Looks better, but still looks like an R was decapitated. It might look better with an S tail. Still original and cool. I like the Army theme. The proportions aren't fitting well. The tail looks too large and long now. |

Tim, How about chopping up a windshield some and add a small piece. It may look cool if shaped right. Just a thought. But you have achieved unique. |

A chopped, black windshield would look pretty awesome! That's what it needs! |

I'm more for the Black shield. It gives contrast. But then again Tim you may like it just the way it is and thats what counts. |

I happen to have one of the factory black screens if you want it Tim. |

Take a screen... trim it to the shape you prefer... make sure you like it... and chrome it. |

even if i tried to cut down a stock screen for it, it would be just an odd shaped piece jutting out of the middle of the screen and would only be maybe 4-5 inches wide at the top and tapering in near the bottom where it has the two bolts that hold it. i dont know. its kind of fun having it on. i guess i'll just ride it for awhile. |

maybe, if i could figure out exactly how id keep it on. not sure the two center bolts would hold it without it breaking. guess i'll have to check things over a little bit. |

That's it, looks awesome! Just drill and tap new holes if there is room for the windscreen in there. |

You'd need at least 3 bolts to hold it solidly in place. So, you want "dibs" on that screen Tim? |

Looks like Paul Stanley Looks good but like it is missing something, a small windshield or lip... |

Smells like teen spirit, er I mean BUELL. I agree with the short plexi windscreen to smooth-off the top. Go for it! (Message edited by kedo on April 27, 2007) |

we will see. i have a scratched up amber one i could practice on. i am just not sure it will work the way it would need to. the front of the fairing mount is not straight across, or even a decent curve. its kind of wavy. |

Careful application of heat will cure all plastic shaping problems. |

I like it too....but I think that Dana is onto something with the small black shield. I would give it a try.
