New Fairing for my Nomad - Pics

cheeseyrider · 11-26-2007, 12:15 AM

I received my Premeux fairing this weekend and I was so impressed with the way it looks, I just had to share. I'm still waiting on the fiberglass lowers, but wasn't gonna wait for them before mounting this beauty. Hopefully the lowers will arrive this week and I'll be able to post some more pics (Also supposed to get my Corbin trunk this week)!

The fairing itself was a breeze to install, taking only about 30 minutes from start to finish. However, putting the speakers and amp in for the mp3 player took about another hour. I love the way it looks - they did a great job matching the OEM paint.

I got to ride for about 30 minutes this morning, but then it started sleeting and then snowing so I decided to park it - Don't mind it cold, but cold-n-wet are not my idea of fun on two wheels. Initial impressions: I'm very pleased with this latest mod. It was windy as all get-out today, so hard to say as to how much more wind is blocked than the stock shield, but it is definately a noticeable difference. It seems there is more wind noise than the oem shield, but that could've been the heavy winds today. There was also a noticeable reduction in the amount of helmet buffeting - Not that I had bad buffeting before, but there is zero buffeting with the fairing. The stereo was nice in town, but was hard to hear at 65mph and above - Again, have to see what it sounds like when the wind isn't so bad. Hopefully the lowers will arrive this week. I think they'll really complete the look. Thankfully it was slightly sunny yesterday so I could snap off a couple quick pics before it snowed.

That's a sharp looking bike.

Very nice looking fairing, CR!!! The blending of the paint looks sharp. Send us a pic when you get your lowers.

Beautiful. Nice job with the paint. Does it mount where the oem windshield mounted?

jayc · 11-26-2007, 06:49 AM

Now the only thing missing is V&H Baggers and saddle bag top rails :)

mikesth · 11-26-2007, 08:03 AM

That seals it - I need one of those! Your bke is beautiful!

Can you take more inner fairing pictures when you post your lowers pictures?

beezer · 11-26-2007, 08:06 AM

SCHWEEEET!!!

dogdoc · 11-26-2007, 08:52 AM

DAMN, that's one sweet bike cheesey. Does it come with a stereo? or do you supply your own mp3? How does she attache to the bike? Thx.

Very nice, indeed !!!

rewindgy · 11-26-2007, 10:11 AM

Very nice!!! I have the complete set also from these guys - very pleased! I have figured out how to use the stock clear lowers which have to be moved when you get your new lowers. If I was better on the confuser I would send pictures! Also, get the Freedom Wings for the Fairing - they work real good! I also put opening vents in the lowers which greatly improve the air flow down low.

Cheesey, I'm not one for fairings, just not my taste, but that looks really good! They did a great job with the paint! Enjoy it!

cactusjack · 11-26-2007, 10:33 AM

Damn, that's sweet looking! Beautiful bike. I'm getting the urge for a fairing, maybe next year.

Beautiful! Doesn't need V&H's - Silencers are gone! Good job
