Beating weather .. show off your mods
Anyone have any major mods for battling crappy (read cold) weather besides standard stuff (e.g. tires, gloves, goggles) ? Thinking: adding windshields, etc. ?

I had played with the idea of getting a Zzipper fairing :

I am not sure which size I would need, not to mention the cost/benefit issues, not sure that I would get enough benefit to justify the cost.

Just the basics also. Fenders, Merino wool blend base layer, and wool blend socks. However this year I bought a fleece lined bandana I wear around my neck and face (I look like a old west bank robber). I find it does a better job than my neoprene face mask keeping my glasses from fogging up.
