A full race fairing will give better aerodynamics at faster tracks, but you may not notice the difference from a rider perspective. Only the stop watch will tell you the difference. It would enable you to slipstream (draft) better too and again you would only notice this in company with other bikes and not tested in isolation. If you race on short circuits with limited straights then the benefits will be far less and a plain top fairing and bellypan may be just as good. One other thing that a full fairing gives is some small measure of protection to frame/engine as well, so take that as a consideration to. The fairing may get wrecked in a crash but will protect underlying components quite well in addition to being cheaper to replace than the stock fairing. |

Cool thing about the stock XB bodywork, it can go through tech without having to remove any body work... including the belly pan! |
