Why I am selling my Dart Flyscreen

I bought the classic flyscreen by Dart in hopes of reducing wind noise on longer trips. Sadly, it did the opposite and increased the level of noise to an unbearable level. I am 5'11'' with a 32'' inseam and ride a 2018 Triumph Bonneville T120. Based on my testing, I would need to be at least 6'3"' tall for the flyscreen not to negatively affect me.

Well done that man.
I'm only here because I have been looking at a screwn for my 98 TBS.
I think I will forget about a screen,
I've gone 66yrs without one, a few more won't hurt.👍

THANK YOU! It’s very disappointing when nobody posts this REAL hands on or whatever you want to name it video, because they always get a new one, maybe sponsored and they don’t say anything about the pros and cons of the product. You have my Congratulations and again a, THANKNYOU! Because you saved me money and more important than that, you saved me TIME!

Thanks for the feedback, I was just about to buy one..

Thanks for this review - I was just about to purchase the Dart Flyscreen too - saved me some money and time. Very well done!

A great review and I can absolutely confirm this. I had bought a Dart flyscreen for my Bonneville Bobber and experienced the same issue, sold it again after 50 km. When I bought my Scrambler 1200 I went for the original Triumph flyscreen but once again had the same issue, took it off after the ride home from the dealership since the noise and bobbing was unbearable. I do love the looks of flyscreens, but they are unbearable for me - side note: I'm about 182 cm tall, short legs and tall upper body.

They fixed this problem. Dart Marlyn Flyer with much taller height. Just got mine in today and going to reviews it.

Thanks for the video. This is true.

I cruise around 60 to 80 kph.
deflect bugs out of my body.

I am keeping my screen.

Windshields and screens on Bonnevilles are more trouble than they are worth. A decent helmet (eg Shoei Neotec3), wrap up warm and keep your speed down. Forget windshields.

I had the same issue too! On my t120. Am 6’ 2”. I might have to hang on a bit more above 65mph-but most of my riding is below 70, so no wind helmet/buffet noise now in the 35-70 range.

I just installed the same windscreen on my Bonneville with the angle all the way against the tach/rpm gauges. Bear in mind that I wear ear plugs but I honestly dis not feel.any buffeting. I'm 5'11", medium build, etc.

Not sure why but so far it's worked well for me on top of getting rid of the wind blast off my chest and shoulders.

I just rcvd mine and only tired it out once. I am using a new helmet but the air seems to be hitting right in the forehead or eye area. Looks great and well made. Will have to try it a few more times; but, it was very noisy today...The curve in the shield is the problem. If it was made in a straighter configuration it might go right over me...I am 5'6"....

[sambam]

I feel that's whats happening with my fly screen too. Might need to take mine off as well. Good vid 👍

[XKSS]

Thanks for the excellent report. You have saved me $151 US dollars. Damn, I need to find an alternative before I'm blown off my R nineT.

[bonnymagoo]

Man thanks for this. Just saved me some cash.

I have the same problem. Just fitted last week and although it took the wind away from my chest which made for a more comfortable ride in regards to relaxing my arms to the handlebars the buffering of the wind bouncing off the flyscreen straight into my helmet is very noisy and uncomfortable. I'm of average size and 6ft. So I'm hoping I can exchange it for the next size up which I hope will send the wind over the top of my helmet. Stay Tuned...

[Roger_Gustafsson]

Im 6' installed it on my Harley. Unfortunately useless. Shook my head so bad I couldn't focus my eyes. Crazy. Its going bavk. Too bad as its a really good build.

[charlesbrowne]

I agree way to much wind noise all it does is take a little bit of wind of your chest not worth the money I’m 5/11 I’m taking mine off

[confidential]

Is there a good alternate recommendation? For a Ttriumph Street Scrambler, 900cc

[leegove]

I put the dart flyscreen on my rebel 500, it was terrible. The buffeting made the bike unstable at 100k. I removed it, problem solved

[petethepunisher]

Did you try and angle it back towards you
