I'm getting my Honda NSRR 125 (2000) next week. Its in really good condition apart from the screen on the front which has had the top part broken off by a piece of falling wood! The bloke reckons you can get a replacement for about £40. Is there any advantage to having an expensive screen? Does it make a noticeable difference to the speed? Is it an easy job to change it? Is there a standard size or do you have to order it for your own particular bike? Sorry this will be my first bike!

Thanks for the help in advance...............

They are a standard size for your particular model (and year in most cases) of bike.

You won't feel any noticable speed difference.

They are very simple to change, just a few bolts.

You can buy your standard replacement screen in clear or various colours for your bike via this link and they also sell for a few pounds more a flip-up version ideal for sports or touring. Also, from this company they sell replacement/custom fairings,etc, for various makes of bikes.

I wouldn't have thought a flip up screen would be needed on an NSR.

Just get a standard one. The blacker the better. Mr. Green

Busters sell 'em too.

A new screen will make no differance to speed.

They're all expensive.

I think the screen is held on by rivets rather than allen bolts on the NSR. Drill them out and but a screen fixing kit about £10 from most bike accessorie places.

Peice of p1ss.

HTH. Thumbs Up
