Now there's a wing

Yes that was very interesting, so many lifting surfaces being affected in adverse ways by cross winds. If aero makes the bikes safer and those advances come through to the road then I'm all for it. But as a practical addition to a street bike, we are only talking about sports bikes and only then for very high speed. I prefer the Honda wings that are built in for both the aesthetics and the lack of vulnerability in a crash. For the street the wings need to be a lot bigger but they cant do that without then looking ugly, the SL wings for example are full on eye bleach but its interesting they chose banned aero rather than the tiny inefficient S wings. Also If you do happen to drop your V4 and break one, even if you can get the rest of your bike going for the session you'll better unscrew the other side otherwise you will be in for exciting times!
 


I don’t think it would be a problem

Was dialing in a clutch for a customer and both of his cheesy dzus fasteners for the front of the right side fairing popped loose 300’ before the lights (200mph). That grabbed A BUNCH of air and pulled hard right but I doubt a oem wing that creates what, not even 30# of downforce?, not even 18” off centerline? Doubt you would even notice the pull
