This is a photo from when I had my mini apes. I'm just barely over 6ft and the fly screen helped but honestly the back rest helped more. For someone shorter I could see it helping more but it all depends on your set up. I'd say it was 25% as effective as a full sized 18" windshield but was much better than nothing.
Here's mine with Biltwell Frisco bars on the 1200C riser. I like that it covers the custom riser.
I'm 6'3" and thin. Above 40mph it moved the wind from my chest up to my helmet. I like that my head is still in the wind. If I "tuck" down a bit on the interstate you can feel when you go in/out of the air pocket it creates. No buffeting/wobble/issues for me.
Awesome, thanks guys. They look great. I'll definitely be considering this. Along with a few other like the MS El Rey, or the MS Gauntlet. But this one looks great too.
I like my Harley screen, but it was $250 retail, bought on line for $199. Just keeps wind off my chest and helps reduce the feel of being pulled of the bike at speed. Had it up to bout 90 and no issues.
Super thread necro. I just received the Dart Classic Dark in the mail today. Seven days from England to Western Canada. No extra fees upon delivery.
I purchased the Dart to, hopefully, mitigate wind blast freeway speeds. The feeling of just hanging on is a bit unsettling, and the hand and arm pump was aggravating.
This will be going on a 2004 Roadster (speedo and tach), which despite the website stating otherwise, allegedly fits according to the Dart CSR and the owner. We'll see.
I'll post up some pictures once it's installed and a review once the rain settles down.
