Medium fly screen

[Hooli]

old org they were called tupperware. buy a naked bike, keep it naked.

Exactly that.

I've ridden 14s with screens & on every occasion it was more comfy on mine that is properly naked as screens just concentrate the turbulence on your head n shoulders making it more uncomfy.

Hmm, im detecting a majority of folk are against a flyscreen, either due to the "look" or because of the wind being directed towards the helmet.

If I was cruising within perhaps a 50 mile radius of my home I would agree, but if I am off trekking (especially with folk who have bikes with fairing) I would find sustained riding at high(ish) speed very tiring, to the point of not being an enjoyable experience.

Surely in this circumstance and a flyscreen would be more justified??

Well, horses for courses, I like mine for touring, even though it deflects the wind blast straight at me helmet & make it noisey, the rest of me is in a nice 'wind free' zone, which makes for more comfortable distance touring, for me anyhow.

I have a std version as well, I've done back to back comparisons on same day over same roads & same speed.  The full naked felt better to me through the twisties & at sedate to moderate speed. However, at overtaking speed & higher cruising speed, the wee faring has it all over the naked. I can hit 160k (100mph in old money) & not feel like I'm having to hang on for fear of being blown off the back - remember, I'm tallish, so I do catch a lot of wind.  It's actually comfortable at that speed & the only reason to slow down is to preserve the continued possession of ones license. Doing the same speed on the naked is a whole different ball game.


For me, it works, for others, it doesn't.   Buy one, give it a crack & if ya don't like it, flick it on, there'll always be someone else will want it.

i prefer the wind pressure compared to turbulence. riding behind flat back vehicles, drives me crazy. the worst, you all mustve experienced, a trailer loaded with mowers, tools etc, turbulence is terrible. concretors trailers, boards on top, mixers etc under, they are the worst. maybe cattle trucks are worse, turbulence and cows pissing at you.

I'm with grog here.

I find it easier to ride distance without the flyscreen as the airflow is smoother, that's more comfy for me. It differs for others, so do what feels better for you. Oh & paint it primer, those are slower anyway

I am with Hooli and Grog - no screen keeps my speed just below 3 figures  well most of the time !

Yeah, well, that's the flip side I guess.  Because it's easy & comfortable to 'go fast', I would agree I probably 'go fast' on a more frequent basis than is prudent in reality.  Maybe I should take it off & keep the speed down a bit.  Mind you, it's parked up in the shed & hardly getting out at all at the moment - being winter n all.

No screen never slowed me down, it just made the same speed more comfy. I found it less comfy with a screen because of where the turbulence goes.

Yep I generally keep mine below 4 figures too

If I don't need one on my Hayabusa or B-King to do speed or distance, I certainly don't need one on a GSX1400!
