Very nice screen. After seeing the photos that were sent and thinking a little on it I can see it being perfect for some, but maybe just a little more than I need. I'm getting to like a shorter shield...
Why I've been thinking on staying with stock or, at the most, going with the MRA X-creen option if anything. I may yet change my mind but it's where I am for now. Everyone is different. And everything changes for everyone at different times. The only thing that never changes is that everything eventually changes.

I don't own a CTX1300 as yet but from what im seeing the stock one is really hard to move away from.Very nice screen.

I won't have any hesitation at all moving as far away from it as possible, other than the work to install a different windshield (which does sound kind of daunting). I guess that's the price we pay for a sexy-looking bike--you can't have any exposed hardware, which is what makes it tough to get to certain parts. I would regularly disassemble the front of the Gold Wing fairing to do electrical work, and it went back together fairly easily.
I think working on the CTX1300 will be a challenge because of all of the things held on with plastic clips, and those can be easy to lose. I have to replace one of them already.
I was noticing this in Rich's first post. The fewer bolts you can see, the worse you know the job is gonna be. I took a quick peek at the dash, and there ain't a bolt of fastener to be seen anywhere. That job is gonna suck.
Just sent you a note -- send me a few pics and I'll get them up here for ya.
I'll have to experience the difficulty of stripping her some day.
My ST1100 doesn't require much to get to the space in front of the dash but to get under the pockets on the sides I have to remove the seat and the saddlebags, then the side panels, then the top shelter, and finally the pocket covers. Then I can do electrical or other work. It's worse to get under the rear.

Ya know, you can set up your own gallery right here: Honda CTX1300 Forum - All Albums. Click Add Album to create your own album, and you can upload pics directly from your computer or phone. Piece of cake to link to pics in it, too.
But I'll still be glad to post 'em for ya anyway if you want.
