VanDan, I have just settled with the same Wunderlich Trophy (see Screens Compared topic I recently opened). I really love it, as it offers appropriate wind protection and perfectly smooth air with no buffeting at all. What I noticed and did not like is that if I steer to the extreme left or right the fairing will get in contact with the fuel tank. Further to that if I ride at high speed over rough terrain, i.e. the front fork travels all the way down than the bottom of the fairing will rub against the fork tubes. Do you or anyone else have the same experience?

Ferenc, I have NO contact on the left or right at full turn. The right side is closer than the left but to actual contact with the tank. Hope that helps.

As for the forks contacting the fairing I can't say as I've only put about 30kms on the bike with the fairing and that was all low speed city driving.

Cheers,
Dan

Wow. That does look sweet. How much was it? I can't wait to hear how well it works.
