I have the National Cycles flyscreen which is about the same size and price as the Dart...I didn't think it did much until I took it off...it was back on in a week. They take a lot of wind blast off your chest!

Very happy with my Dart shield, it takes off quite some wind blast from the chest, and the air hitting me is pretty smooth. But possibly more wind noise from the lower part of the helmet, which is remedied by using ear plugs.

My only gripe is the mounting system of the headlight, it seems impossible to adjust the light to the desired position, then the flyscreen. They always seems to want to move together - ie if you try to put the flyscreen more upright,the windblast will push the screen back and the headlight out of alignment. I usually deals with it by pushing the screen all the way back,then adjusting the headlight.

The dart screen works great. It is easy to put on and to take off, and it is not too big. The only problem, like all screens, is that it catches a little from cross winds.
I was chasing my friend on his sv 650 yesterday and the little dart did its thing fine. The
last time i tried those speeds without the dart i was completely spent by the end of the day. But yesterday i kept up nicely , okay, will lets just say he was taking it easy but still
the dart did a great job.

I've had the Dart flyscreen on my 07 T100 since I bought it last year. A flyscreen is not a mini faring. It will not stop all wind. Depending upon your height (inseam) and riding style, it will take the pounding off your chest.

I became a believer when I put a little flyscreen on my SV650. If you choose to ride a bit forward, sport/jockey style, with your chest and body weight over the tank and front forks (it helps here if you've converted to a different, lower handlebar), you will feel little wind with the Dart. I rode today in 95 degree temps at 70+ mph and felt little on my chest or helmet (5'11", 31" inseam, Flanders Superbars). Placing your weight forward, over the forks, gives amazing control and response!

I have the DART fitted with LSL sports bars. The differance in winter is amazing, I no longer get a cold blast of air under the chin.The wind seems to hit the top of my helmet. Come summer time I ll probably take it off though as I prefer the naked look.

Anyone try to fit this guy on their bonnie? I think it looks pretty nice, the little piece of chrome gives it more class than the dart:

National Cycle model number N2532 "Fly Screen LS"

Ivar is right, the dart screen is great for getting the wind off your chest, (but puts its right into your head so wear earplugs) but its mounting really sucks, youve got a headlight that is held buy only 2 screws, it naturally wants to pivot on that axis, add to that a flyscreen catching wind... At night i have to reach forward and push the fvck3r forward to keep my headlamp on the road.
