Looks wise, your bike looks great the way it is. Still looks cafe with the low handle bars and very retro. A fairing will change the looks a lot. I have the LockHart Phillips on mine. The one that DoctoRot posted the link to above. In my case I did it mainly to cut down the wind. And this one did keep the wind off my chest and shoulders. But not my head. At 70+ on the highway that is still a big help. Here is the fairing below. You can see the height relative to my sholders. And I can always tuck behind the shield if I wanted to briefly go above a 100. That fairing will blow your socks off

well The lines almost match the grab bar and if you drank some heavy dark beer for awhile it would match tummy. And when I say gay its just a saying about the lines and not a personal attack but I am sorry it blew your socks off.

I was only joking about being offended. I actually chuckled when I read your comment, LOL. The only thing I don't like about the picture is me. Now I know I need to join a gym. Kind of messes up the whole picture. Are you saying heavy dark beer would help? :laugh:

Peter, a good pair of riding boots is high on my priority list, :whistle:

Didn't mean to hijack the thread Spencer. Hopefully more people will post pictures of their bullet/bikini fairing.

And here is the fairing I am looking at.
Those things always make me think it's R2D2''s head......

Handsome enough, but doesn't offer much protection while riding in normal upright position.





Good Fortune! :)
