With or Without

If you want an easy to mount fairing that looks alright, try to track down a buell fairing. The older ones were meant to be used with that style headlight, as opposed to the newer ones with the smaller dual lights.

I got one for Heather's bike, and it fits in nicely and isn't any wider than the actual headlight so it doesn't look out of place. I think it looks really good, but she doesn't like it, so sometimes I'll mount it on there for a couple days before she notices and says "what's that doing on there?!" and then I take it off. I'll see if I can find a picture later, or more importantly, if I remember that I said I would.

How much would you sell the ducati windscreen for?

well, since this isn't the B/S/T forum, I will be cautious to only mention what I paid for the fairing and screen.

I got the fairing portion for right around $40 off fleebay.
And then I located which screen went with it for $75+, also on fleebay.

So minus any bolts and aluminum rod and what not trying to make it fit, I paid around $115-ish. I might be interested in trades and such if I decide to sell or get rid of it. I am leaning the direction most everyone else is. When I bought it, I didn't think it would be sooooo big. (At least to me it looks big and as stated, out of place.) Not terrible but just not right either. Of course, my luck, someone would buy it and get it mounted and I would be like "Awwww mannnn, that looks freakin' cool!"

I vote with. This is one of my favorite GS looks.

I would like to add a similar fairing and chin spoiler to mine some day.

What mirrors do you have on there (OP)? They look awesome.

[cboling]

Who, me? The ones I have are off Ebay from China. I thought they were listed as black aluminum, but they are plastic. Still decent but, you really can't see behind you. Strike 2 for Chinese mirrors. I guess, I need to find a good set of bar end mirrors with some weights to help with the little bit of vibration in the bars.

Stay tuned, I may have a good bit of stuff to sell and the mirrors may be included in that group.

Wow! It looks like the majority of you do not like the look of this particular fairing / windscreen on the bike. Well, thanks to all that voted and provided some good feedback. I am not going to install the screen at least for a while. I may look around a bit and see if there is something else that I would like better or if maybe I just want to leave it alone altogether.

Like I mentioned, I may be putting this one up for sale but for now, I will just wait and see. IF anyone is really really interested in this, shoot me a pm and we can discuss some options.

Thanks again.

Normally I like small windscreens, but yours is just ugly.

[cboling]

Awwww mannn, no need to hate on the windscreen.

[Bluesmudge]

I actually really like it, I just think it needs to be painted to match the bike.

[cboling]

Hmmmm, maybe. I think I agree with everyone that the screen itself, just doesn't fit this bike correctly. It just seems all wrong. Having ridden the bike the past couple of days, I can see where a larger screen could help keep some wind off especially on longer rides and freeway.

I really like the carbon fiber but have also thought about a color matched screen. I have some other ideas that I am considering as well but it would require me to make a mold, then get carbon fiber in a red color. It would be a much different front end without the round headlight so I am still thinking on that one. Gotta get some cardboard out and mock it up.
