Spent the afternoon riding some trails and back roads to find some decent loops for my newbie friends, before I throw them into some real technical stuff ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Does that windscreen help a lot on the road?

It has definitely made a difference for me. I got the 701 without a screen and always felt like I'd have to hang on a bit too much at highway speeds, which is no longer the case with the screen. I still cop a bit of wind to the face, but it's a big improvement in terms of comfort.

It is just a cheap $10 screen off AliExpress but I am really happy with it until I decide to bite the bullet and get a rally tower.

I've been flirting with the idea of finding one for my 350. Obviously don't do a ton of road with it, but even just getting out to the trails, which are about 30 miles away, it would be nice to have. I'd like one where I could quickly remove it ideally, or there was a guy that's making them on brackets where they fold down over the headlight. Has to be better than nothing, but I also don't want it in the way on the trails.
