medicjeff, thanks for the pic. I was real hesatant to get a fairing for fear of being called a "yuppie"

, but it doesn't look all that bad, you yuppie medic

. kiddin. most of the driving i do is 60-80mph and the noise is loudest at 70, so regardless of what it looks like, i'll be gettin the fairing.
Side topic about the rack set up. Did you crack any of the plastic on the foot kit when you were tightening with the allen wrench? i did

. it was a scortching 17deg. when i was putting it on last night so that might have had something to do with the break. anyway, i'm confident it will hold and looks to be just cosmetic. if it loosens, i'll take it back. Hey, what's the little square thing on your header right above the windshield on the driver side?
