If I put this screen, on this bike?

I'm thinking of doing this for 2 reasons. 1) I prefer the look of a bike with a screen, 2) makes higher speed riding easier and stops me being buffeted quite so much!
Also I've found this one at less than £30, and I'm unwilling to pay more than £30 for a screen.

Thumbs Up

Erm

It looks like you commute on your bike?

Screen will fit in fine mate Cool

It looks as aerodynamic as a wall but it will stop you from being the wall at least Very Happy

It'll probably look fine, unless the bar that's above your light/under your clocks makes it stick up vertically when mounted, or forces you to leave a 6" gap under it.

I am a function over form person.

A screen is not a fashion statement its a statement of intent. Laughing

Intent as in I don't want to be blasted by lots of wind on the motorway for hours...

Lol, by jove I think the majority of you have got it! Laughing

However I'm thinking of unfortunately giving up on the screen idea as I've just been in touch with a couple of SLR owners and none have been able to fit screens due to that chrome bar above the light...grrr.... Windy it is then! Rolling Eyes

I'll have to buy some seat glue instead!
