While riding my 05 S3 today I noticed that anything over 85 mph and I am kissing the inside of helmet. I would like buy a the Triumph fly screen but would like to get some feedback before shelling out $260.00. Does it keep the wind off you or is it just for show? Any info would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Actually, it creates a decent bubble. Not full fairing, by any means, but it does lift the air up and over. You can definately fell when your "in" and "out"...

The screen does make a little difference. I am quite comfortable at 100 mph at 128 the neck is begining to think it wants to leave the head. I am 5' 6" so not that tall I guess a taller body would feel the pain.
