Just google "yellow tint film".. I bought mine from https://www.britishlegends.fr/ when I ordered some other parts for my Bonneville

Did try 4 different screens, with and without deflectors. All combinations had negative effect on my comfort, namely turbulence hitting me between throat level (small BMW screen) and upper forehead (Clearview 22"). Did not notice any difference with the deflectors. Open face or closed helmet...

Red, no stripes, but now after 5000km I am ready to admit that the seat is a bit hard on longer runs.

Algarve, southern Portugal. Lovely country to live slowly in. The lady of the shop is called Dona Maria, and we always get our fruits from her if we happen to pass by with empty bags. Below is an old pic but you get the idea ;)

what a beautiful box ;)

Thanks! 1st pic I ever see of the thing in the "real world". No chrome either on this one!
