Morning all,
I'm slowly working towards organising a new touring screen for my ST11, I'll probably get it made by Screens For Bikes, since they're relatively local, and have offered a very competitive price compared to the other two major Aussie manufacturers. I'm hoping to try AliSTairs screen on for size in the near future, anticipating that will settle my mind on what height I need, but then we come to the optional extras... Which is where I wouldn't mind some experienced opinions...
I'm pretty certain I'll end up getting the flared sides, just seems logical, especially if there will be a bit of 2up touring, would love to hear experience of the difference they make though.
The other option, cat-eyes... There was obviously a purpose behind them, since I don't think Mr Honda ever did anything without a purpose, but how big of a difference do they make in the real world? Originally I hadn't considered them, because a) it rains a lot in Vic, so I like the idea of a solid shield, and b) I'm tight! But then... I was thinking about Christmas the other night and am toying with the idea of visiting my brother, which means riding up to Noosa, which got me thinking about airflow...
So, in short, cat-eyes? Flares? Both? Neither? Waddaya reckon?
Cheers!
