R18 Roctane
Guys, I’m thinking about installing a fairing to help with wind protection. I don’t like the look of the small batwing that’s offered by BMW or wunderlich, looks undersized and i don't see it helping much with wind. I also don’t like the aftermarket options that are oversized and generic looking.

I’m looking at something like the one used on this build by roland sands.

What are your thoughts and has anyone installed one of these on their R 18?

Not my look to be honest but I never liked the look of the HD Lower Rider ST and that batwing shown is similar.

I think I've seen the Classic windscreen on a Roctane and it looked good to me.
 
Personally I don't like the look of the windscreen, maybe if it had a quick attach and detach mechanism, I have also read that the wind protection isn’t all that great.

I think it takes away from the look vs adding style to the bike but everyone has their opinion.
