CB1100 and Wind

[Paris_imp]

Same here. Without unnecessary body work, my CB11 is quite stable in a crosswind. The only exception being when you load up the rear seat and rack with luggage and camping gear. Then it can get a bit tricky if the crosswind gets above 30 mph or so.

One of the first things I did was put the same Plexifaring on my CB that Flyrider shows in his picture. I can't say whether the wind effect on the bike is more or less with that large fairing, but the wind effect on me is reduced tremendously.

Wind, however, wasn't the reason I installed it. About fifteen years ago I had to ride through a vicious Piedmont rain storm at night on US 40/85 on a Honda CB750F. I was riding through grey curtains of rain and spray from passing trucks worse than I can describe, trying to keep up at 60MPH. That night, that big fairing was my best friend. I don't see how I could have made it through without it.
