Road Comet Fairing

Ditto what ClassicVW says. I'm shorter at about 5'7" and the airflow with the stock screen hits me in the chest/collar bone area, but it's a clean airflow and welcome in the heat. I had the taller touring screen and thought it was fine but started to wonder how come my new helmet seemed noisier than my older helmet so I stood up on the pegs to get my head into clean airflow ..... and it got quiet.

Tested out riding the bike without any fairing or windscreen and it IS pretty quiet, but yeah you do get the full blast of wind on the freeway. So I switched back to the stock lower screen on the fairing and the airflow is clean, the helmet is quieter and my body stays cooler ...... won't work well for you guys when the weather gets cool soon, but I'm in Hawaii so what the heck?

Yep, removing or installing is quick with just three hex head screws, one on each side of the headlight bucket, one underneath to the supplied support bracket by the horns.

I installed the almost invisible nylon washers (wait till you drop one and have to crawl around finding it) in between the screen and the fairing for cushioning and to provide the small gap so water could drain from between the two. The only way I could hold those nylon washers in position was to use a tiny dab of hot glue so they wouldn't run away when I positioned the screen. A bit of grease would also work, but the old glue gun was handier.

When I had the washers under the bolt heads on the top surface of the screen (nothing in between the screen and the fairing) water would get stuck in between and would not drain or dry out cleanly, so I used the washers to get the gap in between them.

Just be careful when tightening the windscreen bolts and don't get aggressive and crack the screen, somehow I managed to get a small crack from one bolt hole to the edge from stress.
