Nice, Mike! Does yours do what I hope it will do -- keep most of the wind off your chest and keep your head in the clean airflow?
What kind of mirrors are those? Just wondering because I had some Aprilia Tuono mirrors on my Hawk GT and they worked great.

That's just what I'm after for my bike. Webike has something similar, but with shipping its $400.
I emailed Steve and asked him to post here when his product is ready. If its in the $200 range likethe current profducts I willdefinitely get one.

Good job, spaceman, emailing Steve like that.The Spaceman_imp said:
The Dart website shows the one for the W800 at $134.95 including shipping, so hopefully the one for the CB1100 will be priced similarly.

Hi, Scooby.......the flyscreen was very minimal as far as wind protection. It did deflect some of the blast, but it mostly kept bugs off the meters.
I would say it keeps some of the wind off your chest and does keep your head in the clean airflow. The mirrors are KTM units that I have used on probably 10 motorcycles , from Vstroms (where I first saw them) to Moto Guzzis, and various Kawasakis and Suzukis. They are vibration free and provide a great view rearward without the usuall shoulder and elbow images. And, I like how they blend in with most handlebars. Cheapest I have found new side covers is $125 including shipping per side. Seems like there is not that much to save. May as well buy them painted fron WeBike!

Thanks, Mike, for the flyscreen feedback. I might look into those KTM mirrors for my Super Tenere.

I'll buy a Dart Flyscreen just as soon as it becomes available for the CB1100. I've had one on my Bonneville for over 3 years, and I really like it. The Triumph dealer here provides service loaners; two times I got Bonneville loaners, and the ride on the freeway without the Dart was way less pleasant.

That's good to hear Elf. At one time I owned two Hawk GTs -- one with a small screen, not much more than a flyscreen really, and one without. The one with the small screen was much better to ride at higher speeds. It seems like even a small screen will get just enough pressure off your chest so you don't feel like you're clinging to the bars like you would on a totally naked bike.Elf_68_imp said:

Scooby, what brand of fly screen did you have on your Hawk GT?

Yoyo, I still have the Hawk with the small screen, but sold the other one, a red one. It's a National Cycle F-series, I believe F-16 or F-18. It's not really a 'flyscreen' in the strictest sense, but isn't full or mid-sized either. It functions exactly how I'd like it to on the Hawk. A couple of photos:Yoyodyne_imp said:

They're still out there if you search; it's getting harder to find a good one though as most of them fell into neglect or were trashed by the youngsters. Still the most flickable, agile streetbike I've ever owned -- makes the CB11 seem like a bit of a barge in comparison, but that's unfair really -- the CB11 is still an agile, good-handling bike, it's just that a Hawk is so narrow and light. You should at least find someone who owns one and have them let you borrow it. If you were local, I'd let you borrow mine.
They do have a much sportier riding position than the CB, but are fine for day trips if you're still fairly limber. Oh, and the stock Hawk seat SUCKS so aftermarket is a must for the older crowd IMHO.

Spaceman, I got a similar email from Steve -- I don't remember the exact date, but it was the same day as my original post in this thread, probably at least a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure he's a busy guy, though, so hopefully we hear from him sometime in August.
