RE: 1250 RS Windscreen - Loud! - 17

Got the MRA X-creen and tried both hi and low mountings and as mentioned by others lower seems to generally be better. Tried numerous tilts and heights of the wing and while incrementally better with different settings the entire set up is less turbulent, but not hugely more quiet. The biggest benefit was less eating a lot less bugs. I’m a little concerned with the durability of all the fiddly little parts for adjusting the tilt screen

Be very careful with Loctite anywhere near a clear screen unless you are 100% sure there isn't a compatibility issue.

Three guesses as to how I know about this...

Would like to see photos of PUIG screen (both touring and touring plus) on someone's bike. The touring plus is about 21" tall...that seems huge. Does it look like a barn door on the bike?

Still using my WRS with the MRA X-creen on top. Much better, though when I open my Shoei chin vent, I get some unpleasant noise. Also have low-frequency noise on helmet that isn't bothersome until about 50 or so miles into a ride, then it's hard to ignore. But so far the WRS/X-creen combo is the closest to nirvana I've gotten so far.

But curious about the shorter of the PUIG tour screens if someone has one and can comment on its effectiveness.

Puig has a comparison on their website;

Considering the minor difference relative to the stock shield, why not mount the MRA deflector on your stock screen and say close enough?

Have you considered the MRA screen with X-creen combo? Here is a detailed review of this combo done by a fellow RS owner. Youtube title is Excellent Replacement Windscreen for the BMW R1200RS by Grumpy Goat. I would have provided link but I don't have enough posts to have that ability.

Also, have you tried the Aeroflow screens?

I have the Puig Touring screen (smaller of the two). I can post pics but visually, it's the same size as stock IMO.

I have only read several posts regarding how owners have liked the Aeroflow screens as I am still considering getting an RS and am looking for solutions to screen also. I too have noticed some turbulence when riding one with the stock screen (I'm 6'0)

I did note that Duckbubbles, for one, like the Aeroflow sport for summer and has the same setup you now have for winter - IIRC.

Aeroflow isn't mentioned as much maybe since it costs a bit more than some

Bearr, here are some photos of the Puig Touring (short) screen vs the stocker.

They are very similar in size. I know they say it is 2cm taller than stock, but that doesn't seem correct, it is only very slightly taller. The two main differences are there is no lip on the top, and they key difference I think is the profile difference which I have tried to illustrate in the third picture. This profile may contribute to them saying it is 2cm taller.

It is definitely better than stock, and works well with the spoiler as well.

There's a chap on YouTube called Texas2Tires who has done videos about this screen: https://youtu.be/N57MPBXHAL4

Thanks for that PUIG touring screen vs stock comparison. I went out on a limb last night and ordered the PUIG Touring "Plus" screen from Revzilla. Doing some calculations, I figured the Touring Plus screen (which is 21.6" tall), when mounted in the lower mount holes and the screen rotated to the lower position would give me a screen that is about 1" taller than my WRS with MRA X-creen (the WRS/MRA configuration mounted in the upper mount holes and rotated to the upper position). That 1" was what I figured I needed, as the WRS/MRA configuration is near-perfect, and IS perfect if I duck my head about an inch.

With the Touring Plus rotated to the high position, I'd get an additional 2" of height, but I don't think it'll be needed.

The issues remaining won't be understood until the new screen is mounted: How hot is it behind the screen? Does it look wrong on the bike? As to the first question, I'm hopeful that the quiet behind the screen will allow me to dispense with the neck gaiter I wear (for noise reduction), making me cooler, and I could remove the chin curtain on my Shoei, adding to the cooling effect. As for how it'll look...being just about 1" taller in the mounting/positioning configuration I described, I think it'll look no worse than the WRS with MRA X-creen mounted...in fact it should look "cleaner".

"Best laid plans..." however...

I have the PUIG touring plus .... The other day I had it down in the lower setting (pushed down) for most of a ride and I noticed a lot more wind just under the chin of my helmet and around the neck. I have it mounted in the higher position with the screws. So when you put the screen up it has very good protection and seems to be fairly quiet. When you push it down it does let a lot more air in, so much so that I don't think that I will put the stock back on for summer. But there is at least a small increase in noise with the screen pushed down ...
