fly screen worth it?

I have the Dart Fly Screen and would never think about taking it off.

I pulled the fairing off for about a week. 10 miles on the expressway was all it took to convince me that it made a big difference.

It's all up to individual taste methinks. Personally, I like the retro look of the single headlight by itself. My flyscreen lasted about 24 hours before I took it off - first mod I did actually! I don't mind the windblast. But that's just me.

aluminum handlebars are available for a bit less than 500 bucks. try TAG, Renthal, MOOSE, MSR. they ordinarily range from $30 to $75 for regular 7/8 inch aluminum bars, many color choices available. wife likes her Dart Flyscreen a whole bunch. but i would not call it a "fairing" a flyscreen does not make a goldwing out of a monster.

The Dart Flyscreen looks awesome! You get protection as well as the look of no fairing.

Question: Can someone comment on Dart Flyscreen VS standard monster bikini fairing as far as protection goes? I would really like to change, but like the protection of the fairing. easily 1/2 of my time is superslab at 80-85 mph.

Thanks in advance! and Amen!

get a fairing...esp if you plan on riding during the winter. it helps kep the wind off of you a bit more. i prefer not to have one myself, so i am extremely picky about them. they have to have a certain look and must match the color of the bike. all that being said, i have yet to find one i actually like, but when it's cold out certain things take precedence.

yes, all this pickyness from the guy who wants to put moto-x handguards on his monster.... :

Mine is an M1000 DS 2005, and I never see removing my fly screen, I really like it, and it does cut down on a lot of wind. I have really grown to love the look of it too. I think of it as an eyebrow for a nasty grin ;D as far as looks go.

I love my screen, and mine is black, not matte black, and I love it

Mines a stock screen I picked up on Ebay then painted to match. With a fair bit of highway riding to do around here it made a significant difference to the wind blast at speed. IMHO it's a necessity for rides of any duration. It cuts down on fatigue and the wind chill in the cooler conditions.
