Dart flyscreen and a little Yoshimura stain magic

[GoldOxide_imp]

I plan on machining some small standoffs for the screen as i'll put it on im sure in the colder weather.

I don't know about it being out of its element at speeds, i ride mine well over 80 frequently and its fine. Actually, just did it coming into work this morning.

I find the Dart Marlin 50% effective maybe to speeds up to 120 km/h. After that, it does not really matter that it is there.

haha, you are correct in that its always more fun to ride a slow bike fast vs the other way around

I just dont like hanging out at those speeds without anything to tuck in behind. I just did a 1 yr stint on a 2012 Monster 1100 EVO and sold it for that exact reason. It was a blast down low but totally out of its element up at real speed.

I bought a new R9T Racer back in 2018 and did a 3 yr stint with it - its streamlined bikini fairing created just enough bubble to tuck into. She had a tremendous 6th gear roll on from about 80 and would storm right up into the triple digits with no effort

I think I really like that Camaro.

thx, it was very much a gentleman's sportbike. I fell in love when I saw it and bought it without even riding it first.

BMW discontinued it after a few years as it was not a strong seller, main complaint was the riding position...go figure.

I loved the clipons and the bikes fit and finish was absolutely superb. Main issue for me was, like the CB1100, it needed major suspension help to the tune of about $2k, and in the end, with very limited tuning options, you were limited to its stock 110 hp.

I bought it in November 2018 heavily discounted by the dealer and kept it 3 yrs and 5500 miles before sending it to a new home.

One of my all time favorite shots

has nothing to do with 'slow bikes' its just a preference. I've been on & owned plenty of fast naked bikes. I don't like faired bikes. I also don't have an issue hanging on at high speeds.

Its not a matter of fast vs slow per say but rather one of limitations and grip has nothing to do with it.

Can't disagree as to why.

Sorry for the thread hijack, just taken my Dart off and going to try naked. Not sure if the screen does anything (it was on when I got the bike) and it seems to direct the wind up the front of my helmet.

Too many motorcycle jackets hanging in that garage....defiantly need to buy a few more bikes to much their number

Wind screens and helmets seem to be a subjective matter with riders and bikes from all around. Nothing seems ever certain from one rider to another.

I agree, I was briefly up to 4 bikes after I bought the CB, dropped back to 3 when I sold the 1100EVO

I was telling my cousin who just got into riding to buy good gear and it will last a lifetime. All of the gear I have was bought over a 30+ yr period, you just gotta keep from getting too fat to fit in it.
