Default Fat Bob Flyscreen
Well, just recieved my flyscreen from Phil Birch and put it on. It goes with a clamp around the triple trees. Can be adjusted sideways but the tilt angle is fixed and the height is fixed. I ordered mine 2 inch higher than standard given my T bars. Happy with the looks and happy with a bit less wind pressure too.

That's definitely unique looking.

I've always liked the looks of the Flyscreen, but do they really help at all with the wind? I wanna put one on my FXDC, but only if it actually does something to help.

I agree 100% I hear all the time about this Windshield or that Windshield but never a good FULL report overall . Does the Flyscreen do anything at all ? If so tell me what it will do .

Had one on my last three bikes.

It takes the wind off the head and upper chest, as well catching the flies.

I've tried a few screens, from Windvest to HD Quick Release barn doors. They all either cause unacceptable buffeting or catch in cross-winds or look fugly. Flyscreens do just enough for me to take the pressure off my head without the disadvantages of the bigger screens.

Never heard complaints about a few extra inches, Foxter :-) Anyway, just did 200 kms on the highway at a cruising speed of around 135 kmh. That would be 124 miles at 84 mph converted. No wind against chest, much less wind pressure against neck and lower part of the helmet. Wind still seems to catch the top of the helmet but that doesn't matter a lot. No buffeting. So quite happy.
