Looks very well made. Makes the price tag a little easier to take. Fits the style of the bike perfectly in my opinion too. And who else besides Del would check the height with a caliper ? This is exactly why I have such mad respect for the work you do. Many thanks and blessings to you and Penny. ❤👍👍
Ha ha.. am i getting a bit OCD in my old age... you know how it is, you're riding up the road and if the screen is even 1mm off, you'll see it, and it'll bother you more and more and eventually ruin your day... or is that just me..lol! Take care buddy, and have a wonderful day.. D&Pxx
LOL It's so not just you. Ask me how i know that. 😁🤣😂😄 @@Moonfleet41
Tasteful little addition! Seldom do screens make an improvement on non-sportbikes, but there are exceptions to the rule. This blends in nicely, almost disappearing in the lines from some angles, yet looking "right" when viewing it from others. Hopefully it works as good as it looks! And ya, quality of it's construction does come across, simply seeing it.
You're dead right, thankfully it looks right, fits in with the lines of the bike (how vain is that lol) and great quality.. almost like it was a genuine Harley part.. Take care buddy, and thank you for your support as awlays.. D&Px
Every bike I own always have windshields, I simply can’t ride long distances without them. Yes, they are expensive but worthy. I use slipstream sporty shields. They are nice. You made pretty simple installation. Wish I had the fork hardware like it. Sure look sporty on your bike.
I agree, the hardware is amazing, way better than i expected, and easily as good as factory kit... I guess with the weather we get here, ill never really be able to ride in a shirt and shades..save maybe one week a year..lol... So why not get a good quality screen !
Many thanks for posting this vid Del, My lovely wife bought me exactly the same screen for my Speed Twin for Christmas. I have`nt put it on yet, but i think the mountings are different. Anyway, not having a spacious warm workshop, i`l have to fit it while the bike is out on the drive. It looks pretty straight forward though.
Great comparison Neil, it's good to hear they;re so widely popular. The instructions make it dead easy to fit, and shouldn;t take you more then half hour.. Have fun with it mate..
How did it work for you? Did it break the wind? Less resistance/fatigue?
Snug with some movement, you can raise it when you do the long section of the ride and then lower it when low-speed/parked up.
Totally off topic here, what's with the little "grabby" action as you're picking up the different pieces of hardware? The hand comes into frame slower and then there is a definite action you do when picking up the bolts etc. Not sure if it's a you thing or a conscious choice for the video. Just something I noticed on this video that I hadn't noticed before.
Melly has the same style Dart Flyscreen on her 2007 Triumph Speedmaster. It's very nice and has held up great over the years. Good bit of kit there. We'll probably get the universal Dart Screen for Barney the Honda Rebel 250. Take care, Cheers!
Mike & Melly
Good shout buddy.. i guess great minds think alike, and if it's good enough to protect our Moto Melly.. then it's good enough for me. i think maybe we'll get one for Penny Pitstop too aye..! Take care both of you and stay safe.. D&Px
The windscreen is looking good, but my comment is here to take a moment to point out the catlike SPEED of some of those stealthy grabs... Those rubber grommets never even knew what got 'em! Delboy's Garage? More like Cobra's Carport!
Ha ha...can you tell i had siblings and had to be quick to sneak the last Garibaldi ! Take care buddy, and have a great week.. D&Pxx
I had some hd fat chisel bars fitted in my street Bob I was surprised at how narrow they were in comparison to with the standard bars which turn you into a sail at anything over 65 because they are so wide . I would say this fairing is a good option and certainly looks to give a good amount of wind protection , certainly cheaper than a bar swap and looks cool
Thanks Andrew, and i agree, i absolutly Love the bars, they give me the exact ride position i wanted, so changing them wasn't an option..
@@Moonfleet41 I’ve got a 114 Fatbob at the moment but I’m seriously thinking about going back to a street Bob as they are by far the best bike in Harley’s current line up in my opinion
@@andrewjohnson6297 I agree, 10Kg lighter and lower to the ground.. better riding position too, (but then thats subjective of course).!
Very nice little add on, well for that price it definitely looks in keeping with the bike, looks great and a great purchase
Thanks Andy.. did gulp a bit at the price... but reasuring when you get the box open and see how well made it is, certainly at least as good as if Harley made it !
