Breaking wind

[rboe]

Cross winds are not much of an issue with frame mounted fairings as they can be with handlebar mounted ones. I've ran both on the same bike and prefer frame mounts (by a narrow margin and not for cross wind issues). My handlebar fairing was fairly large, not the bikini sized thing we find so popular today.

A laminar lip will help with getting air over your head. I used one on my Quota to get the bubble up above the chin piece. Quota's have a very poor air handling fairing; a shame as Moto Guzzi did have a dedicated windtunnel. But it was not used for the Q's fairing. All manner of devices were used to tame the air on that bike.
