Biggest problem with the fazer is the angle of the screen and how low it is...dont think any screen will ever give a still air ride.TBH my favourite bike for high speed riding has been my 1050 speed triple with a bloomin fly screen on it. Yes there is a little wind blast , but no buffetting, no noise, and for me totally OK up to 130mph before I ducked down a bit. No screen on the fazer has ever been right for me. I have found the vario works best, but it still aint really the total solution.The stock screen just funnels wind blast straight onto my chest, the yam touring screen straight onto my visor !...the vario a bit higher, but still a bit of blast , and lots of flies...
One word of warning about fitting barn door screens is they really firm up and slow the steering in crosswinds, to the point of ruining the handling of the bike.I fitted a huge screen to my GS and hated it, looked shit , slowed up the nice steering, the gains were totally outweighed for me ...went back to the stocker ( though am still messing about with it).I even think massive screens can be dangerous on a fast bike like a fazer , because of the crosswind issue affecting steering.
If you look at world superbikes, they justfit a bouble bubble...but I spose wind roar aint a big issue for them...