I see the aftermarket fairing manufacturers have greatly improved the installation brackets and hardware. At one time you got the fairing and it was up to you to figure out how to mount it and then make brackets to suit.
My word, you're going back a while there mate.. but you're right.. and maybe it's a sign of now much society has changed, people need "plug - and - play" these days, simplicity and easy install.. but then todays generations arent as recourceful as we used to be aye.. "Hard people make easy times" etc....!
The whole kit looked top quality Del & I dont think it's that expensive. I paid more for my FreedomShields screen plus shipping from the States & although Im really happy with it and again great quality, I would have preferred to buy British. Im sure that will make a hell of a difference on your longer trips especially in the cooler weather.
Yeah, i, hoping so, after maybe a couple of hours it's ok, but by the time ive been plugging pon for four hours or more, it really starts to drag you back.. may have to adjust the height, but that's an alun key in the pocket and can d o it on the fly... Cheers mate, always appreciate your support.
Very keen to hear your thoughts once you’ve ridden with it. I’ve been looking at one of these for mine for about a year now.
Looks good, mister. I've been looking at that same one for a couple years. You made it look good and sealed the deal, thanks.
Go for it mate, you won't be disappointed!
Looks great and as you say a good piece of kit.
Will look into one for my softail slim which has wide bars and I’m sure if I rode it fast and long enough would be equivalent to a gym membership 😂
Ha ha.. certainly a work out... and FWIW..i hear the STS lends itslef well to a Roadking screen, pretty much the same front end.. that is as long as you like the look of course..!
Good to see I am not the only one that types itslef on occasion. There are a couple of other words I regularly type wrong but I cant rememeber what they are. @@Moonfleet41
Looks good. I'm, like you, and don't really like the look of a windshield on my bike, so I went with the Memphis Shades Del Rey. With their quick release hardware, I can take it off or put it on in seconds and it stays off unless I'm planning on laying down some miles.
Good choice for a best of both worlds. As the Street Bob is so stripped back, i wanted the least obtrusive possible.. The Del Rey is almost like a slightly larger version of this one, so if this isn't effective, i guess that's a great second option.. Thanks for the headsup.!
As you say: Good quality rarely comes cheap. Enjoy your first highway ride with the new flyscreen. Günter/Nürnberg
Thank you buddy.. im looking forward ot getting out on it.
@@Moonfleet41 Only a few weeks, then winter with all its salt and grime is gone!
@@enduromotorradtouren Never prayed for rain so much..lol!
I like it. It really does add to your bike. I had to research to make sure it was polycarbonate. I have seen what damage flying objects can do to non-polycarbonate windscreens. Ride safe, right often.
Thanks mate.. great mantra.. ride often.. i like that !
definitely functional. Slightly unfortunate, for me at least, that the windscreen has a logo on it. Wouldn't be to my liking unless they have an option without. Sort of makes the bike seem like a "Dart" :)
Can easily remove it, it's just a tiny plastic sticker, heat it and peel it off.!
Looks great but would like to see matte black fastener heads and washers.
Looks Great. I bought the Harley Davidson 14" quick release and the wind buffeting is shocking. How is this one in that regard?
Certainly does look like good quality fittings & great camera work PP! 👏🏻
Thanks buddy! 👍 Hope you're all keeping well.
Nice! Let us know how good it is killing the wind. Maybe in a POV riding video? Cheers.
Good Idea.. Stay tuned.. coming soon..!
Nice install, just a little interference like that and a huge portion of wind fatigue is avoided. When going cross country Canada, I see the odd rider with no wind protection other than clothes and I wonder how they feel on a long ride. Without screen I would do 400-450 miles (about 700k) tops, with, I often tackle a 1400k (16 hours) Mind you to each their own I suppose, cheers!
That was my motivation.. i don't do epic rides like you, but often i make a 4 hour ride to a party. and back the same night.. so that can get shredding when you want to pick up the pace and just cover miles..!
Hey up. A unrelated question do you have any vids on removing dents from a tank ? I can't see owt. I've tried a couple of bad ideas with no results. Big magnet, trying to use a bit of bent steel rod in the tank and the worst one of all inserting a inner tube and inflating it. This did not go well the tube popped at 30psi and sprayed the residue petrol out the tank into my eyes. I won't be trying that again lol. Cheers keep up the vids I use them regularly when working on my bikes.
