Which flyscreen

(1/6) > >>

Ashdowner:
I'd like to have a flyscreen to take the drag off my body on a long run. I read the reviews and the universal ones all seem to have some problem or other when adapting them to a particular bike. Can anyone recommend a screen that they've successfully fitted to their CB550K3 with it's 8" headlight housing? I'm looking for one of a similar size to a GIVI A210 which is about 350mm x 350mm.

I seem to recall that Honda used to advise NOT to fit any kind of handlebar mounted fairing or screen to the SOHC fours.:$

Ashdowner:
Had one on a previous K3 nearly 30 years ago and it was great so don't understand why Honda would say that.

petersy:
I put one on my CB500 in 1974 - it looked great with a large alloy tank and straight handlebars.

I also put one on my CB550 this year.  The brackets were easy to make out of aluminium strip connected to the headlamp bolts and mirror fixings. These are for 7" headlamps though.

hairygit:
Possibly if they were badly fitted they could cause stability issues at speed, it was generally mentioned in the owners handbooks.
