RE: 1250 RS Windscreen - Loud! - 18

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 ...

You could always disassemble the MRA X-creen and change the current blade for one an inch taller, if you have access to an old screen or even an old helmet visor (depending obviously on size & shape).

So I'm 5'10" but I have shorter legs with a 29" to 30 inseam and I do tend to sit tall in pickups, often looking through the last inches of windscreen ... On my slash five I look over the windscreen and it is pretty tall a windjammer III .... I actually fit the RS very well imo .... but I do have some gut to get rid of, which is probably the biggest reason for getting the wunderlich bar risers, guts in the way lol ....

I do really like the SC Project slip on, it has a nice ragged sound when you crank it, but stays fairly quiet most of the time, and saves a fair amount of weight, hasn't fallen apart yet lol ....

Well after trying the MRA X-Creen I decided I just didn’t like the way it looked and it didn’t make that huge a difference how I moved it around although certainly better than stock. On suggestion here I tried the Puig Sport Touring, and while not much larger or taller is angled forward more than stock and is as good as the MRA in any position, so it’s a keeper. 5’11” 31 inseam

Thanks for helping with this!

Man - 18 pages of thread on this topic. So two more cents worth.

I'll note that a barn door on the front of the bike will always create a quiet area out of the wind.

Recent trip, picked up the Vario touring screen. Mounted in the high setting with the spoiler up, relatively quiet at triple digits. Drops down nicely for the twisties. A great summer screen. (I use an Aeroflow medium touring screen for winter for better arm protection. Similar or slightly better noise reduction.)

6'3" (189 cm) with a sport seat, noisy helmet (Shoei X14) and almost always, Leight or custom ear plugs.

mobile enterprise application development need to be scalable to accommodate the growing number of users and increasing data loads. They should also be optimized for performance to handle high user concurrency.

Could you translate that into English, please?

John has form for posting a reply to the wrong forum - I almost banned him a while ago but he has made some on topic, coherent posts.

(Once I sorted the windscreen issue, with the Puig/MRA combo, the RS was literally transformed. Another thing I've come to appreciate about the RS is that - unlike my RR - I no longer feel the need to be in "attack mode" all the time in the twisties. On the RR, it was always "charge, brake, turn, charge...". With the RS, I'm actually enjoying the cruise mode, and enjoying the scenery which previously had not only been blurred, but had to be viewed with a crooked neck.)


I was up near Mount Evans on the new Echo Lake Road, the other day and I kind of settled down into a similar relaxed mode. Leaving out the charge completely and just running in 3rd mostly and staying under the speed limit, which is really low 35 or 40 mph ... But braking into the turns ... the transition to brisk as I was still running close to the speed limit, hanging off some and then using the torque to ease back into the staight, usually without shifting down. This road is well used and if you get out of hand a bicyclist or hiker will whip out their phone and have someone waiting for you, possibly. Only in and out, Evergreen to Idaho Springs with a dead end tee to MT Evans ... This road used to be all patches and rough as a cob. And I have been known to bust it on the old /5 with long suspension at warp 9 .... Now the road is glass smooth and new, one of the only in CO like that for sure.
I've been leaving the puig touring screen in the down position and it doesn't seem to bother me much either way as far as noise, getting plenty of air in the low position. It got down to 59F right near Echo Lake, very high near treeline, I was getting cold .... If you want to go on up to Mt. Evans (14000+) you have to reserve a place, phone ahead or online ... I was happy to find a way to challenge myself a little in the corners without angering everyone and making a spectacle of myself. The RS seemed to adapt to the lowend usage and pulled like a train out of the corners without complaining, in spite of the altitude (close to 11000 just before Echo Lake) ...

What a great description of your Mt. Evans ride. Funny about bicyclists with their phones...

Yeah, this bike (once I got over the Boxer motor isn't like the inline 4 RR motor prejudice) is a hidden gem. I've got the heated BMW seats on mine, so in the colder, higher mountains they are nice. Funny how heating up your butt makes the rest of you warm.
