Thank you for your kind words, glad to hear I was able to be helpful! I appreciate you watching!

AWESOME! Glad that that worked for your as well! Please keep me posted, very interesting stuff to hear how it impacts other bikes!

Thank you for watching and for your feedback! What did you end up doing after all?

Thank you for your kind words! And glad I was helpful!

Thank you for watching! And for your kind words!

The Marling was a little too tall for me, though it does look nice. And yes, on a 500+ mile day the V7 does get a little tiring. Great adventure though!

Thank you for watching! And thank you for your feedback, you definitely boosted my confidence this morning! I appreciate you!

Adam H Thank you for your kind words and your question! Here is the link to the Dart website, it has some of their hi-res pictures of both as well as owner pictures: www.dartflyscreens.com/products/piranha-flyscreen?variant=12103803633758 Overall I’d say the standards screen is glossy and minimally transparent. The metallic screen is a flat color, non-transparent, and a darker gun metal grey is the best way I can describe it. It definitely doesn’t sparkle the way car metallic paint does. It blends in very well with my Guzzi where most parts are in a faded flat black, and the screen is just a tad lighter. I hope this helps! Let me know if I can help further, please. I appreciate you!

Jimmy Lau Thank you for your feedback, and sorry I wasn’t clear in my speech. I used automotive door edge guard, so that U-shaped plastic protection people put on the edge of their car doors to protect the paint in case they hit something when they open the door. I used the one sold as the “SUV-type” because it is thicker and rounder, thereby providing more surface area for the air to stream around and a smoother surface to shape the airflow. I think technically one could also glue some vortex generators to the screen for a similar effect, but I think the door edge guard does a great job and is visually more appealing. I hope this helps!

@@TexMexStrada Thanks for that. Much appreciated. I will give that a shot.

@@jimmylau6388 My pleasure! Please let me know if it worked for you.

Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, I shied away from the marlin for that reason, I thought it would push the wind into my helmet. Have you considered these two things: #1: lowering the headlight by sliding its bracket down the fork tubes #2: filing down the screen mounting bracket like I did on my V7III ? Those may help lead you to a solution. They definitely did for me.

Thank you for your kind words! It was a special edition, may be sold out already. I recommend you reach out to Dart directly, and inquire if they have any more/are taking orders on another run.

Just now seeing the comments below with similar question about door edge guard, very helpful thanks

On the filing, it would be on the part where the screen frame touches down on the headlight bracket, you file that down to help increase the lean-back angle. As to the door edge guard, I saw that you found the reference. Before you start filing, take a look at this post: facebook.com/texmexstrada/posts/2579414198974378 This may be an option for you as well, and if you lower the whole headlight assembly, you don't need to lean it back that far, so less filing. If you like the dropped headlight look, that may be an option for you as well. I hope this helps!

Thank you for watching and your kind words!

What do you mean? Since I ride 500+ miles per day on my trips, good airflow management is important

Thank you for your judgement, much appreciated! Here is what a riding day looks like for me: 500 miles across Texas at 85mph (GPS verified, cuz Texas) with 35mph winds (cuz Texas) that are carrying lots of sand & dirt (cuz Texas) as well as getting pelleted by sand & rocks kicked up by pickup trucks, freight trucks, oil trucks, and construction trucks (all cuz Texas) in 90F+ heat (cuz Texas). So, when the wind is just right I'm riding into a hot 120mph (85+35) sandblaster for hours on end, in back to back to back two-hour intervals, plus a little longer. And since I, at best, have a three day weekend for trips (cuz in Texas we work) and we have lots of ground to cover (cuz everything is bigger in Texas), I'm doing that for three days straight. How do your riding days look like? Oh, and is that a Dart Marlin in your profile picture on GuzziTech? And a thread comment about it (about cutting it down a little, but saying that you had never ridden the bike without it) from just a few weeks ago (September 10th, 2020)?
