Title: faring question
Post by brry_wood on Jan 22^nd, 2011, 2:41pm

Got in nice hour and half on the trike first chance out side this year. One other question are farings all that big effect?

I purchased a used zziper to try answer that same question for myself. For me it blocks alot of cold air that would hit your chest. I did'nt know what to expect with cross winds or gusts thinking I would be blown all over the place. I feel the fairing has given the bike some stabilty with the wind. My biggest issue now is with lighting placement. Biggest cost is with the mounting hardware.

brry wood, I have had farings on tour easy and GRR since 1996 and I think they are great in cold weather. The wind is not a factor as I am concerned.

We had a Zzipper on Terrie's SXP, and she said she got too hot during summer riding... I can certainly see how it would be nice in the cold weather, and I know Bud Baker keeps his on his SXP for that reason... Makes transport a little more problematical depending upon how you carry the bike on the vehicle... I used to like my mini-fairing I used to have on my SXP.
