aeg Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I like it with the beak. Looks like it should have been installed by Yamaha from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okyammy Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I see, just wondering what it does to air dynamics? Does look good, but wonder if anyone can tell a difference in buffeting or anything like that at speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even get 80 miles to a tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
