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.

I'm assuming that there is a statement in JohnBrown's seemingly incoherent post Namely that this thread is a never-ending aimless epic.

I like a Windscreen thread.
I'm going to start a new one that looks at the effect of airflow on ageing bikers prostates.
I think I'll call it "All Wind and Piss"

Well, ignoring the cynicism...

I have just read the latter few pages and seen the positive comments regarding a 'top blade' (whatever the other terms are?).

I fitted a cheap add-on earlier this year. A simple Allen screw attachment, only cost around £20. And, yes, it has transformed the wind protection when fast touring. Put your hand up at 70mph and you can feel the wind blast about 2 inches above, and each side of your helmet. You can leave a visor party open at those speeds.

We have just completed a 1,600 mile tour of Scotland, and the pillion on the back also experienced a massive reduction in wind buffeting. The only negative is in rain when the lack of wind pressure means the droplets do not roll off if you rotate your neck.

The photo hopefully shows that the blade top sits about 3 inches below the eye line.

I call my "blade" a "diffuser", since it's set pretty much in front of the screen, instead of above it. It, and the Puig, have transformed the bike into a quiet ride.

(. 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 have seen those advertised, does it look like it would fit over the lip on the OEM windscreen, in your opinion?
Thanks

Mine is a Powerbronze screen with no lip. You can get versions of the blade that affix by drilling the screen. I just wanted to try the 'Allen screw clamp' and it hangs on just fine. Cheap but nicely made. Werbung: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255672506580

Very interesting that Bearr's works when it sits parallel to the front, I wouldn't have expected that! Mine is above and to the front, angled perhaps 20 deg from vertical.

The other thing that made our trip a big success was a pair of Wunderlicht seats, no numb bums for wifey or me, I was surprised just how much better they were.

I use a Puig 6319 with my OE screen on the 1200 - the jaws of the clamp open wide enough for the first set of gel pads to slip over. There is a 2nd set of gel pads, these rest on top of the screen and the clamp itself grips the ridge. It's been fitted since 2016 and works fine. Possibly a photo of it in this thread somewhere.

https://puig.tv/en/tuning-motos/visors-a...#responsivetab4 - it's not the recommended fitment for the RS but works. I used it on a Yamaha before the RS.

I endorse the use of a laminar lip- especially for pillion riders. I took my wife for a ride the other day and the difference between a sport setting (lip down, screen on lower setting) and touring setting (everything up) was substantial. She said her head was right in the chaotic, unstructured wind when the screen was lowered, but very tolerable when raised.

(((((is that 475 (Whitter Gulch Rd and Upper Bear Creek) and 103? We'll check it out the next time we're in Colorado.
We like the Deckers Road south of Evergreen.)))))

I haven't been up Deckers for a while and it turns to dirt .... maybe they fixed that too ... We used to ride dirt bikes up there in the day. And I think they still do ...
The road I mentioned is 103, also called Squaw pass road and starts either at the main exit in Idaho Springs on I-70 (just turn toward up hill), or at Bergen Park on the road to Evergreen (road 74) from I-70. The Echo Lake/Mt. Evans road just follow the signs ... Also good to point out, heading down from Echo Lake at night the views are the best in the area imo with city lights, quite a surprise really as it is forested and the views just pop out from nowhere ..
You can also head down from Evergreen on 74 for another nice twisty road That ends near Morrison/RedRocks and Bear creek park. Many nice places to eat and drink in Evergreen and Morrison .....
And you can pick up the lookout mt. road off of I-70 just below the above mentioned exit to Evergreen ... A great afternoon ride to head up to Golden and follow the signs to the Lookout Mt. Road (which is also very twisty) and then up I-70 to the main evergreen exit and down to Bergen Park to the Squaw Pass road we've been talking about .....
There are a fair few Canyons with twisty roads all the way up and down the front range, many are not well known .... so without starting too far south from I-70 you have HY285, Bear Creek canyon, I-70, Clear creek canyon, Golden Gate canyon, Coal Creek canyon, Eldorado canyon, Boulder canyon, Left Hand canyon, Saint Vrain canyon hy36, The big Thompson canyon HY34, Buckhorn Canyon/might be dirt up higher, Pouder canyon, Red feathers canyon, All of this in less than a hundred air miles north and south .... I think ....
Other than the Deckers road and Rampart range to the south there is a break in Canyons so to speak for a ways until hy24 to the south.....
