The fairing is unfurled and lo, it is covered with an light adhesive backing to prevent scatches. I will now proceed to insert the rubber grommets into the pre-drilled holes.

Head on view of the bike showing coverage. The instructions say the fairing should be 1 to 1.75 inches above the front tire but I could not make it fit that low.


View from the rider's perspective.

Karl of Zipper Design (http://www.zzipper.com/contact.php) is a very nice gentleman and was most helpful. If you do roads trips, I highly recommend considering the use of a fairing. On an upright bike, it feels like being able to draft a car all the time...
