Windscreen recommendations? Empty Windscreen recommendations?

Post by Ingah Fri 09 Dec 2011, 7:36 pm

With a new, longer, motorway commute, i'm now beginning to feel a strong need for a windscreen for my naked CB.

I'm wanting something that'll blow the wind over my head entirely if possible; as i'm only 5'8" / 5'9". And i'm looking to spend as little as possible (hence i've put an ad in the wanted section too), but realise that cheaping out may well be a false economy.

Any screen recommendations?

I used a dark smoke airblade tall boy screen until I got a powerbronze viper nose fairing & it did what I wanted it to (mainly hiding the gaffer tape holding the clocks together & giving some protection). While it did quite a good job of deflecting the weather from my chest & head, it did seem to throw it at my shoulders. That might have just been an illusion though.

If I were getting another I'd seriously look at a wider screen & possibly even throw looks out the window & get one that covers my hands too

I had a Givi screen on my bike which was great in the winter.

I bought one of these:

It works very well, but I had to cut 6cm off the stays as they're a little too long - the screen was horrifically noisy before I chopped them. I'm 5'10".
