RE: New screen - 3

I just returned from a 1650 mile ride to the Chief Joseph rally in Oregon and back. I had the (relatively) large Power Bronze screen installed on my RS and I continue to be very happy with it as a good compromise for both hot and cooler rides. Plus, the price was lower than most other options.

Richard, was this the PB "standard screen" (PB item #410-B119)?

Richard, I see that there is a 450mm screen on their website. I have a "standard" on order which is 435mm. Don't know if this was introduced later or not.

Personally I like form but function trumps for me. The stock screen for ME was noisy no matter where it was mounted. Spoiled by my GS's one with a v stream and GSA with stock plus MRA X-screen. Both very calm and quiet.
Went from MY experience to the Vstream touring shield. Not a small screen but hit the freeway this a.m. and BAM! Damn near perfect. Very little wind noise as I like. Not a small screen but I'll take the function and my ears are very happy. JMHO.
Good luck in your search

I have and love it. Don't see why people are too concerned about big screens, IMO it suits the bike so much better than standard

Im 5 11 btw.

Installed and rode the MRA X-SCREEN touring this week. Not quite as calm as the V Stream touring barn door but pretty close. Have it in the high position with the spoiler all the way up. Looks very nice too.

I knew from the test ride that the standard screen would need replacing, (I'm tall) but not a problem, plenty of choice out there.

First I fitted the Givi touring screen. A big improvement.

Then summer hit hard, and I wanted more flexibility in terms of screen height and air-flow, so bought the MRA Vario touring screen. (I had one of these on my old GTR and it was perfect.) Tried it on a 5 day tour of Scotland. I was thoroughly unimpressed! So much so that when I got home, I re-fitted the Givi.

Then I spotted a V-Stream touring screen on eBay with a "Buy It Now" price, so figured "what the hell" and splashed the cash.

Because of work/life I haven't had a chance to ride the bike since I fitted it, but I'm out on it next weekend, and off to Corsica the weekend after that. I'll report back afterwards.

Recently returned from an Ottawa, Ontario, Canada to San Diego and return trip. Fitted a medium sport AeroFlow screen before I left. I found this screen to be a significant improvement over the stock screen, and over the the stock screen with a Wunderlich deflector. While in California I stopped by AeroFlow’s premises in Los Angeles and bought the AeroFlow “AeroFlares”, which the owner kindly fitted for me. These are smallish wind deflectors that fit above the BMW deflectors on the fairing and direct air away from the hands and torso. I found them surprisingly effective and a worthwhile addition, substantially reducing unwanted airflow and turbulence. The smoked colour perfectly matches the BMW deflectors and As a bonus I think they actually improve the look of the bike.
I am 5’9”, the bike is fitted with a standard height seat and Helibars risers.

I velcroed a Sena “wrist” remote to the top of the clutch reservoir. Convenient and much easier to use than the buttons on the integrated SENA unit for the Shoei GT-Air helmet I have. The Sena unit comes with a remote that clamps around the bar grip, doesn’t work well on the bike, pushes the hand too far left and away from the switches.

$180 for two bits of velcroed plastic?
I’ll need to remortgage the house first.
I’m sure someone with the right plastic forming kit can do these cheaper. Aeroflow seem to charge high prices.
