Yakima fairing experience

Similar component, and it really helps with wind noise. I'm guessing that the fairing directs flow smoothly past the cross bars which tend to induce turbulence and hence generate noise.
I will say that the Yakima one I have seems overpriced, but at least it works well. I've had a few problems trying to get the soft rubber pads to adhere to the fairing plastic strongly though. During assembly, you may want to clean these areas properly with alcohol or some other degreaser that won't eat the plastic.
Cheers,
Mark
