Windscreen Options?

[Yata-Garasu_imp]

What are some of the fairing options for the CB1100? Do they vary by year? Or is there a standard fitment that works for all years?

My new-to-me 2014 came with a "bikini cowl" installed by the previous owner that looked cool, but it served no functional purpose at all and would vibrate at highway speed.

I have a Memphis Shades quick release windscreen on my Shadow 750 that I like. I would like find something similar for the 2014.

I uses 2 different Puig universal windscreens for awhile and the Puig Raptor fit better. Alot of guys like the Dart Marlin but I can't justify the price over a Puig.

Alot of guys order the road comet fairing from japan but it runs about 350$ plus shipping.

I just fitted up the Emgo Venom that looks nearly identical to the road comet and it only cost me 70$ from either ebay or amazon. I just had to Dremel away a little bit to clear the horns and turn signals but it was easy and clean and I can send you the photos of how and where I did it.


This is the Emgo Venom

i've used this in the past by national plexifairing.
it blocks wind the best, even all the way across the hands.

I've since replaced it with this one by MRA. Go to the 40 sec. mark if you don't want to see all the products listed for the CB1100 from twisted throttle.

Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Thanks Gordo, there's been about 4 additions to the bike since that photo last month so I will take an updated one later. I went to the micro LED turn signals and it looks very sleek now

I use a modified National Cycle Street Shield EX

although in summer I remove it

I have a giant Parabellum screen and couple generic ones before that. http://parabellum.com/Sport-Shield-Honda-CB1100-2013--P111.aspx

It's nice and wide, wraps around headlight and keeps your torso wind-free. The only issue is abrupt cutoff that makes for severe wind buffering at speed. I had to mitigate that with a little clip on auxiliary screen.

I absolutely love my National Cycle Street Shield EX!!!

Get one and install then!

Puig.

Puig.

Which Puig model is that? It looks decent and seems like it might be big enough to actually do some good at speed. How do you like it in terms of airflow?

I recently put on this EMGO Viper fairing on my 2013, and I like the way it looks, but it sucks at speed. I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetics of the venom fairing, as I'd rather the headlight hole stay round, but I can see how it would do a better job of deflecting air. With the viper, the top of the windscreen is pretty much parallel to the ground, so instead of throwing the air up higher, it comes straight over it. From what i've seen on other posts here, it seems like the road comet 2 is a good way to go, but man, they're expensive. I'm curious what's worked well for others. I'm 6' 0" and in an ideal world, the air would hit me at my shoulders.

Hey CRush! - Welcome to the CB1100 Forum!

I used a Dart Marlin screen, not nearly as sophisticated, but was useful up to about 120 km/h for no more than 50% relief.

I use a street shield ex with 3 inches or so cut off the top. I’m 6’1” and it works well.

How was the install?

I have the Emgo Venom ll and it took a little alteration with a dremel. Not hard to do just tedious to get it right. But now it will come on and off with little effort. Have to remember I have spacers between the fairing and the headlight bucket though before they fall lol.

The install was actually quite easy. the brackets it came with slid onto the headlight bolts with no problem. That might not be the case with the original headlight brackets though. Mine came with a dart marlin installed, and I hear those brackets come forward an inch or so from the original, which were not included.

In that case I may not have had to trim mine. I probably had to trim about an inch at the center diameter (I did a rounded cut) to clear the turn signals

Nice find, I see they also do a mini screen, now on sale at €19.99! I think I will buy one just to have as an option.

Not my style but the handlebar fairing looks quite decent if that's your thing.

My Givi A660 arrived this morning. I will post a few pics, notes on assembly, fitting and how well it performs.
