Bike Quip

 . I have just fitted my new screen and can not wait to test it out for a few hours.  I would also like to thank Glen for all of the work he put in to this venture.

Picked up my screen from Shiney and Carol today. Fitted it as soon as I got home from work but I'm away for the next 2 weekends so will be a while before I get a nice long test ride.    A huge "Thank You" to Glen for instigating this purchase.

Went for a quick ride and the difference is really noticeable at 60k.   Can't wait for the weekend to see how it goes at highway speed.

Looking forward to fitting & testing my screen out on Candy .  Thanks to Glen for organising & Richo fir SA delivery.

Picked up and fitted my new tinted screen at Glen's today and though only a quick run down the freeway home noticed much less wind turbulence from over the top and much better coverage from the sides, and love the look of the smokey grey tint on my black ST, plus as an added bonus i got to ride in Glen' side car attatched to his Gold Wing . Many thanks to Glen for all his time in arranging everything.                                                                  

Cheers  Chris

Thanks to Glen for organising and Richo for the local SA delivering.

Hoping to get mine around the 25th as Richo and I hope to meet at Clare if the stars align.

DBfive stopped by today to collect his screen

So we installed it



Then he strapped down the old one



And after a chat and a coffee he headed back home

Let me add my thanks to Glen, Richo and anyone else who was involved in the purchase and dissemination of the windshields. These things are brilliant. I fitted the windshield Wednesday night and rode to Victor Harbor Thursday morning and back Friday arvo. The effect of the windshield was immediately evident - less wind noise and less buffeting at higher speed. The critical test will be with Julie (SWMBO) on the back as she reckons she had a more comfortable ride on the Shadow VT750 with less wind buffeting. Still waiting for the fog to lift (11:06am??) here in the Adelaide Hills so might have to wait for another weekend.
Thanks again to all.
Regards ... Mark

Thanks Shiney for letting me into your man cave and helping (well mostly) fitting the screen.  As others have said the difference is quite marked.  Being a couple of centimetres wider, mine is same height as original, the airflow around the rider is pushed out and the lip pushes flow up and over.  There's some flow around the head when the screen is fully down and raising it about halfway puts most up and over.  I learned all this on my 350km ride home on the M1/Bruce Highway.  I've yet to wind it right up, probably have to wait for rain!

Thanks Glen for organising, shipping and liaising with Keith, great job.  Thanks Shiney for becoming Bright Shiney Depot and thanks Carrol for the coffee , I needed it.

PS new screens collect lots of bugs just like old ones!!

Went for a bit of a ride in varying road types from twisties to freeway, country and towns, visor down & up. Reduced wind noise & buffeting at all speeds, so quite happy with the screen. The Honda V4 decals are a great little edition (see my pic post on the website revamp thread.)

Here's a shot of Candy all done up.

As posted here http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=12039.msg1221891#msg1221891 I collected the new screen yesterday from Richo and I thanked him and Donna (his wife) for meeting us half way between home and Adelaide.

I fitted the screen this afternoon and it's nice to see this view

looks good.  Did the headlight protector look as good

I haven't done that yet -  have to clean the headlight glass and as yet I've only glanced at the instructions while getting the screen out.
