So I went to my dealer early this morning to 'try' something out:
- The Speed Triple Fly Screen
OK - these are pictures of the MATT screen held in place!

Fact is, I sort-of liked it and so have ordered the gloss black!
What's your thoughts - Good or Bad?

Ps - it needs fixing on cos that tech dude is going to get awful tired running along side -- just a thought

Actually - I think it might look a bit sexy when I get my custom paint job done... I'll include the scheme onto the Fly screen!

agree
as for the cowl, it has a menacing look to it, does seem to fit with the twins, gives the "eyes" a cap. like your lateral thinking on that one
am interested how it performs, particularly due to the angular cut, whether it bisects and displaces the air to the side and up. as a result will it minimise helmet buffetting. certainly is more aerodynamically looking than the usual cruiser screen

As for the look, it seems a bit angular for the more sleek look of the bird, but once color matched I'm sure it will settle into the overall look.

No! 
I was so over come with the 'gritty/ agressive' look I just simple said - "Yup - orderit - gloss black!"
It was only when I got home I thought logically... And wondered to myself the more important things such as functionality and usefulness!
D'ooh!
Oh well - it's not a big job to fit this screen - they bolt into the cable retainers on the underside of the top yoke! Easy.
I'd like to think I can put some nice Marshall gauges behind it - Water Temp. , Volt Meter and maybe an Oil Pressure/temp
But that's once I've got the screen fitted.
Regarding the fitting of the lamps - I think I answered this in another thread?!
Let me know if you still have questions.
