You may wish to rephrase that in case any US members get the wrong idea mate!

Has anyone had any luck with this query since the last post? I have a home made screen, but it looks rough to be honest. I'm considering a National Cycle screen which they say will fit, but I'm not too sure it will be very good, being a general purpose job intended for road bikes.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I did what boxer did and made my own, it does look quite 'bolted on' though. You can get an idea of it at:

www.scotlandnepal.blogspot.com

I made mine out of 4mm Lexan polycarbonate though which the lass in the plastics shop said would'nt crack. I think its the same stuff they make nalgene bottles and aeroplane cockpits out of. About £10 for a piece big enough to cut bits off to practice on.

I looked at Jimmy46's bike and it looks like a Givi 601 screen.So that's what I bought - £49 from Buster's with post.It's well made and a good shape at bottom to fit round my headlamp (2003 model XT600E) I get alot of buffeting noise (esp with open face helmet) but can ride at 70 mph with my hands just loose on the bars, ie no wind loading. The buffeting would be gone if the screen were around 4" higher (checked by holding my gloved hand at top of screen when riding). I am 1.77 m tall.I had to cut down the support bars by 50mm as the screen was standing too far forward on the bike, leaving a big wind gap.
