Put a cafe fairing on.

I found the fairing on Kijiji (like Craigslist) for $50.00 and attached it to the forks using p-clamps like the ones below.



I couldn't find black bolts and nuts, so I tried painting them. They didn't stay black very long.

It's a Maier Large Round Cafe Fairing. It does relieve *some* wind off the chest, but it doesn't eliminate it like my 21" fairing with lowers did on my Vulcan. If you want that level of protection you'll need a big shield. I'm happy with both the look and the protection it does supply. I can also put a plastic bottle in the right side and it doesn't fall out. I just drove 75 miles with a bottle of Gatorade tucked in there.

Thanks! I had wanted the actual Ness fairing, but found out I'd have to replace my headlight with the 5 1/2" one, and rig up a mounting system anyhow. I figured I'd go a little less expensive and see if I liked the look before spending a ton of money.

Hey Clicker, you were the reason I started looking at fairings. The new color looks great by the way.
I went with the bullet fairing and had it painted to match the bike.

So how is the wind deflection on that one. Im running the Memphis batwing atm, always looking for something different

That looks pretty sharp. I actually didn't like mine so much when it was all painted to match the bike lol. So off it went.

Oh well, $50 spent not such a big deal.

Cool didn't see a part number for the vics. What part number did you get for the fairing and brackets?

There isn't a part number for Victorys. The brackets I bought on advice from another forum and they did not fit. I modified them to fit but the brackets are no longer quick release. They are from a VTX1300C.
The advice came from guy with a 2006 Vegas so if yours is that year the brackets might fit just fine.
I had to cut the trigger release off and drill holes through the bracket, then I just used the mounting posts and bolts from the kit to secure it to the forks.

Well i do have the quick release for my batwing, they might work. Could you shoot a pic from side showing the mounting bracket? Thanx
