-
That looks ok, tell us whether it works better or not, and post a picture so we can see it more in relation to the bike!
-

Hi done 176 miles around North Wales today the screen has done its job perfectly its kept that cold wind off me all day and the wind noise has almost disappeared from my helmet, highly recommend it hope you like the picture Dave :)
-
Hi, looking for something to reduce that wind noise, I've experimented with shorter than standard screens which seem to lower the turbulence to chest height instead of around your head, but would like to try one of these, out of interest how tall are you?

How tall are you? Your height is important to determine if the same screen suits others, myself included.

Hi im 5ft 11inch the problem ive got is I have short legs and a long torso, it works for me I don't know if you have noticed but the top 2in of the screen is turned up so it lifts the air up :) Dave
-
Thanks. I'm 5'9" which you make it to high and would cause to much turbulence. I tried a taller one previously on the 600 and had to take it off whereas my 6ft friend thought it was great and better than standard.
-
I'm 5'11" too so might be worth a try, I've found if I put some weight on my footrests to raise me up a couple of inches when riding, everything goes quiet and no turbulence so this might work?? I'm only in North Wales could always meet you at J&S to have a look?

Hi ket let me know when your about or you can call at the house im only 7 miles away from J&S 5mins down the bypass :)
Hi Jeff item no 231106332664 hope you find it :)
-
That would be great, thanks, will drop you a pm when I'm heading that way, obviously depends on weather.
I found item first time on ebay- fazer screens, they are definitely still there
-
Got it thanks
-
Will am I right in thinking yours is the black screen , as I see they do a dark grey as well.

Hi its the dark grey (most popular) cheers Dave :)
-
Thanks Dave
-
Nice, been thinking of getting one for a while, but wanted to know if they made much difference on the motorway?
-
Ive just sent for one to try,after saying I wouldn't do this anymore...up to now I have tried a Zero Gravity d/b a Yam touring screen a Vario and a Powerbronze d/b which I bought first and keep ending up putting back on. Soon as I read a review on another screen it starts me to thinking "is this the one" as lack of weather protection especially when touring is an issue, and I am reluctant to swap to another bike as the FZS1 does tick so many other boxes......so fingers crossed.
-
How does it compare to the MRA screen?
-
The thing ive learned is someone who is roughly your size may thing a certain screen is brilliant and you buy one only to find it not so great for you...ive certainly found it to be the only thing that there isn't an easy solution t., Under advice on this site from some people who are generous with their time and knowledge most things can be remedied but screens....... Im not expecting total wind protection its a sport/tourer after all not a touring battleship but I am sure it can be better than it is, so thats why im trying yet another screen.
