If you do anything more than legal speeds the top of it is gonna wobble / vibrate in front of your eyes.  My Givi d129 was 4" taller than the standard screen and did this, and believe me, it's quite distracting.

This brute:

is what you need but I don't think they're made anymore.   Still, searching ebay USA might turn up something very similar....

Exactly, speed is the enemy of tall screens.Ride below 80 and it will be fine.


High speeds, they disturb too much air, cause a huge vacuum behind them,suck your ear wax out,cause the rear can noise to bounce off them onto you.

The Madstad ones are supposed to be very good as they adjust and let the air go both sides of the screen, read the bumpf on the site for full explanation. I would go for the smaller 18" screen myself.

Ive got the Rifle 20" tinted screen, its fantastic in the rain, its quite tall & doesnt move in the wind, if you look at my posts/ pictures you should see it on the bike, fazer69.

Mmm that doesn't look as big as the 20 inch moniker would suggest. Makes your bike look a big FJR (not  a bad thing in my view) did you import the screen or was it already fitted to your bike and if you did was it expensive??
