I've pondered the possibility of figuring out how to mount a full Dunstall-style fairing on my EX and was wondering if anyone has done something similar? Originally was inspired by a job done over in Alberta on an old Thruxton:
Thinking of using a fairing from Airtech:

One of our members (I think former member) has done this! His was similar to the Airtech you show. I can’t remember his name, but I saved the picture he posted. Unless someone remembers who he was, I’ll post it up tomorrow evening.

I tried searching the forum but couldn’t find any topic on it. Do you have a link to the thread?
A few years ago, Honda commissioned a "builder" to make a Dick Mann 1970 Daytona tribute bike out of a 2014 standard. It came out looking rather weak, with the fairing mounted high and forward because gauges weren't relocated.

Here is the picture I was thinking of.

I think I look at these with curiosity, but would never own such a configuration. Tucked down, I reckon they must drill through the air well.
I ended up with the fairing. As GoldOxide says, works very nice if you are tucked down - which is not my style. The air goes over the windscreen then tumbles into my lap. Tried adding a coupe vents in the windscreen to fill in the low pressure zone and that did not work.
So it's off the bike for the time being.

I am sure my back would punish me if I attempted to tuck down for any amount of time while touring.
