I think the screen is for pre-01s...

I don't think I've seen the one on Pandy's '92...

The Givi one is pretty pricey...  I guess I could look for a used one, but it's not quite what I want either...  Too bad I don't really know what I want.  

And yeah...  I'm guessing the old-style cafe one look goofy.

I saw the monster screen on Pablo's site - is it very effective?

It just moves the air up a little more...  Less on your chest.  That's pretty much why I want one, to move the rain and freezing air a little higher up...  Give me more of a fighting chance.  

It does look good

now if I could only decide on what bike to buy :lol:

Get a Nekid GS500

+ a jillion

RVertigo what about the National Cycle F-16

Like we discussed earlier, Bluebellylint, this looks WAAAAY better than that thing!

:dunno:  I have a friend who's offered me a good deal on another 500 but I still don't know

Ducati also makes one like this for the Monster

I like it better than your first choice.

Yeah...  I liked the F-16 until I saw it in person...  Now, not so much.
I like the one I found better than the '01+ monster one...

I kinda like the Targa one too...  


But, like the Monster and the Givi...  It's expensive.    $250-$350 is more than I want to spend...  Which is what's cool about the F-16...  Only $80 or something.

yeah the F-16 is actually only $60 and I have always liked the look, but have never seen it in person. :dunno:
your choice though

They have an F-16 and the other one... F-18?  down at Ducati Seattle.  The whole thing is plastic, including the mounts.  I'd hate to spend $60 (or $80) on something only to crack it when I put it on.

I just looks kinda flimsy, you know?   :dunno:

yeah, I guess you usually get what you pay for

Get a faired GS500.  Do you really want to run around nekkid in a Midwestern winter?  

The only prob w/ the faired (fairinged? lol) ones are price and I haven't found any GS's for sale local to me. I did find two of the other brand's 500 for $3000 obo - a 98 w/ 3800 miles and an 05 w/ 17oo miles for the same price. I really wanted to wait til after the winter but bikes are cheap this time of year

The bikini screens look neat but do little.  I've ordered Givi's for both my GS and my Monster.  Was quite happy at the fit and function.  Now i have a Givi Airstream on my monster.  Bigger than a bikini but on cold days or at speed; i can tuck myself in on the bike and ride with minimal turbulence.
