Add in a bikini or sporty fairing if you wish....either new or period correct off ebay.
Look at some pics from Europe....different lines to the silverwing orGL

There was a lot of similar ones back in the 80s like the cyclestyle...i think these had a different bottom half?? C/w inline 4s for the Cx

I don't like too much plastic. I have larger rolltop dry saddle bags for touring.

IMHO-They (full-fairings) take a lil bit of getting used to...
Not being able to see to front wheel from the saddle is one thing (generally not a issue when riding..more when parking/fitting in tight spaces or negating a ramp...some will say in these instances you should be pushing the 'bike anyway..)
But for long distance. e.g. 300to600miles in a day...they make a great difference...
Some look utilitarian...others add to the looks (IMHO)
My long-distance days are somewhat far-between....so the CX has only the "flyscreen" at the moment.....
