Default Dart Fly Screen on Fat Bob

Just installed it yesterday, not much seat time yet but it seems to deflect the wind off my chest a bit. Haven't tried highway speeds yet.

Looks good on the bike. How is that Super Brace working out for you? is it worth the $200.00? I also see you have installed an oil pressure gauge. Does that eliminate the idiot light on the tank?

The super brace does make a difference, I've had it for a few years. The front end seems to track better and feel more stable. The oil light is still there and active.

Never saw this screen before, I like it. Hope to hear more about how it does at higher speeds. Where did you pick this up from?

I bought it directly from Dart. It's their Manta fly screen for the Triumph Thunderbird. I had to drill and tap mounting holes on the underside of the upper triple tree.

This may not look quite as good, but after reading tons of positive reviews on how well it actually works at diverting wind, we ended up with the National Cycle Flyscreen. Takes most of the wind off your chest, without causing buffeting.

I also have the National Flyscreen (like the look, BTW).

It looks to be pretty much the same functionality as the Dart.

If so, yep, you'll notice a difference at highway speeds.

Be sure to fiddle with the fine tuning on its angle and height. Little degrees of adjustment can make all the difference.
