Awesome bro I like the look of the 11” dark smoked vented visor the best too. Me be in Australia if the road warrior wasn’t like $1000 I’d grab one for sure 👍

I once did a Trip with the original fairing of the Low rider s and got neck pain after a few hundred miles. Will this fairing get rid of all the tension you need to keep the head straight? I am asking because he speaks about buffering and then " get a smaller windshield to get clean air on the helmet". Is it back to full wind force on the helmet then?
@michaelmickelson6502Ай бұрын
@@Andreas-yt9wv so having ridden a few hundred miles with one now I can say that I've not had any major buffeting, there will be some slight buffeting if it's a windy day. I wear a full face helmet and have had no noticeable neck or shoulder pain during or after riding.
@Andreas-yt9wvАй бұрын
@@michaelmickelson6502 thanks for replying. I am more interested in the wind force on the helmet and if it reduces through such a small wind shield size. Your right though, buffeting is an issue and might be even worse than constantly pulling the head against the wind. I need to give this fairing a try!

@@Andreas-yt9wv overall I'd say the wind force on my head is greatly reduced, it still feels like I'm riding a bike. But I don't feel like my heads being pushed rearward.

Hey #PolkFam hope you doing well and that baby is doing well. I've been looking for this faring for a minute now and yet haven't bite the bullet but thanks to you I'm most def gonna get it even though i like my low rider s with the stock faring i just feel when I'm up in the 65 or 70 mph the wind is beating me up so THANK YOU for this review.
@RoboRider229 ай бұрын
Yeah man! It’s great! But you have to fine tune with the correct windshield height to your height. Or the buffeting throws your head around like a bobble head in a monster truck. For me, lower height to get “clean wind”. For shorter people, they can prob run the 15 or 17 inch and get “in the bubble” of no air behind it.

I run a 9" non vented on my Road King Special and it seems to be pretty good. I get a little buffeting at 70+ but it's not bad, and I HATE buffeting. I'm not as tall as you, but that's only because I i have stupidly short legs lol. My torso is that of someone who's right 6'6" or 6'7" though. I find that the wind hits me right in the nose at average highway speeds. I kinda wish I went with the vented... i think that would make the little bit of difference I need

What riser setup do you have on that and what’s your height? I like that look and wanted to go for the 11” dark smoke keeping the gauge hidden from the front behind the windshield as you have it

I’d say 15 inch. However if you have a long torso, you may be in the same boat as me in needing a smaller (10 inch one) to let “clean” air hit you vs broken/turbulent.

11 inch. 100%. At 11 it doesn’t matter if it’s vented or not. You need “clean” air hitting your helmet directly vs choppy air cause by buffeting. With our height, even 17 inches isn’t high enough to stop it. And trust me, I tried every angle, and adjustment of the fairing lol.
