ZZipper or Mueller for TE?

When we ordered the EZ-1 from Tour Easy some years back the Zzipper fairing was
a factory installed accessory.

Perhaps a call (is Luke still there?) would get you the model number.

Is there a stock Zzipper made for the EZ-1? How about a Meuller? (I
don't believe I'm asking this). :-)
Come on Dave!! Now that your back on a bent your just itching for
speed. Deep down or maybe just a millimeter down inside is a yearing
for another light weight performance bent[another P38 or maybe a Aero
or???]

You can't cure upgrade fever, you can only try to control the
symptoms!

Now excuse me--I have new shafts and heads waiting in the garage to
become my new set of golf clubs.

Could you guys describe in a little more detail the rubber mount
you've created for the ZZipper fairing on a TE? I don't quite get it
from the messages posted so far.

TIA

Regarding the ZZipper over the Mueller: I read an article in ERRC
newsletter about a test Gardner did comparing fairings. The test was
basically to roll down a hill and see what the speed was at the
bottom, and then see how far the bike rolled up the next hill. This
tests wind resistance, etc. The full ZZipper performed significantly
better than the Mueller.

I bought a fairing to help remove wind resistance.

[ Also, Dr. Duk mentioned ' the change in handling characteristicsthat
the Mueller created'. This is the first I've heard of this & would
greatlyu appreciate some elaboration.

Mike:

When I was rsearching the difference between the Mueller and ZZipper I
read an article written by Bob Bryant of RCN Magazine. In this article
he tested both fairings and in his judgement the ZZipper (faired)
better then the Mueller. He said that he noticed that the Mueller
changed the handling characteristics of the TE he was testing. That is
the only record of my statement. My fairing has not arrived in the BS
ao hopefully in the very near future I can update my TE and by the way
I Jussssssssttttttt love my TE. It is a great bent and well deserved
of its reputation and following. Good Luck. Dr. Duk
