How affective is this screen

[Broadside]

Hi chaps I have one of these fly screens and have been tempted to remove it , as it was on when I bought the bike I don't know how effective it is , so is it worth having ? Cheers

Totally worth having. It makes a diference to me! Takes the load off your chest. Especially useful if your covering some distance on the expressway.

I guess it all depends on who you talk to. Myself I have a 52" chest and without the Summer Screen I get punched from the wind at high speed. I bought the Summer Screen from a fellow Racketeer for around $150.00 It made a big difference for me.

I used a flyscreen for ages. Pulled it off recently for funsies and it doesn't bother me being gone. I don't really notice the difference until about 130.

Below 100 it feels mostly the same.

Thanks for your opinions , with my fly screen and t bars it's a ball ache trying to put the key in the ignition ! With no screen I would have a fighting chance of turning it on !

Good idea, remove it and sell it to me as I just scratched my red stripe flyscreen

You can get a custom pair of stainless steel polished or powdercoated black flyscreen brackets that tilt the screen about 1" forward and makes key access easier. Available from Dave Gill at Rocke's Patches in UK and Toyota6510 on eBay. He is a UK R3 nut who has multiple Face Book R3 websites.

He also has an XL version of the R3 fly that I have fitted now as does @1olbull and it is much more effective as a long distance screen.

Or you can buy an @DEcosse keyless system. Many people here have and love them.

It is a labour saving device - Cleaning wise. Keeps pounds of dead bugs and other wet crud off the clocks and importantly the ignition switch.

Was going to mention that but you beat me to it. Rode with the fly screen off a few times adjusting the Headlights. Did notice a difference with it off. Even at regular highway speeds noticed a difference. Maybe not as well as a regular windshield but it does offer a buffer or sort. I like it. Not only fit form and function but it looks good.
