I have just ordered one for my 400. Says it will fit headlights up to 20 cms diameter, available in various tints and colours.
They do other models too. Also quite a bit cheaper than Givi items.

That's the one I was looking at actually

fryerk:
I can recommend the Dart flyscreens. I've had one on my Bonneville for about 4 years and it really makes a difference despite the size. They fit really easily just on the headlight retaining bolts.

Chris400F:
I have now received and fitted the Puig screen. It seems to be designed to fit an 8" (20 cms) headlamp.
As noted earlier the description says it is suitable for headlights up to 20cms diameter, and it does come with various bolts and spacers to aid fitting.
The headlamp on the 400/4 is 7" but I couldn't use the spacers supplied as that would have meant using longer headlamp mounting bolts and on
the 400 they have the reflectors fitted on the end.
I ended up getting some spacers to fit between the screen mounts and screen, with longer bolts to suit, so the mounts could be fitted using the standard
headlamp mounting bolts. A bit more fiddling than I had hoped but all sorted in the end and looks fine.
With an 8" headlamp I think you should pretty much be able to bolt straight on.

Still wondering where Petersy got his headlamp fairing from with 7" headlamp hole.

petersy:
Petersy - where did you get yours from? It looks the part and is for a 7" headlamp.

Chris400F:
Thanks Peter.
That's the type I was looking for but didn't find what I wanted, hence going for the Puig (I had a GIVI on a CB-1 I used to own and liked the look of that).
I'll keep this in mind in case I decide to change.
