Racing Wind screen for TV4R?

A totally different point and one I don't quite understand your point in making. All bikes are built to a certain cost. By removing pillion pegs, fitting asv levers, an AR can and bst carbon wheels I'm making my bike lighter with less unsprung weight and hence quicker handling but retaining the design of the bike the experts at Aprilia had in mind. By fitting a screen to a naked bike you are changing the whole ethos of a bike. It's like you buying a soft top car and then complaining about the wind noise or moving to the country and complaining that it smells of animals. Just buy a bike with a fairing:banghead

Your view is relevant to you, but to me it's not.

I have pazzo levers and an AR pipe. Not for weight saving as I would probably save more weight by leaving my undercrackers off.

The levers were changed because the stock clutch lever has no span adjustment.

The exhaust was changed because I love the look and sound of the AR pipe.

At over 19 stone with my gear on saving a few gramms or a kg doesn't interest me.

As for "buy a faired bike" been there done that thank you. I have had a series of sports bikes, the last being a highly modded R1 that I traded for my TV4.

The reason that I wanted nekked bike is because I have much more room on it with the high bars.

My other hobby is powerlifting which is why i weigh 18 1/2 stone butt nekked and I was finding myself more and more cramped on the R1.

I loved my R1 and the manic nature of it, but had outgrown it. This is where the TV4 came in.

The TV4 still has the bonkers behavior that I like, but I don't have to fold myself in half to ride it and once I added the Aprillia screen it is perfect.

Sorry if that upsets you, but I don't really give a ****.

It's my bike and I will make it suit me, not you.
