full fairing or not?
#1
Hi all, thinking of getting a fairing for my bike, just wondered what your thoughts on it are? Was also looking at just the bellypan, but I think it's just for looks, doesn't actually do anything??
Cheers, Colin

Partly depends on how many miles you do- those aftermarket fairings can be quite fidly to remove when it  comes to oil and filter changes!
Some say...

By full fairing do you mean those extra panels that you stick on the side because they always just look like some extra panels that you have stuck on the side
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Yeah, thinking of full fairing, but would get it sprayed properly to match, maybe even the whole bike.
I'm more for full fairing for protection of the engine as well as me!
Wad also thinking of double bubble screen but some posts I've read say it doesn't make much difference.

I found the DB makes no difference, but it dose look good - unlike the add on side panels cause they always look like add - ons

That is TPS. It is also expensive as fuck, especially as TPS have gone bust.

The only other manufacturer of full panels I know of is Skidmarxx... £150 for a full set.

Totally agree with you there John, a bike is a personal thing, how it looks is your own choice, not someone else's :-)

Nobody's slating you though, you asked the question so it is more like a poll now where you'll get everyones individual preference to them rather than them attacking your own personal taste.

It sure does caretaker, really neat with the matching seat as well, sets it off nice
I've always had bikes with full fairings but as I got this from my mate at a bargain deal I couldn't pick what I wanted,  but just thinking if it would be worth while doing it or not.
