My brackets came in to the harley place today so I went and got them and put my blast windscreen on i got on ebay for $20. Took about 15 mins, woulda taken less but I forgot about the 2 screws in the bucket to take out and took off one extra bracket. All in all I think it looks good and will hopefully push some of the air up around my aerodynamic helmet, instead into my flat, wide chest. Total cost about $50 - $20 screen, $24 brackets, and whatever shipping was (can't remember).

Thanks to http://johnla2.tripod.com/windscreen.html for what to take apart on the headlight assembly.
Wow, color matching even :thumb: How far off are the yellows?
I can't really tell a difference, but my wife says they look diff (one canary and one banana)....i dunno
It's good enough for me, so I guess americans and japanese are pretty close on their definition of yellow. The windscreen has a bit more gloss to it since it's new, maybe that's where she see's the diff. Weird thing is that the headlight shape doesn't exactly match so i guess a 7" circle is diff depending on which side of the world you are on :laugh:
very nice man, looks almost factory. Be sure to let us know if it makes a difference with the aerodynamics.

wow - that looks great, it fits perfectly, nice work.
I have one of those. Just picked it up. it has no mounting brackets with it though. and mines carbon fiber. when I get it on my bike I'll post up pics.
The bracket part #'s are listed on that link at the bottom of my first post. $11.95 each through a Buell dealer. None of the ones anywhere near here had them in stock so I had to wait abouta week for them to come in. I wouldn't order the bolts, bicked up a bag with washers for $.98 at the home depot, and when I get the time, I am going to rattle can the bolts to match
What are the chances of you taking pics of those brackets? I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
trade ya for a set of case stickers j/k I'll get some pics (on the bike) as soon as I have a chance during daylight, might be a couple of days because of my work schedule
I thought about trying to make them, but my lack of materials (and talent) said to just suck it up and order them. With proper metal bending equipment they would be easy though. I'll get the pics up as soon as I can
Have you gotten to try this out yet? Did it make any difference with the wind?
-M
Haven't had a chance yet. Temp hasn't been above 32 and with snow/ice on the ground since I've done it. Will update as soon as I can bear to ride
Looks great. That little concave (convex?) portion to me is just begging for something to fill it in on the gauge side; a clock? A drink holder?

Girly picture?
If there was a mod of the month winner - YOU WIN ! Maximum bling for minimun ka-ching baby ! MOD ON MAN .
Hey, that Blast! wind screen looks great! Looks like it would protect about as well as my 2001 SV650 FlyScreen. It's great for riding above 60°F. If you're riding in cold weather, you may find that the pocket of protection isn't big enough. However, I find looks sometimes wins over function. :)
Well I got to ride her to work and back a couple of days ago and I can feel a difference, but it doesn't push the wind all of the way up to my helmet as I would like it to. It gets it up to the top of my shoulders, and would robably work better for the shorter riders around here, with me being about 6'1. Only got up to about 60mph, but all in all I'm happy with it
The brackets and fasteners are the same for the M2 cyclone and the S1 lightning screens. Once you can get the parts from your local Buell dealer (all of the ones in my area have parts counters staffed by mouth-breathers, it took well over a month to get them in after 3 screwed-up orders) the install takes all of 5 minutes.
I have the S1 screen on my bike, and it's not quite a perfect fit to the headlight. Other than that it looks and fits great. It does make a noticeable difference in wind blast from stock, but it's still not as good as having a full screen up front. Makes riding at 80 more comfortable, though.

sorry these took so long...and for the quality. This was the first chance I had to take any pics in the daylight and they didn't turn out very well, but hopefully you can see the bends and the size
