Really like the RS just as it is, provided that the backroads are windy and the speeds stay below 55-60.

But a good portion of our travels will include 4 lane highways and we live a pretty good distance from many of the places that we want to visit.

So..... yeah, I did it. Looks will have to grow on me , but what a difference at 70-75. Rode a bunch today with sunglasses and the visor flipped up. I did get the 10.5" tall model and my vision is about 1.5" to 2" above the top edge.

Have to admit that it was a really good mod. While the N-Com works well at 65+ without the Aeroflow, it is much better with very little wind noise. And the bug plaster is on the Aeroflow, and not on us.

We did about 130 miles (about 2/3 highway at 70-75) to the seacoast for lunch and a visit to Max BMW then the 130 miles back. MUCH more relaxed, don't feel like I spent the day in a windtunnel. I'm convinced.

Now if they could find a way to fold it up and stow it when we get to the twisties.

Guess this REALLY places me in the old farts club, huh?

That doesn't look too bad. I had been tempting to put one on mine for the same reasons and benefits you state, but the look is a bit of an obstacle.

What was the old TV ad? "Try it, you'll like it".

As I said, one use and I am convinced. Major improvement. So much so that it far outweighs the negative looks.

Doesn't quite make an RS into an LT, but I am much happier on the high speed slab.

Of course, if anyone still can't get past the looks of an Aeroflow- let me know- I'll send you an RS specific Laminar Lip for shipping costs only. I had one before the AF- it ain't worth squat for wind deflection. But the Aeroflow? EXCELLENT

Ok, who the heck rides 55 to 60 on a K1100RS?!?!

Kidding , kidding.

I just bought a 93 K1100RS and the previous owner had one with the bike.
Instead of the vercro tabs, he used 3M inter lock, larger rectangle shapes.
If you e-mail 3M they give out samples, clear, white & black for free.
I took a bus from Milwaukee, WI to Mineapolis to get the bike. Megabus.com $28.00 cheaper the farther out you book. Anyway's I did not
leave Mineapolis until about 5:30PM and was home for the ten O' clock news. 345 miles. When dark came, the temps dropped to just under 40 degrees. I was REALLY thankful for that shield. It gives a lot of coverage when & where needed.[/url]

Looks pretty good to me, and anything that improves comfort gets my vote!

I should be getting my Cee bailey in the mail any day now.

It doesn't look too bad....



Really helped on the trip- especially at 70+. Arrived without having that "fight against the wind" feeling.
