    Are you talking about a windshield? If so, I have the Memphis Shades Hell Cat on my 85 xj700n and love it. Don't know what's available across the pond.

    How is the turbulance with that summer one? I'm 5'10 and my current windscreen will cause a fair amount of head bobbing at 60MPH and above when riding into the wind.

    By the way Jackohelp, welcome aboard. And, there are a few Brits on here.

    K-moe, the small screen is very good. I'm 5' 9" and roll along on the highway (with truck traffic) between 65 and 80MPH and it's not an issue. The large one never has been an issue either with head bobbing. However, that one does require caution though, when you're at any speeds above 80MPH.

    Thank you.

    Just looking around. Got myself a 1985 700 maxim 49 state version. Think I may need some carb help soon. Got a little leak. I believe the petcock vacuum has been refurbished and fixed but it's coming from somewhere else
