ZZipper or Mueller for TE?

ZZipper or Mueller for TE?
There is a way to eliminate the road noise one gets with the Zipper
fairing on a TE, GRR of TIR. Replace the bottom fairing mount with a piece of flexible 3/16" thick piece of rubber cut into a 1" strip and folded into a 180 degree bend. Simply fasten each of the ends onto the existing fairing mounts. My brother devised this mount and it works exceptionally well and takes the road noise away without undo flex. A sample has been sent to Gardner. The flexible rubber strip is about 2 1/2" long before folding into a 180 degree bend. BG Dr. Duk wrote in message ...

I have a Zipper on my US made EZ-1 and a Mueller on my Stratus.
The Windwrap is quieter,more stable and gives better coverage. I would go for the Mueller. The weight difference is in ounces,not a big deal. Guy |

When we ordered the EZ-1 from Tour Easy some years back the Zzipper fairing was
a factory installed accessory. Perhaps a call (is Luke still there?) would get you the model number. Guy |
