    Hi all,new to the site and just wanted to show off my new fairing I got from shadetree powersports.com.It was $140 shipped and I got a friend that paints for a living so he hooked me up on the paint for free.Havent got to try it out on the highway yet because the weather is really bad around here this weekend but I think it is going to make a big difference.What do you guys think?Worth it?BTW pics are in the gallery(which you prolly already know).

    if it makes you feel cooler riding, or improves the actual ride at all... yeah i'd say its worth it.

    Thanx for the input Brian.I am sure it will be better for the highway now,I really didn't like riding 70+mph without some sort of wind protection,felt like I was going to be ripped off the bike at any moment.I tdoes look better too so I am pretty happy with it.

    Welcome kenny2coo. Nice Seca you got there. I ride without a fairing and yep, you need to hold on. But I got used to it, so now it's no big deal...

    if you dont.... well... i bet the cost of ownership gets pricey. Mine has int he last 3 months of riding it (2600 miles) hasnt ever given me troubles while on the road. the starter failed recently, due worn brushes and a bad spring. but she does require constant tinkering to keep her real happy, thats for sure.

    welcome to the community, enjoyt he ride.

    Looks fine and fits the smooth lines of the bike very well.
    Do this nice little fairing have a product name or something that makes it possible to find a similar model here in Europe(Denmark).
    Thanks
