Have you had a chance to use it much? How is it on the highway and how tall are you? I know I'll need some wind protection, just not sure what to get. I'd prefer something like this that, in my eye, fits the lines of the bike. On my X-country, I had a similar size screen (maybe even shorter) and found it to be perfectly acceptable so this option interests me assuming it is effective.

I'm really torn between the road comet in silver versus the small aluminum fairing http://japan.webike.net/products/20308609.html I really like the looks of the mugen cb 1100 with the silver fairing http://www.bikeexif.com/honda-cb1100 also but cannot find a source for that particular fairing so I'm trying to achieve similar results with the other options.

the fairing breaks the wind up to about my shoulders, my head is in a steady non buffeting wind stream. I also have the touring aeroscreen for this fairing that I am going to try. I will report back with results. I stand 5'8"

PaulSmile Thanks. I'll be curious to see pics and hear about the touring screen

touring screen for road comet fairing,screen height is 9 3/4" straight up from your installed ignition key.standard screen height is 7 3/4" straight up from your installed ignition key. wind is pretty calm at the chest area, slight buffet at the helmet, the fairing body moves around a bit due to the air force at the upper screen lip. this screen material is 3mm thick, standard screen material is 2mm thick. performance seems o.k.

Your choices look great on the bike. Thanks for sharing your experience. Curious what your choice would be if you could only have one of the three options you've shown?

Thanks

Hmm thanks at 6' I wonder how much air would hit my helmet? I simply prefer the look of these shorter options. Always trade-offs. Did you get the larger screen at the same site or are there more local options? Thanks
