First ride with new fairing and seat
« on: February 09, 2016, 06:15:05 PM »
My driveway managed to thaw enough today to get the EV out for a test ride. This really is not normal here in N Idaho....usually it's March before I can get out, so I took advantage of the weather to test out the Vetter Rooster fairing and my new Ned's seat. Rode about 70 miles.

I can tell even from such a short ride that the seat will be fabulous. This is my first Ned's so the only thing I had to go on was the comments here.
The Rooster fairing worked nicely too. No  helmet buffeting or turbulence in the cockpit. There was a little wind coming from below the fairing, on top of my knees, and could probably be remedied with some lowers on the front end........but I don't think I'll bother. I do need to trim about 1/2" off the shield height for better visibility.





Not sure if you can tell from the pic, but I replaced the headlight and running lights with led's. Need the extra juice for my heated gear......35 degrees f. while riding today.......but sunny  :grin:

not sure how they'd look on your bike but these Memphis Shades fork deflectors work amazingly well to cut wind and noise under my helmet.
