Dart Marlin Flyscreen - A Quick Review

[GoldOxide_imp]

I installed the Marlin on a 2014 CB1100A. Packaging, fit and finish were top-notch. Delivery was 5 to 6 calendar days to Canada. Installation was very easy and fast. Hardware mounting was firm and confident. Communication with Dart was very pleasant.

Qualitatively speaking, I feel the Marlin provides maybe around a 50% pressure reduction on the upper body at 120 km/h. I actually found myself drifting into the 140 km/h cruising range somewhat, um, unexpectedly ;D with the Marlin. I have done mostly freeway riding and I am still assessing helmet buffeting behaviour. I think it is okay and better than other windshields on my past rides. I am also taking into consideration my helmet model. So far so good, but I will learn more throughout the riding season.

In short: I like the lines and style. Value is good. The flyscreen does not vibrate like others tend to do, however, it is smaller too.

Minor notes: Do expect the headlight to be offset forward by about two inches or so. This will expose headlight harness wiring more than the original bike bracket design.
