Title: RT Fairing, summer, sweat and vents....
Post by: dogshome on July 13, 2026, 01:11:14 PM

Hi All, I like the fairing on my RT. Most of the year its great and I like the shape of it. I get a bit of buffetting, but not enough to make me want to rip the fairing off.

What does make me want to rip the fairing off is heat. It's been 30C plus here (we Brits are not used to it) and with armoured jeans and armoured shirt or mesh jacket, it's HOT!  :flamethrowingsmiley:

I've opened the dummy vents at the front - no room for the ventilator system on my R65. Plus I don't want that. I'm considering a Goldwing type vent in the perspex. Thoughts please. A pair of clear 'streamlined' vents might suit better, but I can't find anything like that. I do want to be able to close them when it rains.

Plan A and Plan B.

I'm sure Gemini makes the little changes just to annoy. Somebody is having a giggle. Third arm on a person, letters reveresed, that kind of thing. I hope you humans can see my intent  ::)

I admit that I had help for plan E. AI can't do everything   ;D

I had a Clearview shield on my '95 RT and the optional vent did help.
