The wind protection with the Unit Garage windscreen is great, except some buffeting at the head at highway speeds. But it does an excellent job of keeping the wing off the chest. There was no damage to the fairings or windscreen from the spill. Just the engine bars, bar end and clutch lever. My only complaint about the windscreen is that it vibrates like crazy at low speed and off-road, making the GPS nearly unusable. It’s not audible, but it is very annoying when trying to navigate confusing logging roads. Also, since the kit requires a headlight relocation and uses the windscreen bracket to hold the headlight, the same vibrations effect the headlight making it look like a strobe light. Not sure if this is a bad installation on my part and I missed a step, or if it’s just the nature of the design, but it’s pretty annoying given the cost of the kit. I also can’t get the kit to be fitted straight for some reason so one fairing rubs on its respective fork. Again, good be user error. The kit looks amazing, but I’m a little disappointed in the outcome. I have not reached out to Unit Garage for help yet.
@@MOTOSCOUTtv Thanks for the reply, trying to get all the insight I can as well as help perspective parties. Nice to hear some first hand experiences with its pros and cons. I know this bike isn't meant to be a touring machine but thats my potential end goal as I'm not interested in a plastic clad adventure bike. Do the vibrations affect the light at night? Does the fairing itself provide some wind protection besides the windscreen? Don't mean to ask a million questions but perhaps the fairings could work in conjunction with another windshield like the Madstad for example.
@@spencerleeb The fairings have a cross bar that goes across the front of bike right where the light is mounted from the factory which is what requires the light relocation. I'm not sure if it will work with another windscreen. it's definitely worth looking in to. I'm not sure how much it effects it at night as i've not yet ridden the bike in complete darkness. Only at dusk and I could see the light dancing and flickering on the car in font of me. I'm sure it works just fine at night, just might be kind of annoying. As for wind protection from the fairings themselves, I'm not sure. I not normally bothered by wind from the waist down so I suppose I didn't notice much of a difference. I feel the same way about ADV bikes which is the same reason I bought the scrambler. So far, it is doing everything I want it to. I plan to take it on BDRs and other adventure routes. Seems perfectly capable so far.
Its a Puig tracker bar end mirror. It's absolutely terrible for visibility. But it looks cool, and its really the only option beyond the bug antenna OEM mirrors that are horrendous.
Wicked! The fairing looks really cool. I'm also very impressed with your buddy taking the Speed Twin down that road at that pace; does it have trail tires on?

what a video.. thanks for sharing dude
Thanks for hangin' out!
Having ridden both of these models, hats off to the speedtwin on dirt 😅
No kidding. haha
I know you don't have the handguards equipped, but how is the wind protection with the fairing/windshield? How did it handle the spill at the end?

Stock exhaust on the scrambler? If not, what are you running? Sounds great.

Where'd you get that mirror from? How do you like them and whats the visibility like?

Road 6s. He’s a maniac. He came to rescue me after I dumped the scrambler and broke the clutch lever.
Luckily it was the clutch lever and not the shift lever including the shifter shaft, I think it wise to use Barbusters and foldable levers now😁
Barkbusters have since been installed. The shifter was the first thing I checked once I picked it up. hahaha
Oh hell yeah! That Scrambler sounds sick!! BTW: what gloves you rockin?
