trying to decide if i should get a headlight fairing

have always been of the mind that daisy should be as nakid as possible but have recently been suduced by a belly pan for her and it does look cool

what do people think

oh and also just moved the tinicators i have fitted onto the headlight bracket and that looks awsome

Definately better without in my opinion.
The more naked the better. 1st thing I did was remove the mirrors, now mini indicators, one bar end mirror, tail chop - make it look as low and short as possible.

Much better with!!!!!

Not only does it look good, it is practical as well.

A fly screen certainly does make a difference if you want to cruise at over 80mph (I'd say you get another 10-15mph before it starts to become blowy), but the standard one does get a bit flappy in the wind...

I took the flyscreen/bikini fairing off my Rs and it looks WAAAY better. Now once the speed gets over, say 230km/h it does tend to be a bit windy but as the old saying goes - no pain, no gain!!

Honestly speaking, the windblast is an issue over 160km/h but tucking in a bit gets rid of the windblast completely.
