EV without fairing OM....
« 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.

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
