Ok, so, I've searched the forum and came across about a billion roof rack threads. I couldn't, however, find an answer to this question; what size windshield is the best fit? The Yakima site and all the Yakima dealer sites all suggest the 40". That seems wayyyy too long! If you're using a windshield with your roof rack, can you please post a photo along with the windshield size. I'm about to place an order and this little detail is the only thing holding me up. Thanks in advance
Gotcha. I don't have a windscreen, but I can give you a size reference. My bars are 47" and there's probably a total of 4" of overhang - 2" per side. Please give me a break on the front bar being offset slightly.
Looks like a 40" fairing would cover just about the entire front.
Pretty sure mine is 44" from what I remember. I thought it was too big at first as well, but it seems to work fine. Does lower the gas mileage about 3-4mpg though
Thanks for the replies! I ordered mine and it should be in tomorrow. I went with Yakima with the 40" fairing. BoostinZX, if that's really 44", it doesn't look as huge as I thought it would.

Post up pics when you get it installed so we can see.
Sorry, i post the wrong pic. This is my old rack setup. The fairing size is 40" I believe. After I got the Yakima rack and install the same fairing on it.
