Looks very out of place on the S in my opinion. I use the Honda fly screen which suits the bike better.
I often try to suit the bike and the rider and usually find a good compromise somewhereGiven the choice between suiting the bike or suiting the rider, I make the same decision every time. My bike just has to get over it. Dissatisfied onlookers may gasp in dismay, or gaze elsewhere.

Riding is a hobby to me though and I want a bike that looks attractive to me. Maybe if a bike was my only mode of transport I would be more inclined towards what suits the rider and not so much the bike
I am very glad that a pink motorcycle with blue spots is not more effective than a silver and black one!
I have found that at 5'11" that the stock shield puts the wind buffeting right at my helmet hight when over 50mph. At 70mph it sort of feels like someone batting my head around, I think a taller shield is in my future. I bought this bike to ride the crap out of it and I ride everyday, rain or shine. So the esthetics fall to secound palce when it comes to my utility vehicle. While everyone wants their bike to look cool, I've found that with age "cool" now means anything that will make my ride more enjoyable.
That's funny. On the CalSci web site they say that if you don't like their shields, come back when you are older. Or something to that effect.

I guess I'm a little gun shy after the hunt for a good screen on my last bike (Bandit 1250). It seemed like the taller/bigger I went, the more protection I got, but there was also always more buffetting too. I ended up settling on a fairly small screen that pushed the air just to the base of my helmet chin bar -- which was loud, but at least it was nice clean air and kept the blast off my body. I don't mind loud really, I usually wear ear plugs, but I can't handle the buffetting/bobble-head thing....
Decisions, decisions....
