Windscreen question

[vigge79]

I´ve started to ride my M695 darkness to work and have realised that a windscreen probably isn´t such a bad thing. However I´m super concerned about the looks of the bike getting trashed with a big ugly window in front. Noticed that MonsterParts have a wide range of alternatives. Anyone familiar with this one or anything similar?

I dont know how much this actually is a WINDscreen though.

there is a picture of one of those painted and installed floating around.  looks pretty good actually.  Not sure how well it does on deflecting wind however.

If you use a "normal" bikini fairing, it works much better with fairing stays.

I have a smoked Dart Flyscreen from MonsterParts on my S2R... I notice that it does deflect a good amount of the wind away from my chest. I eventually backpainted it black. Couple that with a good aerodynamic lid, and I'm doing pretty good right now.

This is what it looked like before I backpainted it http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=802789&l=7af22685d5&id=565137977. Shows how well it disappears into the bike profile.

Looks or protection, hard to have both.  I chose looks.


I do miss that touring screen on the interstate, but not enough to go back.

Ditched the flyscreen when I convered to clip-ons...never looked back.

the square aluminum one is bigger...almost the same size/shape as the Dart screen


round one doesnt stick up much above the gauges....

Looks good psycledelic! I'm not a big fan of CF so I guess I'll have to find a pro-painter to make it ducati dark. An off-topic question, how did you paint your headlight dark, rattlecan work straight onto the chrome?

Pretty much.  I ruffed it up a little with some fine sandpaper.  I used Krylon flat black.  I put a couple of coats 24 hours apart.  That was over a year ago and it still looks good.
