:2guns: I know this topic has been beaten to death about flyscreens, but I just can't frigg'n decide what I like the looks of better. I don't care for a aftermarket one, so don't try to talk me into it, just honest opinions on which way you think the triple looks the best. With factory flyscreen or without? I'm torn. I took mine off today just to see what I thought again, and I like it, but I also like it with the flyscreen. Thoughts anyone??? :???: :2guns:

I like to be totally naked! But the tiny Triumph screen looks good too. I almost bought one twice.

But I prefer the raw nake look!

I took my flyscreen off ages ago, I think the bike looks properly 'complete' without it, with the flyscreen I think it competes with rather then complements the bug-eyes. It looks good in and of itself but I think its that one extra bit that "over-styles" the bike.

I have simillar thoughs regarding the seat cowl, that 'gapped' cover still doesnt convince me it's a "real" cowl, the belly pan and hugger are great accents thought, I think they complement the bike wonderfully.

Keep 'er nekkid and let 'er boobs hang out!!

It's a naked bike. The more it stays that way the better.

N-n-n-nAKED!!!!

no belly pan, radiator cowles, or seat hump either. Hugger is good though.

I like the fly screen, and will probably buy one (if anyone has a black they want to get rid of, let me know). While naked is always good, the fly screen adds that little bit of mystery that I always find desireable. :blush:

I without a doubt love the fly screen. I have had mine on now for about 10 months. However, the bike is cool looking without it too. Before mine came in I had to ride the bike without it on for about a month and I came to like it.

Take it on and off when the mood strikes, this is just another one of those things that makes these bikes so great.

I do not like the cowl. Maybe if it was not slotted, but I use a seat bag so it's a moot point anyway.

I liked the chin spoiler at first but glad I did not do one. However, if I had one on I probably would leave it on.
