Title: Targa Fairing Owners..
Post by: vfrocket on August 04, 2005, 08:03:57 PM
I have a clear windshield on my Targa Fairing. I originally ordered one with the smoke colored plastic, but I could not see the guages through it. I made some phone calls to targa and they claimed they did not make a clear windscreen for it, but with my persistance the agreed to make me one if I send back the original smoked one.

As far as I understand I have the only clear winscreen on a Targa fairing. Does anyone else own a clear one?

I have that fairing, and mine has a dark smoked plastic.  You can barely see the gauges from the front of the bike.

Personaly, I like it like that...Not the best picture becuase its dark anyhow but...

I have two screens, one attached to the fairing and one spare.  Both are smoked.

sorry to threadjack, but is that the cheap-o harbor freight/home depot 4x8 folding trailer?  how do you like it?  how's the quality?  do you think it will carry two bikes?

Yeah thats the one... quality is marginal, but it does get the job done. Downside you have to assemble it yourself, which entails about 6 hours of putting bolts together... Upside, it folds up and does not take up alot of room in the garage.

looks like in the picture you have a ford ranger, you can't trailer in the back of a ranger? I was wondering because i have a ranger also and wanted to put it in the bed with the tailgate down? is it possible?

yes you can fit it into the bed, but it is 100x easier to put it on the trailer, plus I have a tool box.
