It is under Windscreens
Then Fabbri naked bike screens. (FS3000)

Any comments?

this one?

Looks pretty similar to the national cycle f16 screen available from JCWhitney.com (shown in my avatar), but about 20 bucks more.  Not sure if quality is an issue here or not, but I've been happy the the NC windscreen.

peace

p.s.

one thing I do like better about the FS3000 is that the mounting brackets look less obtrusive and a little more 'stock' than the f16's hardware.  Of course, its shown on a Duc... so who knows how well the hardware will actually work.

How pleased are you with the F16?

I'm happy with it... ash will chime in soon about how much he hates them  :roll:

If you're looking for the best wind protection for the $$$, you can do better than either of those two.  I find that what the f16 really helps with is keeping the wind off my jacket zipper on nippy days.  also, i tend to slide my but back and duck behind it on the highway for semi-passing, etc.. it helps a bit.  i wanted a balance between function and good looks.. i feel like i got it with the f16.

I installed the Fabbri windscreen about a year ago.  Works great and installed in less than 15 minutes.  Certainly not the best wind protection out there, but get's it off your chest.  Also a lot less lift on my helmet after installing screen.  And if you ask me, I think it looks great on the GS.
