smilinjack 0 Posted May 17, 2013 Up until buying my first VFR in 2002 I'd never been behind a fairing. However,as an avowed fairy I am glad to have a fairing quite a lot of the time. If you're on something slow like a B King it's maybe not so bad, but I've had to do a lot of distance at speed in all weathers in the past, and I've been very grateful of my barn door ZZR.
