Over the past week I've fitted a Laminar Lip, Pazzo Levers and a pair of Michelin Pilot Power 2CT's.

It's like having a different bike!

I had thought about trading it in for something a little more touring friendly as I'll be doing more miles this year.
Now - no chance!

Happy Days

What kind of fairing do you have? Laminar lip? Glad you are happy with your bike.

Triumph Pixie hat with Laminar Lip. Its a decent combo, but it creates different wind turbulance. I like the Roadracing fairing better. The Laminar Lip tends to shoot the air into my arms and shoulders. Works great in a tucked position though.

Kulka, I tried to find a fairing similar to yours but without success. The laminar lip has made a huge difference and I don't feel there is too much turbulance - although perhaps that is because the pixie hat on it's own is so bad.

Problem is of course, my average cruising speed is now probably 20mph higher!
