Thank you George. I now have to decide whether it's a full fairing (like the first two pics) or without like Capitano's pic. And I thought C90 ownership would be easy! I'll have a think. Very much appreciated. Lewis
You could have a £10 gamble and fit a simple one like mine to gauge whether you actually want a screen or not.

If it pleases you, buy a Rickman. If i doesn't, bin it and it's only £10 lost. 8-)

I think you're right. I do know I want a screen though the only one I see of yours (universal) for sale is nearly £40. I'll keep looking for the next week or two and then if no luck I'll bite the bullet and get it.

Cheers Capitano - much appreciated.

The one I bought is still on there. Looks to be the same thing. 8-)

It took less than a week to arrive.

I'm sure that Mr Bogger will buy it from you if you don't like it. :lol:

Now that is flexible! I can see why it might bend a bit in the wind though I'm sure I can think of a way of stiffening it up. Excellent. Thank you both - my order's in (the one in Liverpool). I'm not sure why I couldn't find them on ebay - clearly haven't got the knack. Cheers.

I'm still getting the hang of this eBay thingy, went back to my purchases, not available. Clicked your link, told me I had already bought one.

Will have to see how mine does on the Kayak, or maybe the Riders. :lol:

I have one on my GS500F behind the standard screen ,the highest holes are held to the top of the standard screen and the lowers to the plastic fairing . it has a lot of curvature on it so I will see how it goes.I paid £7.76 for mine. :D

Since when has the Isle of Wight become a tax haven? I may have to move my investments! :lol:

Seriously now, I took my Cub out this morning in some high winds (the wind turbines were spinning like the wheel of fortune) and gave ait a god whizz around to test out the £10 flexi screen.

Bear in mind the fact that I don't particularly like screens at all.

It's great! It doesn't affect the handling one jot, it keeps a shedload of wind off my body core, it isn't noisy; plus now it's got some serious curvature it only flexes a bit up the top.

It's staying on for Winter at least. A proper bargain! 8-)

Excellent - I went out this morning and froze! Looking forward to getting my screen and bolting it on.
