Has anyone seen these lowers on a post 70's airhead? http://www.boxercafe.com/WIXOMfairings.htm

The 5/ and later were so well cooled that we never saw a heat problem when using those lowers. However, on the /2 the Wixom was a disaster when riding at speed in hot weather for several of my customers. I only recall one R69S blowing the top end, but many of the R60/2 did. However, I must admit that they were blowing up with out the lower too.

I think you need to where a black cape (with white piping) to ride a bike with the full-on Wixom set up.
Love those stand alone lowers though. Truly made for the moss covered Northwest rider. You could ride dry with your jeans on....almost.

Since I got these: http://www.tourmaster.com/xcart/catalog ... 237_4.html I'm not as worried about the wet or cold.

AND they have white pinstripes too. ;)
