Me too, as well I received two messages from Steve at Dart thanking me and letting me know when my screen had shipped, now if we can get a how hard was it to install post it would make me decide whether to do it my self or not. :)
Looks dead easy to install just be mindful you do not scratch screen when offering it up to brackets

While for the most part I agree I can't help but think so far everything I have tried to do has ended in a problem. I never have had this difficulty on any other bike, but so far the times I have on this one every fastener seems way over torqued to the point where it damages fasteners on removal.

I just pulled the trigger on the dark tint one for my yellow Icon. I love the look of the midnight one, but I didn't want to block out the view. Maybe it's no big deal in reality, but I think the dark tint one looks bad ass on yellow anyway. :)

I don't exactly want a screen for visual reasons, but I commute 70 miles a day round trip on my Scrambler for work (I've already racked up 1700 miles). 95% of that is freeway where speeds range from 60-75 mph, and the wind blast can be a bit tiring, especially if it's windy out. I really hope this helps.

It is very simple to fit, but, it is a bit tight and fiddly getting the nut back onto the indicator securing bolt. But that's the only difficult part, and the instructions that come with it are simple and clear.

With my luck lately in doing mods I probably will pay the dealer to fit it and save myself the frustration that I seem to experience the older I get :)

Mine came and got it on in 30 minutes (I was taking care not to mark it). I am not sure what to think of the looks as prefer the look without but once I see how effective it is I will decide it it stays on or is just for trips.

I think I quite like the way the sky is glaring on there, Might be a neat thing to do across length wise. Kinda like the ducati logo.

I thought that with my Bonneville, a year later it's still on the bike. Took it off once after a trip to France, but soon put it back on, and there it's stayed.

I just fitted mine and when for a quick blast to test it, I'm 5ft 10 and have standard seat and it has made a huge difference, I'm very glad I fitted it.

I prefer the look of the bike without it, but on this one its function over form, though I may remove it if not venturing out on any big rides and just tootling about.

Dead easy to fit, and only 2 mins to remove the screen and leave brackets on if wanted too.

Ok so managed to get out for a blast. I am now liking the look as it has grown on me. The screen is effective at keeping wind of the torso and directs it to shoulders. Doing 80 is more comfy even though it is a bit windy out today and it means I can expand use of the bike which being my only bike is a good thing. Similar wind protection to my NC700S with the shorter Puig screen it had and that made touring much more enjoyable! A good helmet like the C3 Pro which is very quiet will deal with any extra wind noise around helmet so all looks good to me.

If it helps I am 5'6" in height with an inseam of 30" and like I said the wind hits top of my shoulders, if that helps anyone.

Just fitted the dark smoke screen. I quite like it and don't feel it detracts from the bike at all. Took about 10-15 mins to fit.

My tip for holding that fiddly nut on the indicator is to stick it to your finger tip using a bit of blu tac. That way you can move it about without it falling and you can still apply a bit of pressure when it is in place.

The seat arrived back for the trimmers today, so here the full bike pic's of the Midnight tint screen as requested. Seat has been raised and had gel insert, Not had chance to ride it yet, so no feedback on how either the screen or seat perform yet.

Here is mine, I ordered a midnight tint then when it came realised it's exactly the same as my smoke tint screen on my Guzzi except for the fittings! So tried both and decided I preferred the smoke (like the fact you can see through it a bit). Took it for a short ride and yes it does help a lot with the body blast, a bit more noise around my helmet but didn't have my ear plugs in. I don't think it detracts much from the looks so once I've given it a blast down the by-pass think it will be staying!
