It would be great to come up with one that incorporated the headlight , and came up high enough to keep the wind off us for freeway riding, and could easily and quickly be installed and taken off as needed. One that we could put on when taking off on a long freeway ride, and take off when back riding in the city. That's what I am looking for, if you come up with that, I'm in!!!

I like it. It echos the design of the tank which nobody else has bothered to do. the dp screen looks out of place. I would favor the higher or "normal" size. I don't see the "lower" version offering any more wind protection than the stock piece so what would be the point? It's a tough call, you'll never be able to get it high enough to get great wind deflection without looking funny. Also, any larger would require bracing and that's another can of worms.  I think you've split the difference nicely.

Carbon fiber is nice but I'm with the crowd that would like it in the stock colors with a clear or smoked plastic center portion. Nice work, I think I'll want one. Any ideas on price?

Does this make use of the existing hardware that secures the bikini windscreen?

We want to keep the windscreen within the $150 range.  The big problem we face is doing the smoke screen. A solid color would keep production costs down, but I definitely think the stock colors with smoke screen would look the best.  I am also going to investigate a quick change option and I might have that figured out.

Hey Ryan, will this screen be functional for the most part?

I'm wondering if that bikini windscreen offers any wind protection at all. If it does, I would put it on.
