Time for the mental wrestling match – again – like it is every year:
Fairing extenders off and replace with the scoops
or
Leave the fairing extenders on and swap them out AFTER Wellsboro.
Argument for leaving them on: It ALWAYS rains at the Wellsboro rallys + will be riding a little further north (cooler?). They do provide better protection than the scoops.
Argument for taking them off: Been getting up in the high 70s, 80s, and occasional low 90s here lately. Feet and legs have been getting a little warm….. especially when the fan kicks in. I also know we’ll be in slow traffic sections on the trip up, and back. No telling what the weather will be doing, so it remains a crap shoot.
Think I’m gonna roll the dice and swap them out. Shoot, I rode my ’86 a year or so before I even knew they existed, and survived.
