    Flyscreen for GS1100

    Hi all!
    I'm currently looking for a flyscreen (not windscreen) in dark tint for the -82 GS1100.
    I'm thinking a max height of approx 14-16" above headlight.
    So far the best I've found is the National Cycle screen, but this has a b** ugly chrome strip across it (National).
    Does anybody else have a suggestion?

    Great ride to you all!

    This might be a little taller than what you're looking for, but this is what I put on my GS1000.

      Try the Spitfire from Slipstreamer. They say that it's only for 7" headlights, but you can make it work with the 8".

      Slipstreamer is a leading windscreen installation for powersports and police & military face shield supplier. Contact us for quick quotes.

        Thank you all

        Sandy: Saw your post while searching this issue. I love the GIVI screen, but is afraid it will come up to high. Maybe I can cut it down to size? I did this with another screen once, and it turned out alright.

        jpaul: Slipstreamer was the best option I could find at Dennis Kirk, definitely a contender.

        The Kaw Zephyr has a screen that looks very nice, maybe I can get it to fit? Will be problems with the headlight though.

        Still looking

          The Buel Cyclone blade looks cool and fits the criteria (cept it's solid colour)

            Again, might be taller than you are looking for, and not available in a dark tint, the National Cycle Deflector series.

              I currently have a Vetter Quicksilver fairing on the bike (GS850G), which I am getting ready to restore, but I previosly had a Spitfire in smoke which I really like and will use in place of my Quicksilver.
              The bottom line is the Spitfire helps a little when it comes to deflecting bugs and also taking the wind pressure off your head and chest while on the highway. Helps with helmet buffeting alot if you adjust the angle.

              See Basscliff's Jessie, he has his adjusted for max buffeting help.
