Fairing

Post by ScottSuff »

Has anyone tried this Nippy Norm fairing? Any thoughts on it since the Scout Fairing just went up $100 to $600 unpainted?

$600 plus the cost to paint it? Ouch!!! Add the shipping costs on top of that and it really is an awful lot. I did see the Scout version in person on RonR's bike and it looked like exactly what is needed but I'm trying to rein in the budget.

The one from Nippy should be under $500 with a good exchange rate but it doesn't have the height that the Scout does. Looking for anyone that has tried it for an opinion.

The Wunderlich 'Trophy' fairing is also available now from Wunderlichamerica.com, but they want $699.00 for the unpainted version.

The Wudo one from NipNorman should be approx. $400.00 US after deducting the 15% VAT tax, then calculating the exchange rate. ( today 1US $=.7L ). I tried to buy one from Nip about 6 months ago, but he said he couldn't send one to the US because we already had a distributor. Think I'll try again with the good exchance rate.. :mrgreen:
