    I'm happy with my Pro roof rack but I think a front wind deflector would be good for appearance and gas milage. Has anyone made one or know of any source?

    I was wondering the same with these Pro racks but haven’t seen anything, guess will just have to get a Prinsu or Sherpa!

    Yes,
    I bought it from a fellow forum member who had pieced it together for his Pro, then changed his entire roof rack. It has "Matterhorn" laser cut on the fairing so I assume it is a Sherpa. I'm not sure about the brackets. They have no mfg name on them but they look pretty simple. I have not yet attached the center bracket, I'm waiting on delivery of some stainless screws.
    I did it just for looks as I have yet to use the rack. Maybe it could reduce the wind drag of the rack.20241208_141905.jpg

    Yeah, had a brain fart, I talked to you before about it. I think it looks awful, you should take it off. I'll get rid of it for you.

    Looks to be simple column clamps with chamfered corners. I suspect the crossbrace to be either bar stock or L-channel attached to the clamps.

    The clamps for the fairing ends look just like the metal clamps with those rubber inserts shown in this Amazon picture.

    They only attach to the fairing with one screw each side. The other hole in the fairing end is filled with a "dummy" screw.
    Here's another photo of the install:

    I was close, that dummy screw fooled me! Column Clamp with a mounting 'wing'....a pair would be less than a dollar job on my printer! :D
