Barry, I’ve studied your helmet (lid) and concluded that the markings fooled the magpie to thinking you were an intruder into his territory and dive bombed you to let you know you were persona non grata. (Latin for piss off). Keep it upright mate. JB
Just fitted the Lynx fairing on my 2022 KTM690 my only concern is the gap between the fairing and the dash on the side where water can easily get in on the wiring is yours like that also
The color of your helmet pissed him off. I have a 701 and I’m considering the same fairing as I use it as an adventure bike mostly but still like demanding terrain. Thanks for the video.
It’s pretty good. I find there’s more buffeting when the screen is up but that’s more my height than the screen it would be ok for a shorter rider. I got the unit for the realestate so I could mount GPS power outlets. I think it’s pretty good value. The company were certainly very good to deal with.
I just got my Lynx Fairing and wondering where the brake line goes. Also, did you recess the speedo or just drill 2holes to match the back of it? 2018 701
For the Speedo I made 3 holes 🕳 with the centre one being large for the cable and mount. It’s seems to be ok, could be a little tighter. I’m going to put a shroud over the cables, I think they will rub on the dash.
After rewatching I could make out the cables are on the Rider side of the gauges. Hopefully that doesn’t interfere with the dash view. I was able to get a “Husky Blue” fairing which they tell me is the 1st they’ve done.
I live across the rd from a park which has some territorial magpies. I love sitting at the window and watching them swoop people. A mate rode his pushy around here one day and was terrorized by the maggies, so much so that he lost his wallet and wouldn't even go back and look for it. They terrorize my cats as well and take their dried food from them lol. We locals feed them, so they don't swoop any of us. They bring their babies around to meet us each Spring as well. I luv 'em. I call the mother Maggy May, after the Rod Stewart song 😁 ruclips.net/video/KbI_awR4CKE/видео.html
I had the same thing many years ago. They would bring their Juveniles down to meet us and we’re quite happy to walk inside the house to get food. Loved them singing to us.
The fairing looks the goods!
Those Magpies can be a nuisance in breeding season, but having a full face helmet on made u bullet proof. Great video .
thats one pissed off maggie! nice setup with the fairing
"Forged in Canada", must be good! ;-)

Thanks JB, they are very territorial in nesting season. They have a go at everything.

Hey mate, I’m not sure where you mean, mine seems pretty close but not water proof.

Thanks.
Even the birds in australia is dangorus 😄🇳🇴☕
It’s true, Magpies are a real menace.
What’s your opinion as far as airflow on the highway ? Does the fairing help on long stretches at highway speeds? Worth the $$

@@rickreasoner8664 View seems ok, it’s just rubbing on the dash. I just need to shroud it.
Bloody fantastic,not the bird
Just glad I had a helmet on, They can be vicious.
Looks a good setup on the bike Steve, love the bomber attach audio at the start 😄 the bike pulls well at low revs 👍🍻
Thanks mate, the bike is starting to grow on me.
