Default Re: Lower fairings - are they worth it?

I much prefer the full faired look as well, the half faired looks like a half made bike for some reason : /

Block, no. Reduce significantly the angle from which it can be viewed, generally yes.

Default Lower fairings - are they worth it?

As the picture above shows, I never have a problem checking my oil with lower fairings on. Personally think they look a lot better with lowers, if you've got the money go for it.
