Amazing footage ! Have you installed any frame reinforcements or pure stock? I read the rear can’t take too much weight due to the tank acting as a sub-frame…
Hello, i'm about to buy this bike with the Rade garage rally fairing. How is it in terms of wind protection? How comfortable is the bike on the road with this setup? Does it fully deflect the wind around the chest? Thank you!
Hi! It feels okay up to 140-150 km/h. There is no wind on the chest, just on the helmet (I'm 183 cm), but it's a stable wind flow without buffeting. I have tested it in 19 m/s winds in Iceland. Of course, it's not going to provide the same level of wind protection as a touring bike, but it's a big difference compared to having no fairing at all. The fairing is not mounted to the handlebars, so it doesn't affect high-speed stability. The LEDs headlights are powerful enough, so there's no need for auxiliary lights. The only thing I can complain about is the low-quality turn signals mounted on the fairing; they should be more visible.

@@andrewang17 I took a ferry from Hirtshals - Denmark (Smyril line). It was a long, 2 day trip, but the North Sea was surprisingly calm both ways.
