I had our R1250RS shields mounted in the lower four holes but for some reason I could not snug down the four fasteners all the way.

A lick of paint inside is the way to go.

Zitat von jrt im Beitrag #3 All of our BMWs have had tinted shields since 1991. My last bike had a painted shield. The tinted shields age better than clear. Sometimes clear shields will yellow with age and fine scratches show more on a clear shield. The other reason is we both like the look. I really like the look of Debbie's RS with the tinted shield. I painted mine today but have not removed the tape and paper to see how it looks. Here's a picture of our R1200RSs. One tinted, one painted. 20180428_132715.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Zitat von Jim Evans im Beitrag #6 Considering its orientation to the rider, I've rarely looked thru the windshield/screen on my wethead or prior oilhead RS's. In the case of these bikes, the shield/screen is more of a fairing extension, in my opinion. I like the light smoke Puig screen, which is available in sport and touring sizes. Remax screens, of similar size and tint, are available for the same or lower price.

A bit different with larger screens. I currently have Givi touring screens on both bikes. I look over them for traffic etc but might end up with my gaze following down through the screen e.g when looking to come to a halt and avoiding footfall in a pothole or whatever or observing a tight change of lane by a car preceded by an indicator which might require me to react.

Zitat von Jim Evans im Beitrag #6 The shield is way too low for me to look through. If I laid on the tank and tried to look through it there's too much distortion. The last bike I could look through the shield was my 1984 R100RT and I still looked over it. Plenty of people mount the GPS at the top of the shield. This would prevent looking through the shield.

Who on earth is "looking through" a bike screen?

I seem to remember that one of the stock screen options (for the R1200RS at least) was opaque anyway? Clear, smoked or black I think? Or maybe I just dreamed that...

Zitat von Wayfarer im Beitrag #13 I have not noticed any difference in wind protection or noise between the 1200 and 1250.
