| think it looks good in both pics I like bikes without screen but I don't have to ride it best bet set your bike up so it suits you for ride comfort and how it looks and say to hell with what other people think sorry not much help just my opinion | |

| Personally I think a cruiser looks better with a screen fitted, also a more comfortable ride. | |

| Will it effect your ride by having it taken off? depends how it was setup and worked when it was initially fitted. Its about horses for courses as the saying goes. screens are great for when speed is picked up especially in the summer months but are also great if setup right in the winter for keeping the cold blast off you if setup right. I like the look of the bikes with the screens fitted and not fitted, Sorry not much help, love it both ways | |

| I prefer the look without screens, But they're essential when travelling at motorway speeds, I took mine off for a while, Then I gave in to the wind blast and put it back on | |

| Depends on the bike. Bobber or chopper style - quickest way to spoil it is fit a screen IMO. Classic touring cruiser looks right with a screen. As for practicality.....I was riding on the M4 today ( I'm a strict no screen sort of guy ) max speed 60, no trouble! I use my cruiser for a lot of local stuff and prefer the clean look and feel of a no screen bike. Fully dressed cruisers look right mind - just not for me. Also I think the screen needs to suit the bike. Big American style with lowers will be fine on a C800. M800 perhaps looks better with a more sleek fly type screen. But there are no rules of course - it's your bike to customise as you wish, or otherwise. If I were travelling a fair distance at 80mph a screen would be an essential but then so would a 6th gear be for me! Everyone's idea of vibration is different. For me, middleweight cruisers have a sweet spot around 60mph regardless of make or whether a screen is fitted or not. | |

| It depends on you and your build and your riding style, but I prefer a screen on. I'd go for a smaller one without the cross bar. The bar makes it look like a prison window. (just my 2cs worth of bs) | |

| At the end of the day, It all comes down to personal choice, It's your bike! dress it how you find best suits your needs, Then undress it, Then dress it, Then so on and so forth lol It's half an hour to change the bike to suit whatever mood your in on the day :bike3: :bike4: . | |
