I even had to modify it because of the turning lamps (too high) I wanted the bottom fairing to block cold wind/rain too. It works great and even smooths my ride out at high speeds. I ride daily to work (even in snow, but not this year after others fell) and it provided me with a lot of protection and comfort......not to mention no more big azzed bugs hitting my face, I was stung by a bee that hit my face and lodged itself under my glasses when I had taken it off to enjoy the wind in my face
I will post a picture of it later, check back.
You make me miss my old GS650 from many years ago. That bike had a full fairing on it that blocked, well, pretty much everything in front of me. I loved that bike, but sadly it was totaled compliments of a car driver that was 3rd or 4th in line turning onto the roadway in front of me and taking the lane I had just switched over to. :'(
I replaced that bike with a Kawasaki 454 that was just too darned small and under-powered for my tastes. Once I could afford to drive a car regularly, I wound up giving up riding for many years, only recently having taken to it again after getting my LS650 road ready (I had bought it used quite a while back, it sat in the seller's parent's garage until I could get it transported and then get it repaired).
I did see a few larger Slipstreamer's, including a couple that are apparently very, very large. I'm not sure how well either would fit on the LS650, which lead me here to ask what other options people know that would work.
In the end, I will probably just stick with the Spit Fire for now, as I think what will likely happen is that I'll go through a year or two of enjoying the LS650 and then probably pass it along to someone else in the family while getting myself something bigger. If money were no object, I swear I'd have a Goldwing already, but I haven't won the lottery and don't play frequently enough to really expect to :p
