Now that I have ordered a new V9 Bobber, I have a couple of accessory questions.
I am used to having a windscreen and some luggage capacity (per my Stelvio).
My questions are about a Guzzi accessory flyscreen and the Hepco-Becker C-Bow bag racks.
1. Does anyone have a V9 flyscreen and does it make any difference re: buffeting or insect deflection?
2. Does anyone have an overall photo of a V9 with just the C-Bow racks? The close-ups on the online stores seem to show they are not very intrusive but I'd like to see an overall view.
ThanksÂ

I am trying a Viper II on mine will arrive July 6. Just want a little wind blast off my chest but no buffeting

Alan, check out Moto Machines web site, they have all the H&B cases and accessories.

I have the flyscreen and the C-Bow racks along with the hard cases.
The flyscreen is effective and makes long stretches at 60+ mph quite doable. 60 mph without the screen was too much work for me. The screen takes most of the pressure off the torso, accomplishing what a flyscreen is supposed to do. With the clamshell ergonomics of the Bobber, it's a big improvement because you don't have a lean angle to counter the wind. Plus the aesthetics are very elegantly matched to the bike. I would attach it for the aesthetic alone. You will have more noise but not offensively so.
I don't have a picture of unadorned racks but I'll tell you it is very unobtrusive, believe me! (doing best Trump impersonation) C-Bow is the way to go on this bike, IMO, if you want to avoid the pregnant guppy look.

Thanks, Adan. That is what I was looking for.
