Ok we need to make you a bike build thread, so you won't have a new thread for each part. I'd do it but I'm at work on my phone

I think everybody's opinion is going to be a little biased. :D

I'm personally not a fan of big windscreens in the looks department, but I love them for the wind protection.

I figure is easy enough to switch to the stock one if I need to

Honestly...in the looks dept, not somethin I would do to mine mainly because if Im that concerned about the wind Ill tank down further outta the stream or take the cage. As for functionality, gonna make a big o hole in the atmosphere as you fly along.
No matter what is said or thought just remember that it is your ride and what you do to it is to make YOU happy! So mod away and enjoy!

With the stock one on the 250, not really able to tuck very much. I've only rode once with it so far, to bike night and back, made a big difference. On the ninjette boards, everyone that tried one like this one is very happy with the change and none have gone back to the stock one. That being said, I'm hanging on to the stock one just in case.

I never had a problem tucking down behind the 250's and hers was stock.
