Tilting the I/S fairing/windshield.

I have read of tilting an I/S fairing/windshield by placing a 1 inch spacer at the lower mounting point, what were the results?


Thanks

This is what I have read regarding tilting the fairing.

Take the back side of the fairing off on each side (approx 6 screws each side).
Look under the fairing, you will see a bolt slightly forward of the fork holding the lower mounting point of the fairing. Remove the bolts (one on each side).

Tilt the fairing back slighty to create approx a 1 inch space. A piece of medal with two holes, 1 inch on center, can be bolted to the orignal mount and then to the fairing mounting point. Of course the head lights will have to be readjusted.

This as I understand, actually allows the air turbulance to be lifted a little highter because the angle af attack is a little more stream lined.

Makes sense but before I do this, I was wanting some input from someone whom has actually tried this.

Hopefully some one will see this post share their experience.

wouldn't that result in a huge adj of the headlights?
will they adj that far?

There is alot of adjustment latitude on those headlights.

  One of our members here in Des Moines triked his I/S and added a raked tree.  He had to tip his fairing because he couldn't get the headlights adjusted properly.  I believe he tipped it forward because he said his headlights were shining on overhead signs on the highway.
