The CB1100 Community Forum

Hi,

Sorry for another windscreen thread but I read almost all threads regarding windscreens and I am having no luck getting them installed with good clearance.

I tried this one first:
Puig 0869H Light Smoke Naked Universal
https://www.amazon.com/Puig-0869H-Univer...B003CN6SOE
But had to return it because it was touching the instruments (it probably works fine with the 2013 model).

Then I tried this one thinking it would work great because it is model specific:
Puig 7593F Naked New Generation Windscreen Honda CB1100 2013-2014
https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/puig...-2013-2014
Same thing, it touches the instruments even worse than 0869 model.

I looked into Dart Flyscreen website and they only show pictures of the CB 2013, so I don't want to try it and then have to return another one.
I really liked this one but it seems that it will touch the instruments on a 2014:

I want a windscreen that is small and that will have a good clearance to the instruments. If anyone could help me suggesting a windscreen (with pictures), I would appreciate.

As a side note, I don't want it installed outside the headlight bracket.

I will ride close to a 1,000 miles on May 30th (CB Rally in AR) and if I don't have any windscreen on my CB, it will be somewhat exhausting.

Thanks!

Which bike do you have? I can't keep everyone's straight.

I found some info on the Dart Marlin but I don't want to have the headlight moved two inches forward, so not an option for me.

I have about 1/4 inch clearance from the instruments at the closest point. I have the dart flyscreen and a '13 CB.

FYI, there was complaints about the screen being too close to the instruments when the darts were first released so he made new headlight brackets that push the the headlight forward a bit for better clearance.

I know this doesn't answer your question directly ('14 w/ Marlin) but he did make a second version with greater clearance.

I'm a huge fan of the Marlin Fly Screen and had one on my 2013 for the past 1.5 years. Super quality, well engineered etc. On my 2013 I had plenty of clearance on the instruments and the shield itself was mounted on rubber washers for isolation. I didn't move my headlight at all. I did use their nicely CNC milled mounts to replace the stock Honda ones. I can't imagine MARLIN would make a poorly engineered product for the 14 and put it on sale when they went through so much trouble on the 13 version. E-mail them with your concern. I'm sure you'll get an answer back ASAP.

All that being said I just took off the Marlin screen and replaced it with a custom full aluminum fly screen I had laying around just to see what it would look like. I like it. Bonus was I drilled the holes in the aluminum using the marlin as a template and it bolted directly to their mounts.

Thanks curlyjoe!

I found some pictures of the Dart flyscreens installed and I don't like the headlight moving forward close to two inches.

I believe I will end up not installing any windscreen.

Thanks for the info Frulk!

I did send an email asking about the 2014 installation (this morning) but most likely I won't use any of the Dart flyscreens because of the headlight relocation. I don't like making changes on the stock parts of the bike to fit accessories.

I went out and superposed the stock brackets onto the dart brackets and the dart brackets move the headlight forward 3/4 of an inch.

Takes 7-10 business days for delivery so it might be cutting it close.

But yours is the old model, right?

I thought I have the new brackets but I have the dart classic screen. I think for long trips on the highway, it will still be tiring. It protects my chest/abdomen but I still get wind on my shoulders and arms.
