I run the Dart fly screen most of the time to protect the speedo and keep some wind off my torso - helmet is in clean air. Come the colder months I switch to this ugly but effective National Cycle F15 tour screen with Vario spoiler.
If you don't mind, how tall are you? I have been thinking getting a "taller" touring shield too for longer ride (500 KM+) muti day trip.Marlin works well keeping the pressure away my chest but my neck does get a bit tired after a full day of riding due to clean air hitting the head.
I'm 5'11" but short limbed/ long torso. From a seat to head length I'm probably an inch or two 'taller' than my actual height.
So I really like my Stornello looks the way it is. I have a Dart flyscreen, bar end mirrors, a stone guard over the headlight and a soft luggage tail pack. Problem is when there's a pretty good breeze going and it's 110 degrees that breeze feels like a hair dryer pointing right in your face. I'd like to put a somewhat better windshield but I want to keep the sporty looks. So I'm open to pictures and suggestions. I thought something like a GiviA770N or 800N but they are pretty pricey. Alternatives ?
retro?
This is the only wind deflector I will put on the V7. Maybe a smart phone or GoPro on the other RAM ball, but that is is. No issues when riding a true 70 mph while wearing leathers and carbon fiber FF helmet.
I find my V7iii great with no wind screen up to about 75mph. I guess if I was going to drone for hours on end at 80-90mph I would want a nice screen. I kind of like really knowing how fast I�m going from the extra breeze at 85. Helps stay out of serious ticket territory.
I’m with Kevin. The smaller fairings like the Dart did nothing for me. I don’t like giant barn door fairings. I’m riding a motorcycle. And I don’t like helmet buffering. The best solution by far was a super cheap ($50) Emgo “bikini” fairing. It keeps a lot of wind off the chest at higher speed. Allows clean airflow to helmet. Keeps a lot of rain and sun off the instrument panel. I swapped out the stock bars for Norman Hyde “M” bars. That permits more of a lean forward position, but not too radical. A leaned forward position and a bikini fairing is what works for me. Bending forward at the hips keeps stress off my bad back. Leaning forward takes the weight off my wrists at 70 mph plus because the airflow lifts you up a bit, as opposed to trying to blow you off the back of the bike. But I’ve liked that sort of set up for decades; maybe I’m just so used to it I see no reason to change.
