Fly Screen or Bikini Fairings
I am trying to figure out where to go with my bike. I am wanting something to help with the wind at higher speeds but not go with a full windshield (which I have and picked up REALLY cheap). I am just needing some suggestions from those who have come before me :-)
I have looked at the following:
Dart Flyscreen:

National Cycle Flyscreen:

Cheepo Bikini Fairing off of ebay (only an example):

The cafe fairing looks much better, no experience with one to know if it helps block some wind though.
I have something similar to a flyscreen on my other bike and it does help quite a bit with taking some pressure off my chest, not crazy about the look, it isn't bad but prefer the look without it better. I keep it on anyway because it helps keep my from feeling like I am gonna fly off the bike at high speeds

The dart one you cannot. It's set as is. Honestly it is probably about where I would set it anyway. I didn't like the look of the giant metal bar on the national cycle one.

Have tried several
We have the dart fitted to my girlfriend's Iron, didn't notice too much difference to be honest.
But that was with stock bars and mid controls.
On my bike I have tried the Memphis Shades Gauntlet and am now running a Batwing.
The MS was good at taking the wind off the chest up to about 90 but I am pretty much fully protected now
SO there are options out there

I just had this delivered today from Revzilla and installed it this evening.

I'll take it for a test ride tomorrow and report.
Update 9/7/2017: The windshield worked great. I didn't feel like a parachute hanging on for life. No wind beating against my chest.
The windshield itself is easy to install and blends nicely with the bike.

While thats what I am aiming for I don't think I like the look too much.
I am glad it worked out for you though!! :-)
