A screen for attachment to an front forked portion of a motorcycle has improved aerodynamic characteristics. An upper garnish is located on the forward side of the screen. The upper garnish extends substantially horizontally across the screen. An expanded portion protrudes forwardly and extends substantially across the entire length of the upper garnish. The expanded portion redirects any horizontal air current impacting thereagainst. The redirected air current influences the horizontal air currents impacting the screen by causing a turbulence area slightly in front of the screen. This turbulence acts to lessen the impact of the horizontal air currents against the screen, resulting in a decrease in an overall running resistance of the motorcycle.
