Man that is a beautiful bike Michael, just great!
I was wondering how a cafe fairing would look on my 750, think I'll go for it.

[MichaelHoward]

Thank you Greg,

I think it would look good on your 750. 8)
I enjoy the sheild alot, It was cheap and pretty simple to mount.

does that low profile a shield give you enough of a space to duck below the wind..? (i'm 6'3")

[MichaelHoward]

Mostly keeps it off my chest, I am 6"1 and it kinda deters it to the sides.

It is not intended for a full, tall and wide type windsheild coverage. Just a sporty little fairing that re-directs some wind.

the link says "Universal" but.. any idea if it would attach to a 650 ?

[MichaelHoward]

I believe it will work fine on your 650.
I could be wrong but it seems like it would attatch to about any bike.It has brackets that mount to the headlight not the handlebars.

Should fit.

That IS a sharp looking bike. Makes me feel good to see bikes that are taken care of.

which will look more original....
and which will make freeway crusing more comftable.....

whats the consensus...?

thanks

Since you asked for opinions - I like the one on Michaels bike. I have always liked the smaller fairings and that one goes very well with the style and lines of his motorcycle.

[MichaelHoward]

Thanks Jeff, Thanks Swanny!

The second fairing you showed would certainly give more wind protection I would guess.

Looks, I like mine.

Most protection, The second one :roll:

Another option to consider is this one: http://JCWhitney.com/productnoitem.j...D=73081&BQ=mot
I used one of these on my V-65 Sabre for years. It took the wind off of my chest and reduced the strain on my neck if it was raining I could roll on a little more throttle and the envelop would increase carrying most of the rain over my head if I leaned forwards a little.

But by far the biggest reason I stayed with this windshield was that it also provided an envelop of relatively still air around my hands which made a big difference on when I would ride in the winter.

I don?t think this will work on my 81 GS-750L. I have Daytona Bars and their isn?t much room for the bar mounts.
