You can see the size difference compared to the Classic screen here. I've been riding with the Classic since I've had the bike. On me, it blocks wind to my chin at all speeds, and is very comfortable.
The Piranha blocks wind to the top of my chest, with the wind hitting my neck and above. I could feel wind coming up under the chin of my helmet, a little chilly now, but I can see this being a great comfort in summer. When I was able to get out of traffic, once I hit 80 mph, I felt my helmet try to lift slightly. Not to much to be a bother, but I see popping this shield on once the weather warms up.
And, I figured "In for a penny, in for a pound". There was a new-in-package Marlin screen for sale locally for a very low price, so I bought it, and am waiting to coordinate picking it up. I'll give that a try as well, and see what I think of all three. Only takes a minute to swap them back and forth.
Gone in 60 this looks great! My bike came with a Marlin in a box, but the installation would have also required replacing the beautiful Aluminum Honda brackets holding the headlight with SS brackets supplied ..so "No Way".
How is the classic bracket attached? 2 points or 4 points to the existing headlight bracket? For reference my bike is a '17 EX. Couldn't tell from the angle in the picture.
Kind Regards,
