    Hi Andrew and welcome to the forum :cool:
    If this is your first post I would consider introducing yourself in the Newbies section and asking your question there as this is an older thread and might not get much attention.

    Each to their own I guess. not sure that's a style match unless I'm looking at the wrong screen it's more fitting for the Tiger.

    Dart make good screens. I have the classic, and have ridden Scotland twice and Wales once on my '22 Speedy.

    Thanks More, I did look at the dart but it looked too low to block wind, but will have a look again!

    I'm 6 2 and i find it keeps it off the chest. But there is a larger one. The Marlin, I have the Classic.



    I just dont like the buffeting from larger screens.

    Other people may have different experiences. However if your priority is full weather cover I may suggest you bought the wrong vehicle. :D

    The fitting on the Speedmaster is better than the T120 as it's on independent fork mounts with elastomer bushing.

    I have used it for motorway riding for several hours, up and down the UK, one run at 700 miles Highlands to the South. Cruising at 70mph (by the GPS) is no problem at all. In torrential rain the water problems I have are in boot leaks, and soggy cuffs and at some point the trousers always give out on the water that pools at the back of the tank resulting in a soggy bottom. I do wear a flip up - full face lid for motorways though, keeping the P-Pot for sunny scratches.

    Though as Stuart says, it's similar to the OEM shield

    Now I am thinking of getting another fairing for next season but mostly for styling. No plans for going the full bat wing screen but who knows how the inspiration will strike me over the winter. To get the best from a batwing I would need to narrow the beach bars and I'm not up for that.

    I have the Madstad windshield on my 18 speedmaster. I like it, simple but well thought out design for mounting. Easy adjust to reduce any helmet buffet. I ride with it all the time but I am old now. Also Madstad is a great company to deal with, they go the extra mile if any problems.
