Modified Wind Screen

Post by Roxster »

Here is a link to some pictures of my modified fly screen.

I used a dremel tool to carve out a slot right at the lip of the original screen. I took the tinted screen and shaped it to fit and slid it in from the bottom. Once I was happy with the location, I glued it down in place. I don't expect it to push much air, but it was more for a different look then anything else. You might notice that I painted the headlight/instrument bars black as well. I thought the silver stood out to much.

laters...

Nice....does it help? Where does the air blast hit you now? With the GIVI A750 on my old R1150R the air hit me right above the forehead area of the helmet......just great for high speed cruising.

Boxer,

The screen helps out a little bit. It moved the air from mid chest to chin. It was a "form" before "function" decision so I am happy that I picked up any extra "function" at all.

I was going to suggest you'd get an effect much like that. Your screen is about the same height as my "fly-screen". Nice job. Rocksters look a lot better with a fly-screen. :)
