My screen is functional IF you tuck half helmut or better, which is getting pretty low and a strain on the neck after only a minute. John C has a new unit that is half as high as anything else I have seen and that one can't possibly do much but look great.

I had one fitted from new (factory type), looked great.. after a few thousand km I wondered why all the bugs were flying up under/in my helmet and thought I'd try it without the screen... bingo... now its not only smoother in the wind, there's no bugs swirling round inside my helmet!!! no screen for me

It does'nt do much at high speeds, u can tuck in all you want but it doesnt help. looks good though. I like that it covers up the small dash

werloc, who make the shield in the photo?
On a side note. If you do get the DP wind shield you must be very careful with it. It you put any stress on it by hand it will shatter. Don't ask me how I know this.

Werloc- great minds think alike, i wear the same Burst helmet in red+black too.
because of helmet, red duc jacket and red and black gloves, the guys at work now refer to me as "The Red Power Ranger" along with my riding partners the white and black Power Rangers

I'm just not feeling the screens. One thing I like about this bike is the view over the front. I like being able to see nothing but road in front of me...and I'm so short that I would have problems seeing over a screen! LOL!

I think the screen works great so I bought one from a friend on the board.
I never installed it...
