What is involved for the installation? Also, at highway speeds will it reduce or improve aerodynamics? I'm hoping it helps as I find myself holding onto the handlebars tightly so I don't get blown off at 70mph.
I think the fairing looks great on the bike & considering getting it. THANKS!

What I can say is that having fitted a small flyscreen i no longer have that 'hang on ' feeling and can now cruise at 90 and above quite comfy.

Its suprising how much buffetting the headlite causes. I was suprised at how much smoother the air flow was . Much more comfortable at 80mph.

+1, install is very easy, i suggest getting a finger wratchet for the install, can be done with a regular wratchet but i found a finger one makes it that much easier, install is about 15 min

he seemed to be lagging back a bit on the old A1,
which was unusual
so when we got to the cafe i asked him if his bike was ok ( new and just run in)
he said "did you know what speed you were doing...."
nuff to say mine made a huge difference
i didnt want the cruiser look ( bit like a brick in the wind) but wanted a tad more than the flyscreen, not to every ones taste though, just those who are discerning
