On that EMGO fairing, looks really nice. How is it running for you? Where is the air hitting you? I like the small-ness of its size.

The main airflow hits my shoulders and I feel no pressure on my chest. It works great for me. I still saved my large windscreen for winter riding though as it offers very little weather protection.

Thank you for the review. How tall are you? I'm 5'7", so I'm thinking wind should hit me just over my shoulders (or just under the helmet). I'm thinking it's a good starter for me at $~70 or so, versus all-in on the ~$400 Road Comet that's popular here.

Looks great!

I am right at 6' tall but longer legs proportionally than normal (shorter torso).

Added a set of Barbacks yesterday.

I've reinstalled the BUS (big ugly screen) for the warmer wet weather this week. I also was test fitting a new pair of driving lights tonight.

I was going to design and build my own brackets and use ammo cans but these came up for a good price and I couldn't pass them up. However, they are not designed to work with the Honda rack. But I am not easily deterred either.

After a little fiddling I was able to mount the brackets by replacing the rear spacers in the Honda rack hardware.

This is the spacer that made everything fit. 3/4" long.

Nice.

Is that a Repsol CBR250R parked against the wall?

It is, I've posted about that in another thread.
