A few years ago my mate used wind deflectors on his FJR, not sure which bike they were meant for but the fitted his fine. He never used to have a problem in the winter, where i used to get cold thumbs and little finger with hotgrips.


With a standard fairing they don't fit, otherwise i'd have had hand guards years ago.  :\

Just stick them on for winter, and take them back off for summer? You'll just need to be careful when making tight turns that you don't smack your fairing, but it's not that hard!  ;)
The levers/bars/cables are only about 1 or 2cm away from the fairing without anything now, so they simply will not fit!
