Good Price for comfort ?

[Wrecka]

So now im committed to RDU and riding some decent Klms over 2 weeks in Oct im using it as an excuse to do some upgrades on the bike , just wondering what you folks think of these prices as i heard others murmuring about aforementioned upgrades , let me just say yes i feel im at an age where these are needed , im 47 going on 60

Full price converted to AU including shipping is $780

You're not going to gain any comfort from the flyscreen. It doesn't do anything but look good. I know I have one on my Roadster. lol
I would get the dresser bars and then take the money you'll save on the fly and buy some foot rests for the bars. That way you can stretch out some on long rides. Or buy all of it. lol

Agree with Mully...they should call it a no fly screen cuz it sure don't block much in the way of flies or bugs. If you are looking for a better wind block get the summer screen or taller. I have the fly screen on my roadster that I swap out to a summer screen for long trips and slip the fly screen back on when I get where I'm going...or not

So not even a bit of wind off your torso ? My longhorn highway pegs arrived Monday so all good there mate , gee cant justify spending good $ just for looks though on that screen

If it does block any wind I sure can't tell. One good use for it however is when I'm going over 100 MPH I can lay my head (with helmet of course) down on the tank and the fly diverts the wind over my helmet.

Yes mate it does take a bit of the wind pressure of your Chest, I use mine in Summer

Thats all im after mate, to reduce the wind pressure which translates to stress through the arms and across the back

I hear ya. Just don't get your hopes up on the fly blocking any wind. I get the stressed arms from wind pressure so I know what you're talking about.

Spot on I'm about to hit 57 and while I have solid frame 30 years of baking worn out the shoulders and elbows just that little bit makes a difference, I can tell the difference and besides once you get the fitting kit you can also get a larger screen later, as matter of interest how tall are you
