NON - YANK INIDICATOR WARNING ....

The Scout fairing looks like it is designed around US model indicator location. US indicators are much further out than Euro / UK, Aussie, Canada and wherever else.

So (leaving all jibes about US parochialism aside - ouch) the fairing probably won't fit non-US bikes.

If you look at the WUDO, you'll see the indicators also just clear the fairing - and it's a lot narrower than the Scout.

I have a Parabellum screen, and had to enlarge the indicator cut-outs to suit - I told the guys at Parabellum, so they're aware of it. Maybe they are working on a solution, although you'd think it wouldn't be economic to make a second mould.

Seems like it would be easier just to get US spec turn signal stalks.

We had a brief hot spell in San Francisco and I changed my Scout 20" screen to the 10" shortie. Quick job with 4 machine screws.

I expected it to pretty much behave as the BMW Sport screen, that is, next to nothing except to protect the instrument cluster from bugs.

I was pleasantly surprised. With the Sport screen, at highway speeds, I really felt a lot of pressure on my chest and had to lean into the wind a lot. But with the short Scout, the air is deflected up to my chin level, so no leaning at all was necessary. And yet, even at 98 deg temps, I was as cool as I could expect in my kevlar mesh jacket.

At speeds above 70 mph, I missed the taller screen, but only if I were at that speed for long stretches. There was no buffeting: my helmet was in clean air.

I really liked it: the looks, the view, and the wind handling.
