Fly Screens

[Marcg868]

Or whatever there called, that you stick on the front of naked bikes. Do they actually provide any wind resistance at all. Just some of my commute involves a 10 mile stint on the motorway. And anything above 80 mph feels like im going to have my head torn off. Or 50 mph if there is a head wind.

Noticed it was a little nicer with a screen, i'd be looking at quite a tall one though.

I have a 2 point Givi handlebar fixing one, makes a difference up to 60, then I get bounced about by wind buffeting. I am on a 125 4 stroke lightweight thing though. The 2 point handlebar ones are recommended up to 100kph. I am told the 4 point fixing ones are better for higher speeds. No idea what the headlight fixing ones are like.

I just fitted a smallish one that goes onto the headlight bracket and it seems to keep the wind off pretty well. It felt pretty brutal at 80 without it.

The one on my Street Triple makes a massive difference. I don't really like the look of it, but it does the job far better than the little panel on my Buell Lightning.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I have a mini screen on my hornet, primarily as I like the look of it but does seem to help at high speed if i duck down enough

I've just got a tiny little Givi attached to the headlight of the 500..

There is not much difference but the bike definitely takes less of a twist with the throttle to push it though. And it has reduced the buffeting effect at 60+ definitely worth while on those more rainier and shittier days!


I think just splitting up the wind before it hit's your main body has more of an effect that you think.

I have a taller screen fitted to my NC700, I find that it does indeed remove the wind blast from my chest, instead it channels the full force directly into my face.

I have a rectangle headlight on the K75, is my only option to change to a round one for a fly screen? Can't see anything on the bay.

Made such a difference on the ER-5.

the screen keeps the wind off your belly and chest which is the more aerodynamic of the two
