wphamilton,
Since you've actually ridden with one, do you feel that a front fairing only (I'm not interested in a wrap around fairing or anything like that) makes a differnece in winter riding comfort? In my regular commuting, I find that the downhill that starts my ride & the few short downhills on the way in to work are the coldest times on my bike & the reason that I stop riding when it hits 28 degrees. I'm assuming (incorrectly perhaps) that since this appears to be completely realted to wind chill, that having the front fairing would bring the perceived temperature closer to what I feel when riding on flat ground.
Also, have you ever ridden with a fron tfiaring only & if so, have you had any problems with stability in sidewinds?
Thanks,