Hi mate, there are no magic wands for tank dent removal, if you can't get a suitable lever in through the neck behind the dent to massage it out, and of course as long as it's not too big, you're best just filling it and re-painting it... you could try your local paintless dent removal company, other than that it's traditional body work techniques... best of luck with it!
@Moonfleet41 cheers I will try getting something else in to try pushing it out. A previous owner had filled over it but it wasn't the best job and the filler was cracked and coming away. Cheers.
That looks the part pal,you will find some differents now going up the road
Thanks Jerry, hope so, especially on the long runs!
Great choice Del, looks an excellent piece of kit and that should keep the wind off you mate. I would hate to think what the price would be if it was in an HD box. Penny and you enjoy the last part of your week and stay safe. Cheers
You have a good point there, i didnlt actually consider that.. id imagine maybe double the price at best... but i think it'd still be good value given the quality... Take care and stay safe both of you too.. D&Pxx
I have a dart screen on my Triumph Speed Twin and it looks good and is surprisingly effective. As you said, on a long trip at speed, you have to have something to cut the wind.
Too right John.. and glad to hear that you find it effective.
Nice love it I paid 80 for a zzr1100 screen there well worth money mate good quality
That screen looks good and the fitting for it look very good. Hope to hear u opin on how it performs soon
I hope so too, ill check back in after a few hundred miles..
Delboy, will you give us a bike tour of what you have at this point? :-)
Looks great!
I would have covered the front fender but I have fumble fingers 😅
Ha ha, me too at times, and you're right, one slip can make an indelible scratch.. "Must Try Harder:..lol.
Indeed a very high level kit, including easy height control. The factory also invested in a gift box. First class engineering.
Thanks for sharing, your videos are first class quality as well.
Well said, and i was almost going ot make mention of the amazing gift box.. ive taken the time to store it away in the loft as i couldn't possibly throw it away.. can't think ill ever use it again, but it just feels right to keep it safe..lol! Thanks for your kind comments and support as always. D&Px
It looks good on your bike. Much better than one of those huge, gaudy windscreens.
Thanks mate...I think so too!
do you find it pushes the wind on to your helmet and makes for a noisey ride
No, not at all, no more than usual... takes a great deal of pressure off your chest though!
Does something that small make much difference in the amount of wind you get?
Sure does !
I had one on my Sportster - cracking bit of kit and worked a treat
Great Del and Penny, been looking for a screen for my 2009 Wide glide. Yes finally got a Harley😊
Congratulations mate, have fun and enjoy the miles.
Ok.. nice..now waiting on the review. It appears to be not wide enough. Maybe better suited to a 883 or 48.
I think Sportster or Big Twin, the wind is the same, it's not intended to hide behind and fully protect.. you'd need maybe a Batwing for that kind of protection..and i want to see the road ahead, not be hiding behind a door..lol This is just to smooth out the air flow, reduce a bit of the buffeting and reduce long ride fatigue... we shall see.!
@@Moonfleet41 I agree, I don't like hiding behind it. It does look like a quality product 👌
Very nice Del and it fits nicely with the look of the bike. I've just fitted a similar screen to my RE SM650 and I'm well happy. Can I ask, is that the bike from "A Sunny Ride round London !"? If it is can you tell me which slip-ons you have? They sound bloody great!
Hi mate.. Yes that's the same bike, had it since last summer, the pipes are V&H slip-ons with factory headers..
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks, are they Eliminator 300s?
@@Lectric_Blue That's the ones.
@@Moonfleet41 Thank you. They are finely tuned musical instruments!
Great video brother !!! Awesome addition to the bike 🤙 top quality and well worth it ! Bike looks bad ass 👍 keep up the great work and stay safe guys cheers from New York !!!
Hey Renzo, good to hear from you brother... and thank you, it's basic and uncluttered compared to other Harleys, but that's why i like it most.
Looks great, Del! I’ve been thinking of shrinking down the windshield on my Fatboy. That one looks like it might be the perfect fit. Do you know if they sell in the U.S.? Hope you both are doing well there!
