in lowers? My plexi3 created a calm air pocket from my waste up. I have ridden behind Harley and Honda goldwings and the plexi3 was just as effective.

Yes, Plexifairing III

That swanee looks like too much coverage for me.
I'd most likely go without as I am now.  Thank you, though, for the input.

[kingoffleece]

so, I have the fairing installed now.  Gotta say I'm SHOCKED at how well it works.  When I bought the bike it had a smaller shield on it-Street Shield EX IIRC.  THAT was removed in 10 seconds as the buffeting has horrendous.   The Plexi2 has none of that going on-and that's a first for that, I'll tell ya.  All in all, it actually worked out, and nobody is more surprised that ME!

good news KoF. Would love to see a pic of it on a Jackal.
