Hello All!
I'm looking for some advice for my first ST1300 Farkle and I am hoping yall can assist.
I finally took my pillion passenger out this weekend passed for our Portland Polar Bear Run on Jan 1st and I think she was miserable =o( . It looks like (from looking at her shadow) that she is getting more wind blast on the ST1300 (stock in this regard) than she does on my Ninja 650 with the touring screen.
So, my wonderful and knowledgeable board-mates, what would you recommend to be my best option for getting the wind off my poor puppy? Judging by the shadows of her floppy ears which appear to be mostly flying upand a little bit of gloved hand searching, I think the majority of the wind is coming up from my legs or the lower of the bike, so I am thinking to try to source the OEM Fairing Deflectors (which appear to be only available on the Police variant as a Partzilla order) OR a wider windscreen (but which one?).
Parts are beginning to get harder to find; I know I'm late to the ST Game. However, I am not at all concerned with the wind on myself as the OEM ST1300 a step up from the Ninja 650 as far as wind protection is concerned and the wind only feels like an issue when I look down and realize I am going 75mph in a 55; have to get that torque hand under control!. I am only concerned specifically with about a softball sized space at the small of my back -- as all yall know, you have to keep the pillion happy! =o)
Thank you!
