Hello,
New 600 divvy owner here, after a 5 year gap from biking. I've been slowly modding and servicing my bike, but have yet to find a good answer to the screen problem.
Currently have a flip-up tinted thing fitted (no idea on brand, came with the bike when I bought it). Anything above 60mph and the buffeting is terrible. I'm not exactly a beanpole (5' 11"), so surely a regular screen exists that'll sort me out for wind protection?
Could the kind souls that have experience in this impart some wisdom - or better yet sizes, makes, and suppliers of 600 divvy screens? What are the dimensions of the standard screen? And did it change over the years (some seem to have postbox holes, others not).
Cheers in advance for any help.
-Rob.

MRA do a nice looking screen with spoiler but its also a medium flip so not much cop TBH.
You could try to find a superflip and chop the flip off the top.

Hi Rob
I think the screens did change over the years - the fairings certainly changed. There was one change around 1996. Pre-96 bikes have front indicators which mount on a bar under the fairing. Post 96 bikes have the same indicators, but they mount through the fairing. I think that there was also an earlier change, around 1992.
What year is your bike, and where are you? I think I have a standard screen from a 95 bike which isn't doing anything. If you are somewhere convenient, you are quite welcome to borrow it for a test.

Thanks for the replies.
My bike is a 97 model, has the indicators through the side fairing. Based in Norfolk if you're around? If not I've spied a screen for sale cheap enough that's probably worth a punt.
Cheers.

@cd only super-flips I can see are for the 900 model; don't think it's got the same fittings as the 600 has it?
