Malcoops, that sounds like a perfect formula! In fact, I'll twist the top off another one right now.
Welcome aboard, and Cheers!

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.

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.
