Re: KTM Duke 390 - Owners Reviews and Experiences
I did the same mod as well. Cost me Rs183 to get the fazer wind screen from Yamaha SVC..
Removed the current small sheild and initially used the existing small wind screen to mark the holes [as low as possible so that the bottom part of the wind screen doesn't overlap top part of headlight] and after drilling found that they were little off and not matching exactly with screw holes in the bike...Later used the number plate bracket to mark the holes and drilled slowly and thus making the existing holes slightly bigger to fit the screw holes in bike. All the drilling and fixing was done by myself...[Went to two local mechanics and both of them looked very busy..:-(]
Took the bike for ride at 11 PM and initial impression was that the air is pushed directly to your helmet and riding your bike at 130, you will lot more air hitting your helmet visor area and it becomes lot more difficult to ride with open visor [used a tinted visor and had to open it while riding at night]. So I have to look out for a clean transparent visor now...
But it definitely helps in air drag compared to earlier smaller screen and it also adds to funky looks of the bike [as if it has got a new horn]
One more niggle is that you cannot completely crouch from your sitting position to tuck behind the fazer wind screen because your helmet will hit the top of the wind screen if you try to do so and there is no room in the seat to move back.
It vibrates significantly when you hit pot holes at low speed and on slightly on idle. To counter that, i'm searching for a simple black rod with threads to screw on the windscreen [there are already existing holes in wind screen that can be used for this purpose] and attaching it to the handle bar.

First mod for touring complete. 
I read about few ppl in team-bhp fitting the fazer's windscreen. So I thOught, I'll also try. Took me sometime to get the work. I haven't tried it out on long distance yet. But after a short run in the highway, I can say there's considerable reduction in the wind blast. Was comfortably able to cruise at speeds of 130Kmph. Did not try more than that. The wind blast is felt on top of the shoulders to the head. A good helmet should solve that problem. I did the test run without the Hemet. I'll try it out on a long drive and let you guys know how it holds up.
Btw, the windscreen costs only 300 bucks.. :P

. Though I was tucked in and was armoured with full riding gears, anything beyond 160+ does literally choke you real bad which is very uncomfortable!! 
. Guess I gotta try this on
