Lynx R Fairing Review CRF250L

okay this is the very long overdue links our fairing review video now I am very sorry but I do not have the footage of the installation of this I recorded it I put it on my computer and I cannot find it anywhere so that’s the reason I haven’t done the install video but if you’re thinking about getting one of these it’s very simple to install you know it you retain your factory gauge which is back up inside there it gives you a nice dashboard to put stuff on I’ll go over my modifications at the end of it I’m just gonna do this about what the kit comes with first and install instructions are great there’s pictures very easy to follow and the only thing I had trouble with during the install was cutting my fender now I ended up cutting it a little bit more than I needed to for clearance but I get I can get a wrench up in there and it it doesn’t really matter you don’t see it unless you’re right up on top of it and I point it out and it does fit this fender very very nicely so it looks like the bike should have come with it really the blinkers get relocated up higher now I went for the upgraded LEDs so they’re I think they’re quite a bit brighter than the factory ones I assume they are but it’s a very bright blue color and I do have to auxiliary lights Casey highlights brand that I was going to put on here but I decided against it because this is so bright and an option well it’s not an option of a feature I should say that I like is that both lights are on all the time until you go high beam and then it kicks that on from I think it’s like 15% to full you can disable that it’s in the instructions but I really like that the lighting is great and that’s that’s probably my favorite feature this whole thing that’s why I got it was the upgraded lighting the secondary reason I got this was because of the windshield here and the reason I like this windshield is because when it’s down I still get a breeze right into my helmet and the top of my chest and I’m just under six three and then when I put it all the way up my head is completely out of the wind it takes a lot of the buffeting wind off of my shoulders which helps reduce fatigue a lot and then when I’m riding I can just lean forward kind of tall but I can just lean forward loosen these move it and retighten them so it’s not really suggested that you do that but you know it’s I’m just saying it’s possible and I did notice because it shears a lot of wind off this way too there’s a lot less wind hitting me in the stomach in the chest just because it kind of pushes your off towards the side and then my hand guards grab a lot of it and throw it off too so it’s very good wind protection for me even it’s basically six foot three and the most important thing is that your helmet doesn’t get slammed around buffeted because a lot of aftermarket windshields and stuff I put on bikes like you know the Spitfire windshield you see on all this old Japanese stuff that would Buffett my helmet like crazy and I hated it this one does not do that one thing I haven’t addressed yet that’s kind of a concern is the front brake line now it’s hitting my psyche regards and this rubber piece here is getting kind of beat-up but what I’ve seen people do is do I guess they call it rally style break routing and I’m guessing they mean like Dakar Rally not Honda CRF 250r alley they just put a straight fitting on there instead of this angled one and then they take it down inside there and just kind of weave it around so I might end up doing that or I might end up doing just some kind of custom hose and maybe use this bolt here to clamp it so it’s not rubbing on but I mean it’s got this protector and everything but you know Robin slightly rubbing on the blinker here and rubbing on that bolt I’m not too happy with but the front brake line is super spongy anyway so that might be something else you might want to look at upgrading if you do this bearing but yeah that’s my only concern is that one spot over there for the brake line the only thing that has gone wrong with this and it’s probably my fault is these nuts here came off there’s this bracket that goes right underneath your lower triple clamp and then comes up there’s a screw from the back and there’s wizlocke nuts which are just a nut with a little flange on the bottom with some serrations that wizlocke nut came off on both sides and I probably rode that way for like a thousand miles didn’t even notice but you know the even with those missing this thing’s not going anywhere I probably should have put Loctite on there which is what I’m gonna do and I reinstall these nuts and if they fall off again I’ll probably do something I can safety wire but I’m guessing with Loctite it’ll be fine so that’s the only thing that’s gone wrong with this fairing you know the sticker kit is just my design it comes with a bunch of different stickers you can do it however you want you know this big red one it comes with uh I think a black and a white also and you know this white one’s a sticker and this black ones are sticker and this red one’s a sticker so you can just kind of layer it up and do it however you want that’s just how I did it you know your style may vary so yeah overall it’s great product no complaints about it at all absolutely love it and then now I’ll show you my little personal touches to it which this is one of the nice features of it too you can do your own little custom dashboard I have my GPS on a ram mount because I use it in the vehicle and other stuff so I like to be able to take it off but got a nice little dashboard area up here and I’ve got my radiator temperature and then I’ve got an hour meter and tach a voltmeter and then this under here is a waterproof SAE plug and then the switch next to it is I can go up for battery it’s my horrible drawing of a battery and this connects directly to the battery so if I need to put a battery 2006 gsxr 600 fairings tender on here flip the switch up to there goes right to the battery in the center is off so it’s not connected to anything and then down that’s a little symbol for contacts because I’ve got a master control relay that supplies power to my GPS and my gauges and this and you know any other accessories I might add in the future so here if I’m if I’ve got that down and I’ve got like my USB charger hooked up to this in my tank bag I’m out riding I have the GoPro batteries in there I shut the bike off it turns that off so whatever I’m charging doesn’t completely drain and kill the battery because you’d be surprised how quickly a GPS or a simple phone charger can actually drain the little battery on this bike so that’s my little personal touches the factory gauge isn’t really any harder to see the only reason it’s harder for me to see is because I’ve got rocks risers and a bar pad on but I usually go off at GPS speed anyway when I actually care to look so yeah there’s the links our fairing you know if you have any questions or want any specific information just ask below on the video and I will do my best to get back to you
