Where to Measure for Picking Out Fairing for Roof Rack

Question

Question:

Im replacing my fairing with new one. The old fairing is a size 38.5 inches, but they dont make that size any more. They only make at 31 and a 40 inch. Is it better to have it long or shorter for less noise reduction?

Expert Reply:

The best length of fairing is the one that matches the closest to the distance between the feet of the roof rack you have. So the best option I have for you is to take that measurement and then determine which works best. For a 31 inch you'd want the part # INA260 or for 40 inch # INA261.
