Got these new Eagle screens today. Vince and I got the same item each, fitted up in seconds. Well mine did after I ran some racing stripe tape around it. Not sure if I'll keep it on but at this pre-trial ride stage I'll leave it on.  |

hey Matty
What was the reason you bought the new screen? Is the screen higher than your original one or didn't you have one to start with?

Yeah had one already but this is about 5-8cm's taller than OEM and also dark tint compared to clear.
Hoping it will help with Freeway runs (not many) but also the semi touring coming up of Tourismo in S.A.

i personally don't like the shape of it; too tall for my liking - looks like it should be on a bmw. way too conservative and lacks "sexy italian" attitude
........but it is not my bike and if you like it, matty - than it is all that matters

Got the same one as well Matty, very happy, picked mine up about 2 days after I had the Bike. They look good and fit well, Not a big fan of the stripe, but to each his own as they say! Great! |

a tad too tall for my likings, but if it serves the purpose....
I suppose you can always swap it round for the OEM one when your not doing long freeway stints.
I guess it depends on if you think it looks better than the original one?
I'd be going for the original one but tinted for everyday use.

True all of that, but it was bought for a purpose. Tourismo........
3-4 days of riding covering a few thou k's so I think it's gonna do a great job.
As for the stripe, well like I said it's just a bit of look_c job. I thought it might define the screen edge rather than letting it just go.
We'll see when the riding happens this week.

You know the drill about beauty and the beholder. I use the 3 want’s "You listening Tool we know you still there" what you want when you want how you want, as long as it dosent encroach on others you cant go wrong Matty |

totally true, it's all in the eye of the beholder.
otherwise all our bikes would look the same, no two Monsters are alike.

I think it looks like a huge steaming pile of dog poopoo. Is Poopoo one word or two?   |
