Thule ftw
I'll try to get another pic without the bike on it, and a pic with the fairing (I've been too lazy to put that on)
I have noticed about a 6-7 mpg loss, but have heard the fairing saves 2-3.
In HEAVY downpour, on the highway, city streets, and even parked - I have seen only a drop or two on my door's armrest. No notable leaking otherwise. The weather stripping does take the clip's form for a day or so if I leave the rack on for a couple weeks, but they form right back to the door - secondary inner weather stripping (cushion like) still stops any sort of leaking when rain comes down.
Without fairing....better keep the windows/roof closed (roof ok when back side put up) Pretty loud and overbearing to any sort of convo, and even the radio. Again, I've heard this drastically improves when the fairing is installed. Noise becomes background pretty quickly and the rack is unnoticed.
Note: install the fairing before the bike trays...its clips slide on and the trays are in the way of getting the fairing clips to slide where necessary
