I've spent hundreds of pounds, (more of your dollars), searching for perfection which I hardly ever achieved. How surprised I was with the CB, with the clean airflow up to 80mph which is around my preferred cruising speed on the motorway. My question is, anyone who found the naked ride acceptable like me, fitted a dart and found a noticeable improvement? (fair weather riding only

Marvin I can handle a naked bike up to any speed for a short time, and up to about 70-75 for a long time. Above 75 I like some kind of pressure relief on my stomach/chest.

As far as sorting out a new screen for any bike remember this aerodynamics are aerodynamics. A small screen will punch a small hole and a large screen punches a large hole. Always been that way, will always be that way. if you are not getting the still air you are looking for you must go larger. A flyscreen looks cool, but don't expect it to do the job of a larger screen because physics tells us that's impossible. Noticeable improvement? Probably as in stomach/chest relief, but what is noticeable to one may be insignificant to another looking for more wind protection.

Also, the screen does provide a some, though not much, wind protection. It definitely still feels like a naked bike. The fit is very close between the screen and the instrument cups and at certain rpms I can hear what I believe are the bolts on the backside of the screen vibrating against the instrument cups. I didn't see any way to adjust the screen to provide more space. I'm thinking of ways to pad the space. A rubber bolt cap would be great but I need to figure out the proper size and if they make such a thing.

Nice photos! Loving the midnight flyscreen coupled with the headlight cage.

Thanks JMA!

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you! I found it on eBay. Not sure if it was this seller but might as well have been: [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Inch-Mesh-Headlight-Grille-In-Choice-Of-Finish-/222248459241?hash=item33bf0a5be9:g:RNAAAOSw2GlXJOWU&vxp=mtr]http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Inch-Mesh-Head...WU&vxp=mtr

I never did figure out how to use the metal fasteners and opted for zipties which work well enough. Glad to serve as inspiration!
