I like the way they look. Got mine at JC Whitney part # CAE062385 for $7.99 (the plain version). Trimmed the leading edge with some of their chrome vinyl trim to make the sharp edge look like it's rolled.

I like it, although it would look sort of strange on my Thruxton. If I had a Bonnie I'd have a visor for sure.

I've got one on my Thruxton and it looks great. I've also got most of the usual mods, but one thing my Thruxton has I have yet to see on another is chrome speedometer and tachometer covers. Got them from a Thunderbird. They were a little pricey though. I felt the stock black plastic jobs were cheesy.

I've seen them look good on Thruxtons. However, I think it would look odd with my fairing.

I took the visor from my VStar and put it on the Thruxton, dang if it doesn't look good, really helps the front end of the Thruxton.
