Flyscreen
« on: July 03, 2009, 10:37:18 AM »
I'm looking for a flyscreen for my 550F. I've looked at some old posts and a lot of people said they were going to try the Dart flyscreens, but never reported back if it worked or not. Anybody know if these will fit or any other kind of flyscreen for that matter?

Whats the difference between a fly screen and a wind screen?

That is an inconceivably egregious transgression against my rudimentary concordance of socially shunned individuals.

I'd like to know as well. I'm in the south, and in the summer evenings you wouldn't believe the bugs on a country road.

Im pretty sure a flyscreen, windscreen, fairing (with windshield) are all the same thing.

That's pretty nice, but for my $85 I could probably do better on my own.

As I understand it a flyscreen is shorter and much lower profile than a windscreen.  They'll be windscreens when they grow up...

I've got a National Cycle F16 Tall Touring model with my own 4-point mount on my Nighthawk and it looks and works very nicely.

That does look pretty sweet, but I just put drag bars on my bike and everything is kind of cluster #$%*ed on there so I don't know if there would be room for them to clamp on there. I would like to find one that I can bolt on to the headlight ears.

This is the cleanest factory flyscreen I've seen. Check out the Triumph mounts at the bottom of the page. They used to make these for the CB750, so it may be worth a telephone call...  RR
