Ah, wait, when I said "behind it" I didn't mean actually behind it, just... behind it. I reckon the small and lithe could manage it though. If I tuck in that far I'd have to look through the top of my lid.

Cut a hole in it then, less weight on the bike too, so a mod I advise you declare to your insurance company because it increases overall speed of the bike!


(can you tell it's almost time for me to go home?)

Edit: Actually, before someone goes ahead & does it... do not under any circumstances alter your helmet by cutting/drilling/hammering/etc, please.

I vote for a Fabbri as well, mine is dark tint and I have a dark visor in the day. I normally look over the screen but I can still see road through the screen.

Didn't have that much problem with wind blast from the original screen. Apparently "I ride with my chin on the tank", was a comment given to me at a rideout.

Dark Fabbri for me too, can see through it when I can be bothered to scrunch up which is rare and only on trackdays. Although "on a private road" to catch the euro tunnel the other day me and the SV managed a comfyish cruise at 180 km/h, which I definitely attribute to the screen. Droppping down to 160 km/h on other private roads and you are in the comfort zone (sat uprightish), with little difference to 100 km/h (60 mph), I find it that good.

Just done Fort William to Paisley on Monday

104 on the clock.

Done 1st leg to work this morning got to 130 so far........no light!!!! :shock:

So I am expecting it on the return from work today.

No bubble, no mods, easy riding keeping around 6k revs smooth accelerating and braking/ downshifting.

Cheers

Fabbri DB for me, made a big difference to high speed comfort. Can't say it did anything for the mpg though. Maybe you have shoulders like a billboard, I know I don't!

Can you see over the screen?

No, if I have my chin on the tank I look through it but most of the time I have my head a little higher so I can peer over the screen.

I have a dark tint airblade fitted on mine, not as big as the double bubble as far as I can make out on pics, but it has made a difference on the motorway... my head no longer looks like a noddy dog on the back shelf of a car.

Got to 150.4 before the light came on today.

Filled up at 155, put 12 litres in.

Probably another 4 to 4.5 in the tank so I reckon I'd have gotten

to around 200? Or is that just wishful thinking?

Still can't be /-\rsed doing the running it dry excercise.

Cheers
