Road Comet Fairing

[CB4ME_imp]

At 55 to 60 mph, if you hold your left hand flat a few inches in front of your torso and raise it up and down, you get a pretty good feel for the level of protection. And it's pretty impressive. There is much less wind from below waist level to a few inches above mid-chest. (I'm 6' 1"). Upper chest, shoulders, head and arms are in clean air. No wind noise.

I'll probably order the touring shield for winter riding. 40mm may not see like a lot, but wind protection extends a couple inches above the top of the shield, at least with the standard shield. A touring shield should extend coverage and hopefully not introduce annoying wind buffetting/noise.

All of that said, the RC I or II will not provide the protection of a SERIOUS fairing. It won't keep you dry in the rain. It's just too small. But it does look good, and it may help reduce the wind force on your torso.

My 2 cents...........make that one cent.
