Well. Ive got an MRA touring on at the moment, and I think its rubbish - so Ive ordered a Zero Gravity Double Bubble to replace it :thumb:

some might find it ok, but im fairly short anyway, and it doesnt seem to do anything for wind above 50mph. once i get my new screen in and fitted, ill polish all the marks out the MRA and stick it in the sale section reasonably cheap. gives people a chance to try different ones that way :)

Keep the screen short, have clean air hitting your head which should be quieter than raised air from a touring screen buffeting on your head.

Had a touring screen fitted to mine when I bought it. It was hideously noisy even when I chopped 2" off it.

Fitted a cheap chinese d/b a year ago and its been brilliant. Good wind protection, very quiet, and looks good too.

I've chopped that screen down to Just above the fairing, and it's even quieter with the clean air hitting my lid.
As slimwilly said, keep it short.

Got an MRI vario but Im not sure its any better than the £15 chinky double bubble screen I bought.
