            Yes, not very big and not very rugged either....i was looking for vintage and these were offered up by a friend.....I'll probably look for a vetter set this winter because I think I'll be spending a lot of time on her....
            Good for now though.....

                    That's not the original screen to that fairing, is it? I remember Nate's being bigger, and more square.

                      No its not....the original one cracked when the PO cut the holes for the vents.....I tried to fix it, really looked like crap.....had a screen off a bike long gone so I cut it up......its a little dinged up but most of the scratches polished out.....
                      I cut it down to where I wanted it...probably 5 inches.....works good, might even go another inch to get the edge out of my view a bit....then install the vents....
