Way cool, Lou. After seeing your new screen from the front, suggest you rename your bike after the Material Girl, Madonna. [smiley=ROTFLMAO.gif]

Like that screen, Lou, it looks very nice on the R65.
The mounting arms & brackets are clean and look strong too.
What make is it?

Congrats!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Lou that's a mighty fine looking screen, but was it really cold out when you took those photos?

Hi Lou,

Is your right brake line getting kinked in the hose guide?  :-?

BTW - those are very robust mounts for your screen   8-)

Glad you guys like it, Just got back from the new year bash so sorry for the late response
NC Steve.... i think its a F Fassoni but ill check when i get to the workshop next week.
Bengt Phorqs.....If you look at the second photo you will see the compacted ice in the car park the roads are treacherous on 4 wheels let alone 2 we've been in the grip of ice and snow for over 2 weeks now and no sign of it getting better soon minus 7 tonight with heavy snow forecast for the rest of the week.
MultiplexMan...  There's a Label on the brake line there's no chaffing or problem there.
Scottyintex...Ill test it as soon has the roads are safe....July by the look of things.
Jds....I like it especially the quick fit system 13mm spanner and a 6mm Allen key the mount stays on the handlebars you just slide the chrome stays out.2 minute job.

Finally got out for a ride today....(going stir crazy) clear at home when i set off banging it down with rain just west of Leeds on the way to Squires.
Verdict...brill with my wife's added bonus of a speed limiter as you do get buffeting round the hat over 70 wonder if it will affect fuel consumption(not that im going green)
