There's cold air in Atlanta? One of those early gpz style fairings might not look too bad on there.

Maybe a shoei FM-1 or -2 would work and these websites might have what you need:

Personally, I like the GPz-style fairings. While they do slice their way through the atmosphere, they don't block as much as you might think...so, if you are looking for something to keep you a bit warmer in the winter, you might think 'larger'

Windshields are for Hardley riders who don't want to mess up their hair.

But seriously - your choice. I don't care for them.

Anyway, one recommended Slipstreamer Turbo III another, Plexi FairingIII by National Cycle, another said try Memphis Shades, all have nice web sites and pics, thnking bout the Plexi fairing III myself.
Cheers!!

I second the early Gpz Faring is not much but is something. Ive not repainted mine but still put it on from time to time if I'm going to ride a long way. It helps just a little keep the wind blast down on the freeway.
