Naked front screen worth it?
Hello guys
Looking at this front screen http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/391375124061 My question is will it make any difference to wind blasting? Thanks |

Re: Naked front screen worth it?
MrC says its worthwhile fitting a screen to a naked bike. Just takes the edge off, won't stop your head getting buffeted, but even the fairing on my curvy doesn't stop that unless I'm tucked right down

Yeah mine (airblade double bubble) takes the wind off my chest, still get some round my head but gives you a big muscular neck

I have a Puig on my naked. Recommended. At higher speeds you can duck down behind it to get your head our of the worst of the wind.

Re: Naked front screen worth it?
I had a 2003 Z1000 with a small screen. Tucked in with your chin on the tank it provided a surprising amount of protection, as I found out when I took it to the Nurburgring. Got to the point on the final straight where you need to start slowing down for the exit and made the mistake of sitting up at an indicated 165 mph - thought my head was going fall off!

I have a Puig screen too. Well worth it, and they look good too.
