Hello all, I have a 1990 ST1100 with 94000km, which I have recently restored from a non-running condition.
It has what I believe is the stock windscreen with two cut-out vents. I find this to be really noisy around my helmet at practically any open-road speed, seems to aim the air right at the upper edge of my visor. I'm otherwise happy with the protection the screen offers, but would like something that is smoother and quieter, but still of a similar height as I don't wish to look through it. What is a good alternative screen?
The bike is also on it's original shock, and while it is oil-tight and has reasonable damping left, the spring does appear to have sacked out, and I am bashing the undercarriage more than I should on bumpy bends; if I keep doing this I'm going to have no centrestand left! Can someone recommend a good alternative for me? The Progressive 465 looks like a good price, is this a good reliable choice? I don't carry a pillion or heavy loads, but I do like to keep up a brisk pace on our nice windy roads.
Thanks for your thoughts.
