Hi all,

I am interested in a fairing for my Rans V2. The two to
choose from seem to be ZZip and Mueller. Anyone have any
preferences or input in general for fairings?

Thanks.

Hi gerry.Thought you were going to get a SWB.Any who,I have
a V2 with a Mueller wind wrap fairing. Never owned a zipper
fairing but from reading others posts the Zips seem to be
thinner and more noisy than the thicker Mueller.I would go
with the mueller Bill B

Just got a new Mueller for my TE. Replaces one that's only
two years old. Much, much quieter. Better protection. My two
cents worth....

I haven't noticed any noise problem with my Zzipper fairing.
From a brief read through their website, I guess USS bikes
like my Vanguard may get a thicker Lexan, .08 vs. .06,
because the fairing doesn't have handlebars to lie on
(though it does have its own support strut.) It appears that
this thicker Lexan may be available for other LWB
configurations, at little or no extra cost. I don't know if
noise is really a problem with the Zzipper fairings anyway,
but my point is that they do have thicker fairings, if you
don't mind the weight. Mounting hardware is likely the
biggest practical difference between Zzipper and Mueller,
and the winner probably depends on your exact bike
configuration and usage patterns. I know I hate mine! but
the issues are all different for a V2.
