    That is larger than what some offer as a "fly screen", but only offers slightly more protection than your bare headlight.

    The deflector that I mentioned earlier is about at the transition from "small" to "medium".

    Go back to post #2, I added a picture from a front angle, you can see it better.

      Thanks for the information, I dont really mind not having storage on the fairing. I honestly am the biggest fan of a open bike no windshield or fairing unless its a cooley clone ect. I then realize I would enjoy riding more if my riding jacket didnt double as a parachute at times. Would the Maier fairing I posted would be considered a small one or a larger one? Im not dead set on this one but the cafe racer bobber viper ones I found on ebay I dont like as much.
      I didn't look at your links originally. I am not a fan of the look of these type fairings and have put several in the trash along with dozens of Vetter Windjammers. I thought we were talking about shields. This is the Maier that I have. I can't speak to how well those ones you are looking at keep the wind off of you.

        When mounting a fairing,the holes must line up exactly.No "stretch" to fit or it will stress crack. Using collars on the fastners will help in over tightening. I have been out of the biz for awhile now,but check some sport bikes as they use collars and rubber to help with cracking. Check an older yamaha fz600 body panels?
