fairing bag for the vaquero

[nomadliz]

My question had anyone put a fairing bag on. I am 5'5`` do you think this would affect being able to see OK?
If you did what were the bag brands you put on the fairing? Just looking for some type of bag I could store a few items in. Or maybe a magnetic tank bag, your in put is needed. Thanks

I don't have a Vaquero but when I first got my Nomad I took a "fanny pak" or other wise known as a "man purse" and fastened it to my windscreen It held my sunglasses, wallet, etc.

The pouch is Kuryakyn Three-Pouch Fairing Bag 4178...link below from Amazon. I found a new one on ebay for a few bucks less, think it was $47 shipped.

I used 5 pieces of automotive molding tape originally, but it didn't stick well enough to the felt on the back of the pouch that is there to protect the shield. It doesn't have to actually fully support the weight of the pouch, because the dash does. It just has to hold it to the shield... Anyway, velcro will stick to the felt, so I just did this last night. I expect this to hold just fine, and can actually remove it for cleaning or whatever

As far as seeing over it, no problem for me at all, but I am 6'

Another option is a tank bib with a pouch. This is Sagebrush Designs.

Gotta ask about your windshield on the Vaquero.
How tall is?
What brand do you have?
I'm 6'2"
Love the bag on the dash
I will be copying your idea.
Thanks for sharing it.

Just got the shield, it is a Clearview Flare, size medium. Their site explains how they measure, the inches they state are not the length of the shield...my medium is 17 1/2" high straight up from "off" on the ignition switch. If you measure it the traditional way, the surface of screen, it measures 15"

I wanted the darker tint, had to call them as it wasn't listed as an option.

As I said before, I am 6'. cruising down the road I don't feel wind in my face, unless I sit up real straight and crane my neck. I can be a sloucher, but I still look over the shield and would say most of the time the wind just hits the very top of my helmet.

I am definitely a sloucher. I am 6'4" and the stock screen hits me right around the mouth I'd say. I definitely need a taller one and want it tinted. Do you have anymore pictures of your screen floating around on here?

Sorry for the highjack OP.... but at least I supplied you with your original question :)

Post 24 of the below thread has a picture from the front. I had them do the blackout / dark tint to the bottom, and the pouch in place actually makes it looked blacked out about twice as high

Yes, sorry for the hijack

And thanks, I definitely need to do something about the my stock shield. Just don't know if its going to be the bagger adjustable or something like yours.

Thanks for the picture in information that looks good on the bike

I copied Bob. Installed today. I need to adjust to center it completely. But it functions and holds well.
