What I like about the national cycle fly screen is it protects the chest area but still gives you the wind in the face. I protect the face with a FF helmet when cold out. Too me it looks nice enough to keep it on year round.

Given the amount of PMs (50-100) I've answered and forward the link to the flyscreen, I should have been getting a kickback on all they sold... LOL

WildThang, I doubt you've heard this before [LOL] but you have one saweeeeeet looking bike there, very tastefully done. 'Seen pics of it before and have admired it for some time now for it's attitude, grace, and styling.

Just ordered my fly screen today, can't wait to get it next week. Went with the clear as my bike is a little chrome and little black. I'll post some pics soon. Thanks for all the feedback.

I had a fly screen on a bike I used to own. Installation is easy, but centering and aligning takes some time. Not sure you'll want to remove it afterwards.

Flyscreen arrived today. Installation pretty straight forward, did need to play around with the gaskets. The thickest wouldn't work and the next size down was too loose. Had to use that one and one of the thinner ones together. Probably should have read directions however that takes all the fun out of it. All in all about 30 minutes.

Pic's not great as it's a clear shield and in the garage. Did go out for a ride, 39 degrees out. Definitely takes the parachute effect away.........
