Screen on or off?

Betty · May 22, 2013, 09:07:17 PM

My views have mostly already been expressed ... but before this thread gets off track I thought I'd add:

My Monster came stock with the bikini so it is hard to argue it is not part of the design/bike
Without support they wobble uncontrollably
The bikini can direct wind at you - like right at your head
No bikini exposes your bits and they stick out like the proverbial

Mine was removed for a short while to overcome an indicator related rotation, can't say I noticed any difference in wind buffeting ... but i don't travel at speeds where I am likely to notice.

I now sport the carbon shorty which is a reasonable compromise - low profile, covers the exposed bits (don't need them to drop) and indicators aren't obscured.

Hey all, with all this talk about ripping off the fairings (screens), does anyone have one laying around that they no longer need?
For a while now I've wanted to see if it's possible to modify an original screen to a lower height & still look good.
Just didn't want to hack away at mine, just in case it really doesn't work out...........

It'll still look awful.

For the record, it's off.

Each to their own of course, however, personally, I love the look of my fairing.

Aye. Some ride with heated grips, too.

Sabre Brian · June 04, 2013, 10:37:26 PM

Heated grips?

?? Really?

No I am not quite that precious mate. LOL

i liked mine on the bike, but it's all personal preference, at least the monster looks good both ways

Wobbart is the guy to see re heated grips

Two dogs · June 05, 2013, 01:21:14 AM

Yes he has really soft warm hands according to Mishka

amazing considering what he does for a living ....... handling all that cold hard steel

Must be a good moisturiser they have in the factory bathroom

Do we really want to know about the sausage fitting?

braando · June 05, 2013, 04:07:03 AM

Yes, it's most important

Better get some from Rob

I only have large & won't fit

Mishka · June 05, 2013, 04:35:41 PM

Robert is very gentle

, tho he did set my monster alight with this wee blow torch

.
The cook delivers great coffee to the man cave

.
He also has two off every tool/aid you can dream off

.
Its an experience not to be missed, a must for any bucket list
