Has anybody tried the Emgo Viper fairing? I'm trying to decide between the Emgo and the Maier. They both look good to me but how is the Emgo, performance wise?

I'm just waiting to see if anyone has any comparative Cd data? :-k
I think it was an Emgo on one bike a friend had, very flimsy, very poor quality. Not sure it was Emgo, so maybe that's bogus information.
The Maier is a much higher quality piece than the Emgo in my opinion.
The Shoei's are nice, I've had one of those too but much bigger & don't work with Daytona bars on a GS1000.

My son and I just mounted a Maier small 1/4 fairing on his 1980 KZ550A...looks nice, took some work but nice results. Takes the pressure off the chest for easier cruising 45-60 mph. Mounting system is not as good as what comes with the Shoei FM2 and FM3; I have both. The FM3 is smaller amd lower, should work with Daytona bars. Here's the FM3 and my lower bars, they're either Superbike or Daytona...

And if I may, here is the FM2 with the same bike but with bars using a 2" bar riser. A little more protection and more upright seating position. There is enough space under the windscreen to stash your gloves when park or hang a Garmin GPS.
I never have tried the Maier on my own bike, but always liked the way they look. My son got his for about $115.00. The Shoei's are available on eBay for similar price.

I started mounting the fairing tonite...problem is my front signals are short stalked..so I had to turn some spacers..make longer bolts with hole in the center for the wires etc etc...got those sorted out..and now am actually working on the mounts..not to fond of the mounting system...just seems kinda "cheesy" in my opinion..and being who i am and maybe a bit picky I guess..started fabricating some mounts tonite..with work and all hope to have it all ready for this week-end...I'll post up some pics when she"s all done...cool thing is its a nice gloss black and matches the bike so I dont have to paint it.
