Thinking about putting Rifle fairings on our Valks & I would like some feedback from Valk owners. I went to their website & I really liked the looks of the standard {not the Raven model} in the cruiser style. How well constructed are they? How is the hand protection? You know, stuff like that.
From the sorry pics on the site it looks like there would be no problems running Baker Air Wings with the standard model.
Anybody give me any feedback on the Rifle fairing??
Pics maybe?? Cool

I just can't warm up to the way they look to each his own I guess  Undecided  $600.00 seems high to me for no more than you get. For around the same price you can give the Valk a Woody and get some nice audio you just add the radio the wiring and speakers is already installed if you want or he'll package and you install after paint..

I have a Rifle windshield on my bike and like it.  But I'm not crazy about the fairings.  I agree with Joe on this one...If I were buying a fairing, it would probably be a Woody.

I saw one of these at Inzane last year and it looked decent.  With this setup you don't need to move the tach and speedo.  But I would want to move the headlight forward to align with the front of its opening in the fairing.

This is the bike I worked on for a few months last year, the owner also had a Rifle fairing which I set up for him re. the wiring. Made it so it was "plug and play" but I don't care for the looks. I used an extension for the three headlamp indicator light, that way all he had to do was switch the plug from the fairing to inside of the bucket. Had to buy an extra set of the three light indicator to mount on the inside of the fairing, but it worked out fine for him. He wanted to be able to install/remove it in a couple minutes, just involved removing the headlight lamp and switching the indicator plug. There was another connector for the turns signals, but is an easy switch for him. He only uses the fairing in the winter apparently.

dont have the fairing but I have a rifle/shotgun holder now on the right crash bar



if I can mount it on the valk's rear crash bar it would make a dandy flag holder for pgr missions
