Laminar Lip on an R90S fairing

Howdy - I run a fork-mounted R90S fairing on my R100T - I've experimented with a taller Gustafson windshield but didn't like the extra air impact at face level - lookin at a Laminar Lip to kick the air up in a somewhat more efficient way - the venting under the "Lip" along with the flip at the top of the shield might achieve the desired effect - anyone tried one of these ? As always, any and all input appreciated - Thanks, Norm

A friend of mine has one of those on her CB500X. She found it really mad a BIG difference for her, but she is quite short on a low seated bike. Still, she found it took the blast from right in her face to over her head.

Hmmm, at $235 that Saeng seems a bit pricey, and the styling seems a bit inelegant. Tall S bike windshields used to be available, but they too suffered in the elegance department. I have seen an aftermarket RS windshield with a flip, but that doesn't mean there is one for an S.
Ken, personally elegant in Oklahoma. (Well, maybe not exactly elegant, but passable)

Took the plunge a week ago - my Laminar Lip arrived this afternoon via UPS - I'll mount it within the next couple a days and, if the monsoon season gives me a break for a few hours this weekend, I'll test it out and report back - thanks very muchly - and, I must say, as much as I enjoy my 1150 RT and my K bike, it's a treat to cruise the backroads on my Airhead - Happy Trails
