    Mini headlight fairing

    Anyone here a fan of the mini headlight fairings?
    I was looking through some pics in the gallery section, and though I never thought much of them in the past, some here have done really nice things using them, paint etc, and Im sure they work better at higher speeds.

    Any makes that suit the GS more do you think? I might keep that option open...

          This is on my list to add on my 650E, probably make the move during winter and install it for next season. It looks very cool, thanks for teasing me. LOL

            Yep, was thinking the same, to do it over the winter months. I have other more important things like brake hoses to sort out first, so when I have the spare cash I think I will get one, and if I dont like it on its easy sell it again I reckon.

            My only worry is that they wouldnt fit too well withe standard clocks....

                  One was on my bike when I bought it. They do work with the standard clocks. They sell them at J.C. Whitney.

                    I like them. I have been looking for one for my 450 for a while. I see the rounded ones like the above picture all the time.

                    I'm looking for one that has a more squared-off shape to match the rest of my bike, like the stock 450s fairing...

                        Maier fairing company makes a squared off shaped fairing, you cn find in @ JC Whitney.com I think it costs around $125.00

                          Mine's not the stock 450S fairing, but I found with this one on it directed the wind blast straight at my chest and it also seemed to make the steering feel a little heavier, so I took it off.

                          I think a more upright screen would be much better.

                          Hmmm seems I haven't uploaded mine to Photobucket yet, will have to do that before I can show y'all what I'm talking about

                              Several members have this fairing, hopefully they spot this thread and post pics.
