Ok, I'm working on pictures. But as a quick review the Parabellum Scout is on. I have an 18" screen and an extra 4" screen. The install of the fairing was easy enough. Directions and individually labeled parts bags from the factory were over the top with detail. It does require some adjustment because it is a very close tolerance fit. Very, very close fit! I think I may have messed up my headlight adjustment in the process. So time and care are in order. Finish w/o factory paint needs sanding priming and painting. The trim pieces and interior finish are very nice and need nothing.
The 18" screen was factory insisted upon based on my 5'9" height. I look over the screen and the wind just touches the top of my helmet. Very very quiet ride. Almost anticeptic in a way because of the lack of wind, but great I'm sure for long distance also late season riding. The unit obviously has some wind tunnel work in its design because it handles the buffeting so well. It even bumps the wind out and around my hands. It also frames the guages nicely. I'm sure the 4" screen will see the most time, plus it has the cool factor over the 18".
The claim of better mileage is interesting and I will watch my mileage but the point for me was wind.
I have it painted to match (black) my body guy said that the colorite color was black with some green tint and he probably could have matched it, this AFTER my obscene $89.00 hosing over a little paint.
Pictures coming this weekend when I get the laptop back. Or if my 14 year old can help me do photo bucket with a camera---no laughing!

Dude it looks great on their website, but did it really cost $599.00? That seems really pricy for a windscreen, but if he only charged you $89 to match the color instead of the $200 listed on their site, that saved you about $110. I do like it, can't wait to see it on your black bike

Cannot wait to see pictures

I posted on gen discussion for camera how to into photo bucket.

Worth it? Tough question, I can only tell you my thinking.

1. Keeping the bike forever
2. Never taking it off, just changing windshields
3. I really liked the look reminds me of 900s
4. I wanted something more than a bug screen
5. I was impressed by the claims of the way it handled wind.
6. The folks at the parabellum factory take this wind thing VERY seriously, they were almost arguing with me because I did not want an 18" screen at first. Their point that at my given height the 18" screen was optimal wind protection.
So at 599.00 for the fairing with an 18" screen, I kicked in for another 4" tinted screen. I will do pictures of both of course.

Here is a stock pic from their website:

reminds me of a BMW R100CS.... and that is not a bad thing
I looked on the websight and I do like the way it is finished off on the inside also.

I dig the looks of this fairing and it sounds like a lot of engineering went into the design. I definitely have it on my list as riding on the highway does buffet me pretty good. Quality costs in the short-term, but works better and lasts longer than cheaper stuff. Thanks for posting your rebuttal, it changed my mind on the cost!

Looking forward to seeing a bunch more pics from a lot of different angles. That's a funky look!

Any pictures yet?

Is that politically correct for "OMG - No thanks!"
