Default got a fairing on the ZR, a couple more months riding

Just got a Slipstreamer SS-28 sport fairing for my ZR1100 tonight. Still have to "fine tune" the placement but it'll make the 50* drive to work in the morning a lot more comfortable

Did a short ride after the install and felt no air on the top of my legs plus my hands will actually stay warm



I'll get a better pic tomorrow. The sport fairing will allow me to ride at least until it snows

Jeff

edit more pics post eight

I'll get some saturday. it's raining pretty good right now and I have to clean up the bike again.

The fairing works pretty good in the rain. The wind comes over the windscreen and helpps keep thewater droplets off the face shield.

BTDT, have the T shirt. One year when I was in my 20s I only had a cycel for transportation. Street bikes seriously suck in the snow. My dirtbike was enough of a handful.
I have a 4WD Suburban, why would I even consider that for a 19 mile ride to work.
