The windshield fairing around the LED headlamp provides that sort of alien cyclops flair. I think the silver-grey help with that.

I think it looks GREAT, and a short test ride was encouraging. No added buffeting or noise on or around my head. Success!

Yeah, that’s mine, actually. :hello:Frulk_imp said:
Yes, hand formed aluminium, made to order by Samurider in Japan.
Very relieved that it looks good, and after riding around some more today I’m even happier with how well it works.

I can't tell...did you get the polished or brushed version? Looks fantastic on your bike in any case!!!!Hovmod_imp said:Received this from Japan yesterday, mounted today.

I too use a Street Shield on my EX. I only keep a windshield on one bike to ride when the weather is bad or the winds high to reduce stress on me. But I really like it.

I totally agree, it looks so good!
Yesterday I did notice that at certain speeds (hard to pinpoint exactly, prevailing wind is a direct factor) I get a slight change in wind noise, so the turbulence off the edge of the screen does hit my ears in some cases. If this becomes a proper issue, I’ll have a much harder time removing it than I expected, it’s just looks so good!
This is the polished version with clear screen. Brushed and tinted glass added to the already high cost. I’d have loved it if it matched the brushed
side cover, but opted for a smooth one. Maybe I’ll polish the cover to match the screen?

I have mra varioscreen on 17 ex. I am not big on the looks but it functions well and easy to remove . Much better than the dart bikini fairing I have which just makes wind noiseYata-Garasu_imp said:

I haven't tried any windscreens on tbe CB1100 except for the Road Comet I've just installed, and I'm very happy with the way it redirects airflow from my chest, also provides a bubble to tuck into at higher speeds.

Few would complain if they could make the Comet-like fairings work for them. The alternative screens are mostly dismal in curb appeal on the CB1100.tod.branko_imp said:

I honestly didn't know what to expect, but there is no turbulence whatsoever, no new noises, and I think I get less front end lift on the highway.GoldOxide_imp said:

Just came home from a longer ride. 1200+ kms, two full days of riding on all sorts of road.
The fairing makes cruising at highway speeds considerably more comfortable, and the turbulence only hits my ears properly when I approach 160kmh (100mph), and only if I hunch a tiny bit. At those speeds the 'naked' wind noise is ridiculous anyway, and with my new moulded earplugs I came home with no tinnitus whatsoever.
Also, I don't ride that fast. Not for long, anyway. The Samurider Comet stays.
I hadn't adjusted the headlight properly, and that became an issue when it became dark. I'm very disappointed with the light at its best, and pointed a tiny bit down it becomes frustratingly pointless. I'm replacing this winter, time to go looking for the LIGHT!

Hello! I know this is an old reply on an old thread, but I really like how your Venom looks on your CB, and I'm looking to do something similar on mine (2013). A couple questions:mvk24_imp said: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

1) What dremel bit did you use to get such clean cuts? Which RPM did you use? I tried a couple test cuts on a part of my fairing that was going to be cut off anyway, and I had a hard time getting a precise cut. Plastic just seems to melt away at high RPM, and the bit seems to want to jerk back and forth as I move it along at low RPM. I was using a 561 multipurpose bit.
2) My Venom (MkII) seems to rub against my instrument cluster when I line it up with the headlight bolts. It doesn't look like it's doing that with your bike; how did you manage that?

Yeah, I love my Dart screens. Have 'em on all three bikes, and can switch them around as I see fit.

Yes, the Dart offerings don't offend the CB1100 appearance too much.

I will look in the case in the garage but om pretty sure it was just one of those router style bits that look like a normal drill bit but allow you cut sideways. Even it its melting its way through slightly I'd say you're good. You can clean up the edges with gentle sanding or a razor blade.
I had to use 2 small spacers from a universal windscreen mounting kit and slightly longer bolts to mount the windscreen to the headlight/mounts. I then just cut a small piece of foam tape maybe 1/2 inch thick and stuck it onto the part of the gauges where the windscreen wanted to rest.
All in all it was a very easy job just took some patience the mark and cut everything.
I had to trim the sides to clear the turn signals and I believe I had to trim alot at the front bottom of the fairing for it to clear the horns.

The dart may fit fine, but the road comet is well worth its money for fit, quality, and the original CB1100 colors (matching the tank).René_B_imp said:
One other aspect is hard to test or prove, but when you "dremel" your fit, you want to be sure that the damn thing stays on at 100 mph
and when a strong gust or a semi comes your way.
