alvaro84; good aerodynamics do not have to be unfashionalbe, good and fashionable graffics can cover what would otherwise be to strange for most peoples sence of style. The issue of good windshield aero is the exit angle of the edges of the windscreen, they should be as close as posible to paralell to the air stream, this is sometimes at odds with protecting the rider from the wind. I have been out in the garage today doing more modds to my GS500, closing up usless "fashion" openings in the fairing and installing shrouds infront of the forks, the next 200km plus trip will tell if they really do something. I will post pic in the emggarage soon.

The pic's are in EMgarage now.