🏍️👍🏍️
Hi Gary, i would imagine they do, the website says "Free Worldwide shipping... Heres a link.. dartflyscreens.com/ I can guarantee you'll be impressed with the quality too.! Stay well too buddy, and have a great week.
Looks good quality and went on well. Not sure if you would call that a BiKini Fairing, but it suits the bike nicely. Hope you find it works as well as it looks :)
Thanks Tony... i always thought the term 'Bikini Fairing' applied to a small nose cone and a small belly pan together.. two halves, like a Bikini lol!! So i guess if i fitted a small belly pan it would be..! Hope you're having a good week sir.. take care. D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 Lol its a term someone mentioned to me, a bike mechanic. Never knew about the belly pan though. Am 75 now and very soon may require a belly pan for myself PMSL. God Bless ya :)
@@tonygriffiths2485 ha ha.. spilt me tea now...lol!
Wow made in England! Nice one Del 😊
I was thinking (only thinking 😅) today about the Halloween mask on the bandit again today and how another batman mask would look like behind some skrim on my FJ😅
Go for it buddy, nothing in ratting can ever be wrong!
Hi Del, screen looks good mate, good compromise between form over function.
Thanks mate, I think so too, almost looks like the factory designed it to be there, some serious thought gone in to it!
Yep, that certainly looks the part, & here's to the next big, fat juicy bug NOT being able to jam your jacket's zip with the painful, gooey mess of it's hastily disarranged entrails . . . it's a bug's life, & I guess they've rather a lot on their mind at the time, . . . THWACK! . . . 'Oh, it's J-cloth time' : )xx
Class lyrical magic as always Sir!
Had one on my Dyna low rider. Makes a noticeable difference and looks great.70 will feel like 55-60
Thanks David.. ive yet to get it out on a fast road, so it's good to hear it works effectively.
Yeah nice pick up. Good looking bike that Del, nice one!
Thanks mate👍
Hi Penny and Del - great video. Though I have never owned a cruiser (with or without ape hangers) I do know how fatiguing the wind beating on your head and chest can be. Hopefully this helps. As for "Good ain't cheap and cheap ain't good," you said a mouthful! I can't remember who said it, but the quote goes something like, "The bitterness of low quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." Take care, dear friends. Be well and ride safe... it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
I think you're right, ive fitted small screens to countless bikes over the years, from the GSX 1400 to even my 350LC as a lad.. and they're always effective in some way. Love the quote, and such a profound way to put it. (and so true).. take care and keep well mate.. D&Pxx
Good choice Del, I have a Dart flyscreen fitted on my Interceptor and well pleased with it 👍
Thanks Rickard... 👍 Im glad yo hear it works for other bikes.. maybe we'll get one for Penny's Scrambler..!
@Moonfleet41
Sounds like a plan Del 👍
very nice wind screen....well built
My Hornet has a fly screen, without it at 120 mph my eyeballs shake. With the flyscreen i can do 150 mph and it's all good. In theory that is because i never go above the speed limit. So help me God :)
Your new screen suits nicely ..Cheers
Your videos are strangely like ASMR 😆
Nice looking little screen. If that doesn't work out you could always try a trusty Rickman fairing!!!!! A mate had one on his 250 superdream back in the day. Awful 😂😂
Ha ha yeah, imagine that... or maybe a nice Vetta Windjammer..!! Good to hear from you mate.. have a good week aye.. !
And you buddy.....
Good choice Del. I have one on my Moto Guzzi V9 and it looks great. Quality item.
Thanks Bob, glad to hear they're popular.
Did it make much difference on the Guzzi?
Yes a lot less buffeting as I have an open face helmet
is very beautiful, I didn't think so at first and gives a modern look
Thank you. I love a stripped back looking bike.. so any screen for me is a compromise, and this was the best i could find to blend in and still do the job..!
Why the rubber gloves?
I agree with this maxim of Thoreau. I am a great admirer of the life of Richard Proenneke.😊
Looks good
Nice one Del. 👍
Thanks John, Glad you enjoyed it!
Love that bike, sounds awesome 👍
Thanks buddy.
Excellent video as usual 😎
Thank you Robert..Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice. I have a Dart on my Judge, easy fit, quality
Thanks mate.. and Nice bike BTW..!
