After a few miles on my newly acquired Monster I realized that the factory mounting for the small headlight fairing was less than up to standard of the rest of my beautiful bike.  I played with a few ideas but then I found that someone had already solved this problem.  After a review of the http://www.poorducrider.com website, a quick email, $35 via PayPal and I had a set on the way.

Today I put them on which took me a total of 10 minutes.  I can tell you I am more than pleased.  The fit perfect and work very well!  These are a must have for your Italian girlfriend (or boyfriend for our Lady DUC riders).

I was too cheap to pay $35 for that so I made a set myself.  $5 at Home Depot.  either way, it works.   [beer]

I stuff the space between the screen and gauges with a hockey puck and a Desmo Times stand coaster thingie, handy place to store em and bucks up the screen nicely.

I put the Poorducrider fairing stays on a few years ago and like the look and the stable screen.  However, I think the flapping screen did more to dampen the wind and reduce turbulence (on my head) at 100+.  No free lunches.

IMO it is a MUST HAVE unless going naked.
I added on a MRA windscreen that is just lightly taller and has a bit of a flip up to it.
It allows me to ride comfortably at 80-85mph before I'm getting pummeled.... and I'm 6'2"
