Road comet fairing 2017- installation question

[pittycheria_imp]

Installing the comet on my 2017- the bottom nut to connect to the horn bracket / it is not a fit. Has anyone done this? If so did you remove the horn bracket ? Any suggestions .. thank you

If I recall, I readjusted the angles of the horn brackets ('14 DLX) and reshaped the bracket a little. Plus, I put a little pressure on the bottom of the fairing to make it align. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what your problem was but I had to open the hole in the fairing some. It's always something ya know

The hole was the right size for me - it was just that the hole did not align with the horn bracket so had to push the fairing in (keep it pushed) while I pit the nut in and tightened it . All good now

Yeah, me too. What I meant by opening the hole is I elongated it slightly. Glad you got it worked out. Its easy off and easy on now! I just leave the mounts on when removed.

Gonna have to get one for my white DLX, thanks for the photos. Where'd you get it from?

 

[Lord Popgun]

Samurider.com is where most of us get them. Japan.webike.net might have them too.

Samurider is much easier to deal with as Mr. T (the owner) speaks English.

Is this the comet 1 or 2? I notice there are 2 versions on samurai rider. Also, how is the wind deflection and was it painted by the supplier?

Beautiful bike mate

 

[Lord Popgun]

Jeya, that's a 2. It is more angular than the 1 and has the rather prominent chin lip. They are made by Chic Design and come painted with or without stripes.

For example, when I got mine I ordered a RC1 in silver with no stripe and a tinted screen.

How effective is it for wind deflection at speeds above 100mph

It is not a windscreen. I am 6 feet and I have seen very little difference. The biggest difference is to the stomach / torso. Little buffeting near shoulders. But don't get it if you are looking for a windscreen.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Im guessing the alu bikini type fairing would be worse at reducing wind blast
