Livewire Speed Screen Blade?

It's all looks. I purchased my ELW used with one already attached/installed. I'm still a big 'meat flag' on the highway; no special aerodynamic advantage noticed. Similar to the hole in the rear fender...

I was thinking about making a fiberglass one with more deflection. I want it tall enough to put a phone horizontal above the main screen and maybe get some wind deflection.

Interesting... I'd be interested in seeing posts of your progress/prototypes, but you'd be wise to guard them if you're considering a sales angle in the future.

I put one on mine. I found a slight difference in air flow and I also liked the fact the gap between display and cowl (through which one could see the road) disappeared.

I also found a difference in air flow. It's not a fairing, but it smoothed out airflow over the front of the bike and made it slightly quieter at speed. Plus it keeps dirt and bugs out of that front gap.

I found a speed blade on eBay for $120 so snagged it up. It helps a little bit. I still would love a good fairing with a windshield.

I just went with a small Puig fairing and it helped a lot. Looks pretty good on the LW.

That idiotic hole that bleeds light from the headlight up towards the rider is at least covered. But I couldn't bring my self to pay for it so I have gorrilla tape and have to remember to dry it out after riding in the rain.
