Photo of my Parabellum. It's nicely sealed around the headlight, making a dead air pocket for my torso. Really nice in colder temperatures

LikeAfox: How is the air/temperature comfort in the profuse summer humidity? (Or do you remove it in summer?)

It's the opposite effect in the summer heat, of course. So just remove it, it's only 4 bolts.

I would like to find a set of handguards that match the looks of the bike. Anyone has any suggestions?

If it is for the colder months the Barkbuster Blizzards are a great handguard. I use these during the winter months with summer gloves as I am not keen on a big bulky winter glove. They work very well in the rain and keep a lot more wind off the hand too. They are not a muff and not hard plastic, its like a tank bag type material. They do require the inner bar end weights on a Honda to come out though.

I have a pair of these but can't remember who made them. Maybe someone will recognize them.

I don't think that any of those ovals match the lines of the bike. Like, at all.

I think these ATV guards may be okay, but they are obviously scooter sized https://www.ebay.com/itm/273800585010

Maybe these? https://barkbusters.net/products/carbon/

This is my Road Comet fairing (with a tall windscreen not available anymore).

After doing several tests, I decided to remove the windshield because it created turbulence and it was more annoying than traveling without itConfused

Sounds like a crappy design. Screens that block a wide swath of air and then end abruptly, create a channeled stream of air past its edge. Which is the exact problem with my Parabellum, see pictures above. I had to use a little deflector to keep air from smashing into my eyes. Maybe consider something similar before shelving it completely.

Here is what mine looks like, on my other bike for reference
