Yoyo, I still have the Hawk with the small screen, but sold the other one, a red one. It's a National Cycle F-series, I believe F-16 or F-18. It's not really a 'flyscreen' in the strictest sense, but isn't full or mid-sized either. It functions exactly how I'd like it to on the Hawk. A couple of photos:

They're still out there if you search; it's getting harder to find a good one though as most of them fell into neglect or were trashed by the youngsters. Still the most flickable, agile streetbike I've ever owned -- makes the CB11 seem like a bit of a barge in comparison, but that's unfair really -- the CB11 is still an agile, good-handling bike, it's just that a Hawk is so narrow and light. You should at least find someone who owns one and have them let you borrow it. If you were local, I'd let you borrow mine.

They do have a much sportier riding position than the CB, but are fine for day trips if you're still fairly limber. Oh, and the stock Hawk seat SUCKS so aftermarket is a must for the older crowd IMHO.

LOL, no need Jamboa, I promise to get back on topic. I think Guth already started a thread in Other Bikes as I believe he has a Hawk very similar to mine.

LOL!
I got an email from Steve at Dart the other day. He said he'd just picked up his CB and would start developing the screen shortly. He didn't mention how long it would take.
Spaceman, I got a similar email from Steve -- I don't remember the exact date, but it was the same day as my original post in this thread, probably at least a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure he's a busy guy, though, so hopefully we hear from him sometime in August.
When you guys hear something, put me on the list.
It is exactly what I want. Had something like it on
my 06 919 from the Honda accessory catalog!
I will buy one too! I have a Dart on my Bonneville and it is perfect.
