Good plan. A black Chic Design Road Comet would also look good, especially on a all black 2014 Std.

Personally I'm still not feeling the screen thing. I know it makes sense if you commute in all weathers. I just don't think it would add more to my bike in usability than it detracts in sheer ugliness.
I guess I'll die a lover of nakeds.

You'll enjoy the ride more if that's what you want.

chrisross,
a nice plan indeed!
Tortuga,
I've always been a died in the wool naked bike man, originally, I was not going to put a screen on mine. We always seem to have strong winds here where I live, and the freeways are frequently elevated, and this just makes the winds harder. I rode without a screen for a couple of months, but I felt like a human parachute on the freeway. At 70+ mph I was sometimes straining to hold on. I decided to get a detachable screen for road trips, and to leave the bike naked when just riding around. After getting the screen, I still prefer the looks of the bike without it, but I have to admit that the ride has been greatly improved, particularly at highway speeds. At this point, I rarely take the screen off.
Cheers
