Have driven my OG900's both with and without the fairing attached and the wind noise is minimal with it attached.I also have one on the rack for the Sonett and the Viggen. I've had to modify the fairing mounting brackets so the fairing would fit flush to the unusual curve of the Saab's windshields. Forget about ANY aerodynamics with bikes on the roof. My gas milage drops about 25% with 2 mountain bikes and a tandem on the roof. LOL
