Ive just found Lower fairings for the tdm850 from skidmarx, does anyone know if they provide any useful advantage ie keeping boots a little drier in the wet or are they purely cosmetic?
Thanks in advance for any advice,

[Andy25]

Mine had a lower Fairing on when I bought it


Never noticed a difference in keeping boots drier etc

Mainly cosmetic in my opinion
I've since removed it and put Engine bars on
I personally like both
Although engine bars do have there uses

This might give you an idea of what your bike will look like  20161205_132805_resized_1_2.jpg   142.17KB   2 downloads
If you do go ahead I suggest some crash bungs as well

Might put this back on in the spring

Thanks for reply and pics, bike looks good with them although not on its side.
Hope no serious injuries?

I do like the Lower failings on the Bike just remember it adds
More time to Oil changes etc + The Oil sight glass then sits in a nice little Dark spot - keep a torch handy to help check Oil level

The Bike on it's side photo shows how useful engine bars can be ,( especially when you meet Maureen's )
Even with Crash bungs on I think the fairing lowers would have been smashed

No Injuries

I had lower fairings on my 9'er, but removed them.

 

It is just a pain in the a** to keep the engine clean when you have to take off the fairing

Thanks for your help on this, think I might go for engine bars instead, then running lights and then oh I need to calm down,

I bought lower fairings for my niner..looked good but directed hot air from the engine onto my legs, not a good idea in a hot Aussie summer. went back to my crash bars,fairings sitting in my garage not being used.

ive got them on my 4tx, looks good and only takes a couple of minutes to take off .
