Anyone have any opinions on the dart flyscreen windshield vs the national cycles one, or should i not even bother with such a small shield?

I found they relieve the wind pressure but give you some buffering as does any screen

And they look pretty cool, but I found it to be mostly useless. When I bought my bike it had one on it, and after I took it off a year or so later, I was amazed how smooth the ride was without it. Could have just been the way I had it set, I don't know, I never put it back on. Oh, and mine was a Triumph flyscreen.

Roadworthy you want to sell it?
How do they attach around the forks? If I don't have the fork covers on can I still put one on? If I have the fork covers off could I use a Bonneville one?

Anyone ever try to install the Star (Yamaha ) Boulevard screens to our bikes? They look cool, but I m not sure if they would fit on ( would the speedo be in the way ).

Sorry man, long gone. They clamp around the fork shrouds. At least the older model did, I don't know if they redesigned it for tapered shrouds or any of that.
