I have a RSL? comfort kit which I have fitted to 2 curvies. The handlebars just clear the tank but this kit came with a modified screen. You will probably have to cut off the 2 top ends of the screen and re-round them.

I fitted a comfort kit to my dads curvy SV, and had to cut of the two swept back parts of the screen, and also made a slight cutout on the right hand side for the master cylinder (we used the naked style master cylinder with built in reservoir). I'll take some pics later.

Sorry for lateness! The screen is a Powerbronze light smoke. Aftermarket ones are more suitable for cutting down as they don't have the wide lip moulded into the edges like the OEM part does.

85jas - Don't cut your screen. I remember I have a screen that has been trimmed at the edges for some reason and might be of use to you. Just need to hunt it out so if you haven't started this might help.

Mikerj that looks really neat - I'm definitely gonna try and find a brake setup from a naked. Always thought that clear plastic cylinder looked a bit wierd! The change in handlebar position looks good too, I can't wait to get mine on :)

Squirrel that would be fantastic if you had another screen banding about - I have this fetish for keeping all the OEM parts so one day, when I lose it entirely, I have the option of reversing all my hard work ;)

I think in the spirit of things I'm gonna photograph the whole lot and write it up - might make it easier for somebody else in the future! Not started yet though, still waiting for it all to turn up! come on postman... [-o<
