RE: Dart Fly screen input needed
After a few days of very windy weather this past week, I made some observations about the flyscreen:
Under very windy conditions, I noticed very noticeable wind noise and head stability issues. It wasn't to the point to where I felt unsafe, but it did affect my overall riding experience. Under ideal conditions, the Dart screen has never given me any issues, so this was very interesting for me. Yesterday & today, I've had the flyscreen off, and the overall riding experience is a lot more pleasant- distribution of wind is even with less noise and good stability. Obviously, I have to lean a little at higher speeds, but to me it's a fair trade-off, seeing as I usually in a 3/4 with the flyscreen at high speeds anyways. Also, I feel less drag on the bike, making it feel like it's going faster than what I'm accustomed to.
To be fair, a lot of the wind noise and instability may have to do with my helmet (Arai Defiant), as its particular brand isn't known for quiet helmets. And I only took off the flyscreen on my Triumph Bonneville; I plan on running the same experiment on the CB (I installed the flyscreen immediately after buying the bike so I actually wouldn't know how the bike rides without one lol). Also, it hasn't been windy on my post-flyscreen rides, so I'll obviously have to follow up when that happens. Just wanted to put this out there for anyone who's recently bought a flyscreen or is considering getting one.
