I am most comfortable with a slightly rearward footpeg setup. My Commando has Euro bars and the CNW rearset - very comfortable for me. Re fairings - I have a BMW R1200RS and have tried 4 different windscreens of varying heights and they all create turbulence at the helmet that is very uncomfortable for more than an hour or two at high speed.

Re BMW, the fairing are frame mounted and are to far away from the body of the rider to be effective. I have wrote previously how I obtained some old copies of the weekly Motor cycle mag from Kempton Park auto jumble from an article in there there were people who knew far more than I did about touring fairing, which I tried to follow to the letter. I can ride my bike sitting bolt upright, all day at 70 - 80 mph always with the full face helmet visor up for 3- 4 hours, which is the longest I can go without a toilet break. You will not get what you want in a month of Sundays from any manufacturer, that is, unless you make your own, like I did.

I sit upright with pull backs on the wing with open-faced helmet, but the occasional wasp or other undesirable creature of the road has been known to venture past the windscreen so goggles are worn. The Windjammer lV with the above has always beat the majority of aches, pains & fatigue of long range riding in the past.... I know there has to have been a compatible arrangement made to bolt onto a Commando to satisfy the needs of the dedicated Norton rider somewhere which works.

The physio lady who has kept me on a bike last 15yrs say , best ride position for this old man is a slight lean forward .... the 3 bikes are all setup for this and I can still ride most of day on the faired bike , the other 2 not quite as long but still no need for multiple stops, like some ride buddies ....
