Wingstar, nice looking bike you have. I have to ask though, does the small wind shield help. or is it mostly for looks. I have the same style, and have always wondered how much it helped with the wind in the face. |

Hi mate. Yes it definitely helps direct the wind up over my helmet. I've never tried the standard Honda screen but others who have say this windlip style is much more effective. |

Can you direct me to where I might get one? What brand is it? |

Sure, it's an Eagle Screen, made in Western Australia. http://www.eaglescreens.com.au/ Cost me around US$160 from memory. |

There are quite a few possibilites if you can't find one like that.Google around for universal wind shields. I have one on one of my CX,  I have it angled so it moves the air over my helmet and it keeps some of the wind and rain off my Torso without being too bulky. |

Thanks Wingstar. Shep, what brand is yours? That's more of what I really am looking for. I'm going to be riding it to work this winter also, and want the deflection also. It's just about the size I really want. Larry |
