Re: Pricey, but I'm very happy.
Thank you VanDan for the info! Am pretty exited about this.. Hadn't seen it before but never quite like the "color change" of the header pipes

Not that I know of. I have yet to try it so not sure what the wind protection/buffeting is first hand. Still about 6 weeks awayron prior wrote:Looks REALLY nice!!![]()

Re: Pricey, but I'm very happy.
The Trophy fairing is pretty cool - I have one on my 2009. HOWEVER, it does not provide that much protection. I am 6' and I get a lot of wind in the face and a fair amount on the chest. Still, I was able to recently complete a 1700 mile trip to Big Bend with no problem. There is protection there, just not as much as the Parabellum would provide. It's just the coolest looking one IMHO, and that's the tradeoff. I bought the bike with this fairing on it already, but if I had to pick I'd take a look at the Parabellum just because of the different sized windshields available. All that being said, I wouldn't trade now knowing I'd have to match my custom paint etc.
That's my $.02

Usually that's the big struggle between 'cool' and 'practicable" Here's how I worked it out:seangd wrote:There is protection there, just not as much as the Parabellum would provide. It's just the coolest looking one IMHO, and that's the tradeoff.

I don't know about perfect. I still don't have a Dual Sport.

Re: Pricey, but I'm very happy.
Nicely done VanDam! The black headers really really look good....
I to have that fairing and find the it lacking in wind protection..... But it looks so good it'll stay..
My bike is an '11 that I bought used...... with every OEM and Wunderlich accessory installed.
The Wunderlich seat did't work for and is for sale as is the OEM cyl protectors. PM me if you have an interest. The seat would look great on that bike.
Regards, Paul

Re: Pricey, but I'm very happy.
Now that I have the Trophy Fairing I am selling my Ztecknic sport & sport touring windscreens. Screens are interchangable as they use the same mounting bracket. PM me if interested. Perfect condition.

Re: Pricey, but I'm very happy.
Nice looking headers Vandan, but I wonder how they will look after ride when it rains and that brown stuff gets stuck/bake on, is it possible to keem them look sharp like they are now??
Re: Pricey, but I'm very happy.
They have almost 10,000 Kms on them now and they look the same as the day I picked them up. I live in Vancouver so we our share of rain.Marcin wrote:Nice looking headers Vandan, but I wonder how they will look after ride when it rains and that brown stuff gets stuck/bake on, is it possible to keem them look sharp like they are now??
