My Dart flyscreen is almost naked. Sort of like a fig leaf or maybe a speedo.

Quote:I actually considered trying to pick up a set of the (slightly) larger 2013 blinkers from a forum member who removed theirs for really dinky lights, but not sure if it would be worth it.

I love mine. The devil is in the details.

If you don't want to spend for new ones, just keep you eyes on eBay.

I don't like big windshields, but I like the sporty look of my Road Comet 1. I do, however, also like the look without it. I do feel it makes a difference on longer rides, which I enjoy.

Last year I hit 3 birds, robins, in a 2 week period. All off the helmet going around 70. All on the same stretch of road within about 100 ft of each other. They'd just spook out of the bushes with no reaction time. That will rattle you.

Since it has been firmly established that Hondas in general are sorely lacking in character Confused, does adding a shield give it just a little?

: )

Sorry, couldn't resist.
That was being facetious!

I had the pleasure of riding in hail a couple of weeks ago. It hurt. I was thinking, "Darn, those are some big raindrops!" Made me miss the big touring screen I had on my GPZ1100. Still, I can't see putting much of a screen on the CB, it just looks too cool without it. I did get one of these, for $35 they are pretty hard to be. Best of all, it goes off and on in less than 5 mins.

Faced same dilemma when I got back from my end of summer touring. Took of the big/nice barndoor touring screen and was going to put on my smaller screen but decided not too. OMG .... I fell back in love with the naked look. Ran naked for about 5 weeks, but then needed to go on a longer desert ride and I just didn't want all the darn buffeting, so put on the smaller screen which worked great. Problem is that I can get the naked look out of my head (this is sounding like biker porn now). Anyway, at least the screens are pretty quick to put on and take off Smile
