Anyone ever check out the Raven Fairing by Rifle? I know it looks like a barn door from the front at some angles, but still there is something to it; and it is unique and would make my Nomad one of a kind. To tell you the truth, the stock windshield looks kind of dorky from the front IMO. In fact all my cruisers looked dorky from the front with the old police style windshield. I am seriously considering a Premeux fairing, but need to give the Raven fair conideration. Rifle used to be Vetter fairings and I don't know why they don't still make them. I had one on my 78 GW and loved it. I am not sure one would fit the Nomad (a Vetter fairing) and don't care to tackle that kind of project.http://www.rifle.com/stores/showdetl.cfm?&DID=9&Product_ID=2210&CATID=10&Product=Raven(tm)-Fairing-Kawasaki-Nomad&Motorcycle=2000-Kawasaki-VN1500-G2A-Vulcan%201500%20Nomad

Not a bad looking fairing. With colors, price isn't too bad either.

I saw one on a guy's Suzi 1500 up at King's Canyon Nat. Park. I thought it looked better in person than it does in the photos. Looked well made too.

I've never seen one in person. I would think they are highly functional and very good at controlling the air being that they have many years experience.

Can't take the look myself. Have seen before. Price is right, if it had a way to mount to extra spotlights it might help the look.

It would sure make a Nomad look unique, but I don't think it's for me. I do like the way the green matches the paint on the Nomad in those pictures.

On the fairing question, I had bookmarked a couple other vendors but all my bookmarks disappeared. Does anybody have some links to other makers? There was one that was reasonable, around $600 or $700 with radio but I can't remember who made it.
