    I'm heading on a trip and going to be doing a lot of miles at 120km+ - and my bike, a Ducati Monster 620ie is Naked, so the wind gets fairly full on. A mate said I should look at getting a wind deflector screen as they really help. Not sure where to look but can i just get a generic one or do i need some specifically for my bike? Has anyone got one of these for their bike?

    Shows a 600, not a 620.

    You could also try pyramid plastics. Tho I dont see a specific screen listed.

    Givi have a selection of universal screens as do Puig- I'd post a thread on Ducatisti.org and find out what they recommend. Most small screens only do an average job of providing wind protection - I've had them on my last two bikes and once you hit 130kph they are useless anyway.

    Unless you are blasting to Nice on the autoroute you won't be spending that long at high speed because Frog plod will spend the whole time in your wallet.

    People buy these bikes cause they look cool but as soon as you put some horses into the back wheel and go for a serious spin? Well you realise that you will need arms like a friggin orangutan to hold on for more than 5 miles at anything over 50mph.

    IMHO I'd sell it and buy a factory faired bike, just so happens I have an empty spot in the garage and need a cheap naked
