(Jeff Wills) said:In a word, yes. It'll pay off in spades if you run into headwinds,
but there'll always be a benefit. I disagree with the people who say
there's no benefit at slower speed- it's just that the benefit is
comparitively tiny. For the majority of people, they won't notice the
difference carrying the extra weight up the hill, either. Go back
down the hill and you'll be thankful you had the fairing.
Bought and installed a fairing this weekend, and given the
stiff winds we had today out of the east, it did "seem" to make a
difference. Kind of early in the season to judge how much of a
difference it made, but it certainly seemed to help.
Quoted message said:IMO, fairings on the Easy Racer-style bikes "make" the bike.
Grin, it certainly gives the bike a sharp look. Felt like a
bit of a dweeb the first few runs up and down the neighbourhood
streets, but once I got it positioned properly, it certainly looked
and felt like a different bike.
Thanks for the feedback Jeff . . .
