I like the little spoiler on the bottom. Must be a copy of the Susie one. I could feel the front end on the road at high speeds. :woohoo:

I put a Maier on a Suzuki I had and liked it. As mentioned, it does help with wind protection some but not as much as a larger fairing. I think there are a couple of sizes so pay attention to what you are ordering if you decide to go that way.

Thanks for the reminder. I just now checked out their website. Maier lists 3 different styles: Sm round, Lg round & Lg rectangular. They provide the dimensions, but strangely, they use the same pic for the two round ones. The Lg is several inches deeper & a tad wider than the Sm fairing. A pic of them side by side sure would be nice. I guess I would want the Sm round. ???

I'd say the large one. Ask for pics.

I took some measurements & the Lg one may not be a good fit. also, 650 owners tend to say to get the Sm.
I'm liking the Z1R quarter fairing at Airtech as well. but it might be too big & may not fit right.

Airtech Fairings --- Z1R --- Z1R4 ... Z1R4 uses a GPz 750 windscreen.

Love mine, small version. Keeps the wind deflected just above my helmet.

When I had the original GPz550 fairing, it seemed ok for wind. If you really tuck down, and can see out through the screen (if not too scratched up) you can get some wind relief.

Where I thought it really excelled was in case of rain. Tucking down greatly reduced rain into the helmet and neck opening.
