Lots of choices for both, but hard to tell which is best quality. Hitchcock is out of bags.
What do you like ?

I think it comes down to looks more than quality as they are all mostly acrylic.I had the puig short one and the quality was fine but I removed it after my upper half and head were taking a battering at 60mph +

Flyscreen - Dart Piranha or Enfield Small. Dart looks better from the side and is easier to mount, you can also use alternative lamp holders. For RE Flyscreen you must use RE lamp holder. RE is heavier, but cheaper (if you buy directly from India via Ebay)

Only reason I want a flyscreen is to keep bugs and dirt from getting on gauges backside and being a nightmare keeping them clean.

Depending on your physiology and your seat poition it may route all the flys that land normally on your gauges onto yout teeth. Better choice?

On the Conti with lowered bars the (taller) screen works really god.

If that is the case ... upside down helmet face shield.
Back in the dark ages, I fab'd an arched metal band and installed "snap buttons" to match the ones on my helmets. Then I could carry my dark shield, as a bug shield, after dark and visa versa. Very handy. Plus in a parking lot you could tell who was just a nag. ;)

Best tinted flyscreen? Not sure but I have the RE one and it seems ok. Best side panel bag? The one still sitting on the shelf at the shop. Best place for them.

I'll be using the bag for various business paper work to accountant etc. when I want to deliver something local that I don't want to wait on snail mail to deliver.  Btw, I sent you a pm, but not sure you got it. I bought the Verex pipes that you recommended and LOVE the sound and quality !!  Thanks for the suggestion !

I purchased bags from Hepco Becker (black). The mounts are specifically designed for the Int650 and Continental and bolt right on. Great product.

I've recently purchased a 2022 Int650 and have been modifying it to make it my own. If I can figure out how to turn the  photo right way up, I'd be proud to show it off. My main goal was to trim weight and at this point, I've dropped about 45 lbs, mostly from the exhaust system.

The Dart Marlin flyscreen is their largest and most effective version and I was surprised at how much pressure it takes off of the chest at speed.
