Riding gear on a naked vs faired bike
I think that some riding gear is designed for naked bikes, not bikes with windshields and fairings. Mesh riding gear, for example, needs air flow which one gets on a naked bike, but sitting behind a windshield prevents or reduces the air flow. Also, it seems the top air vents in helmets may be designed for the sports bike riding position. I'm curious about what others may think on this, assuming this hasn't already been discussed to death and I can't find the thread.
