Example from ebay:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251040405575&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

There's also a double-bubble looking thing:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400327226543&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

I'm thinking of buying one of those above for weather and wind protection for my naked CB500 on the winter motorway commute - but has anyone bought one before and can tell me if it's any good? - or shall i hold out for a Givi screen to come up cheap?

I don't know if my understanding of aerodynamics is lacking, but the double bubble one looks like it would do very little beyond keeping your clocks dry.

I've got a Puig, it seems to be very good quality, aerodynamically I wouldn't know!

Well, if you've ridden the bike with and without it, can you tell any difference? I can see where the top one would reduce wind blast to the chest, but the double bubble one (which I think looks gorgeous), I'm not seeing it.

I've got the top one but in black on my CB500 and can tell you it well worth getting.

It took me about ten minutes to fit and instead of feeling a blast of air to the chest at high speed it's nice and comfy.

Looks decent too Thumbs Up

I have the same one on my cb aswell. It's as good as any other fly screen. I got mine for £12 odd quid second hand and it went all round Europe on my hornet. Thumbs Up
