Title: EV without fairing OM....
Post by: inditx on July 23, 2020, 01:35:06 PM

Goodness!
What a difference!
Better front end feel and no buffeting (or wind resistance from a screen so it’s only on my chest for sure)
But better gas mileage! I hear ya laughing but I’ve checked it.
For me that fairing and screen is just a big parachute that does not break the wind as it ought.
Anyhoo, I know guys that swear by them but I swore at it until I removed it.
Happy trails!

p.s. imho it looks better too.....

I had the Guzzi "Police Shield" on my EV for less than a mile and took it off. Couldn't stand the buffeting. I ended up wth a National Cycle headlight fairing. Actually kept 90% of the wind off my chest and no helmet buffeting. If you really want wind protection without the buffeting the Swanee is the ticket. Ain't pretty but it works.

EV on the way to its new owner.

I have seen that before but wasn’t sure it fit and if they still made it.
Might take another look.
Thanks,

I tried the two and it only worked (no noise or buffetting) with a MRA spoiler attached.  Couldn't get with the look.

This is my latest solution for windshields. 
Attached a Memphis Shades Del Rio this past Wednesday.
Keeps the wind off my torso. 
Does not effect steering like previous tombstone shields. 
So far I'm very happy
