I like the naked look better. 65,000 kms (40,000 miles) for me without any sort of screen.

My vote- go naked, and get rid of those dinky blinkers. The earlier larger units look much more authentic. Smile

Dinky blinkers? Those are the stock blinkers

Naked for sure , your bike looks fantastic without the shield and being fully in the wind feels next to flying IMO

I wear an open face Captain America helmet with sunglasses Biker
Sat will go for a group ride and will have a flip down shield and slightly lean forward after 80 but Naked is the way to go in Florida Year round.

Naked rules... when I was trying to decide on a good username, the first thing that came to mind was BestNaked. But after seeing it typed out I quickly changed it to BestStandard for obvious reasons!!!

I do have saddlebags that I just hate the look of but they serve a purpose. I do take them off if I don't need them. [Image: da11d6148c076378463a071917cfed4c.png]

I actually considered trying to pick up a set of the (slightly) larger 2013 blinkers from a forum member who removed theirs for really dinky lights, but not sure if it would be worth it. Maybe if I could get a set really cheap........... anybody?

Naked. There's nothing like bug splat at speed on the visor to perk up the ride.

when my brother and I are out riding, we get hit by some flying bugs so hard, that it sounds like a rock bouncing off your helmet or shield. BONK! We can actually hear the other being hit thru the intercoms. We call them flying rocks!
