Screen advice
#1
I have a 2012 FZ1 and it has a standard screen, I find the wind blast too much. Could anyone sugest a replacement? MRA screens look ugly :eek. I am only 5' 11" tall.

Pictures and links would be good. Thanks.  Big Grin

I know that Rifle do screens for the gen1 so maybe they do them for the gen 2 too???
I have a Givi on my gen 1 and before that I had a Powerbronze so again maybe they may have options for you?

Cheers

I have the Yamaha touring screen fitted to mine. It's about 4 inches higher than the OE screen. Keeps the wind blast off. I'll see if I can find a photo....

Bypass the Yamaha touring screen and go directly to the Givi if you're 5'11". I'm a wide 6'1" and the touring was ok for a bit, but the Givi is much more protective. It's a good bit wider than the Yamaha touring so it seems to smooth the airflow as well as being more protective.

I would agree. I'm 5'9'' and the Yamaha is just ok for me. Good screen but could do with being a few inches taller

Try one of these, no wind blast or noise ('cept for her wittering away on the back)  :lol

or if you just want to replace the screen instead of the bike, try this instead, works fine on mine.

Wow! I like the Gold wing concept, however it would be unwelcome filtering in the Westend of London I think. I do like the Givi as well as the Yam touring. I will keep my eyes open for what comes up.

Thank you guys. Realy help full.

I don't think that Goldwing's fairing is tall enough. How's about this. I measured the Fazer up, I reckon I could make it fit ..

Yeah, it's there's definitely something HR Geiger about that screen shape. Although, I don't remember Alien having Austin Princess Van den Plas running around the place. Wot is with that faux radiator grill on the front? Hideous.

Thanks Paul S


I have not settled on one yet the Givi sounds good however the Yam touring one looks cool but only comes in clear, still looking.


Thanks for the offer though. :thumbup

I have a '58 plate fz1 fazer and have a double bubble MRA smoked grey screen that is excellent. Have a look at www.BikeHPS.com. They are a German product,very good quality and are a straight swap.

I took my hot air gun and mini roller and slowly and carefully made a bit of a raized section on the outer edge. Works a treat!
