naked curvy screen suggestions
Anyone got a recommendation for a specific screen for a naked curvy? Just took delivery of a Suzuki one: looks ugly like a farm girl in lipstick, and doesn't fit properly! So it's going back.
I have an old Givi one here too, and can't get that to fit either. I'm just after a simple, small flyscreen to take a bit of wind off. Did a search and couldn't see any specific advice. Any tips? |

Buy a faired model, like this one for example http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=137837 You can then take the fairing off and swap all the gubbins over |

Puig screen looks good – thanks for the pic! Like the bar-end mirrors, too.

I have a simple Skidmarx one on my naked curvy. Fits OK - slightly different shape to Noob's Puig one - but keeps the wind off your chest surprisingly well.

Re: naked curvy screen suggestions
Update on this: I managed to fit an old, plain Givi screen that I once had on a Hornet. Had to mess about with the brackets to get it to fit, and it would only go on the outside of the headlight bracket, so doesn't look especially tidy. BUT, the screen has made a big difference, smoothing out the airflow and meaning my shoulders aren't catching as much wind: the bike feels a lot more controllable at speed as a result. Side benefit: it's also lifted my comfortable cruising speed from 75–80 mph to 85–90 mph.

I have a Skidmarx Gs Type handlebar fairing. I really like the look of it.

this is what i used to have on my old bike. The bike is written off now but i still got the screen if its of any interest to you.
its something Hein Gericke used to sell and its German made so very good quality. It has an iridium finish and a nice mid to dark tint to it too. It made a huge difference to motorway riding and also in the cold and wet, i was surprised just how much of the weather its small size kept off tbh. |

There's a thread with several screens here. I always get positive comments about mine.
