Fly screen

    This weekend, I decided to investigate the creaking noise coming from
    the front of the bike and it turned out that the small aftermarket
    screen was rubbing against the instruments. Also the bolts which were
    holding the screen to the headlight were too short and the nuts had come
    off inside the headlight.

    As the screen also had a small crack, I decided to remove it and refit
    the headlight properly as I REALLY didn't want it to fall out while I
    was moving.

    Problem is that now, at speeds above the national limit, it's a bit
    windy so I'd like to fit a screen which actually fits.

    Suggestions please [1] for a replacement screen

    I have an "Impala" screen from M&P on my Zephyr, previously I had it on my
    CB500.

    It does a reasonable job of deflecting the windblast and was quite cheap too
    (about £40 IIRC).
