Which Puig model is that? It looks decent and seems like it might be big enough to actually do some good at speed. How do you like it in terms of airflow?

I recently put on this EMGO Viper fairing on my 2013, and I like the way it looks, but it sucks at speed. I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetics of the venom fairing, as I'd rather the headlight hole stay round, but I can see how it would do a better job of deflecting air. With the viper, the top of the windscreen is pretty much parallel to the ground, so instead of throwing the air up higher, it comes straight over it. From what i've seen on other posts here, it seems like the road comet 2 is a good way to go, but man, they're expensive. I'm curious what's worked well for others. I'm 6' 0" and in an ideal world, the air would hit me at my shoulders.

Hey CRush! - Welcome to the CB1100 Forum!

I used a Dart Marlin screen, not nearly as sophisticated, but was useful up to about 120 km/h for no more than 50% relief.

I use a street shield ex with 3 inches or so cut off the top. I’m 6’1” and it works well.

How was the install?

I have the Emgo Venom ll and it took a little alteration with a dremel. Not hard to do just tedious to get it right. But now it will come on and off with little effort. Have to remember I have spacers between the fairing and the headlight bucket though before they fall lol.

The install was actually quite easy. the brackets it came with slid onto the headlight bolts with no problem. That might not be the case with the original headlight brackets though. Mine came with a dart marlin installed, and I hear those brackets come forward an inch or so from the original, which were not included.

In that case I may not have had to trim mine. I probably had to trim about an inch at the center diameter (I did a rounded cut) to clear the turn signals

Nice find, I see they also do a mini screen, now on sale at €19.99! I think I will buy one just to have as an option.

Not my style but the handlebar fairing looks quite decent if that's your thing.

My Givi A660 arrived this morning. I will post a few pics, notes on assembly, fitting and how well it performs.
