well fitted the new MRA x creen last week and took it out for the weekend around Wales, like the flexibility of being able to change the deflection of the top part of the screen. is it better than the oem screen not certain as need to try more variety. the screen is certainly not worse that the oem screen and in fact is better with the position of the sat nav with the hornig mount.
the long and winding road perfect for a bike

Giving that some serious consideration but I'm trying to get used to the original as I love the look of the bike. My last bike was an RT with a screen like a Barn Door. I may crack as winter approaches! |

I am on the second to last travel day back home on what will be a 1600 mile trip from Houston TX to Eureka Springs AR and back and it is the first long trip with the MRA Multi-X-Creen MXC Motorcycle Windshield. Definitely an improvement over stock, flows a lot of air in the hot conditions, and with the spoiler which you can adjust it for so many combinations of angle of attack and also height, makes it a one-size-fits all windscreen for the RS. Very pleased.

I fitted the Wunderlich Ergo extension screen yesterday, I wanted something to reduce noise in the uppermost screen setting , a position I tend to use on dual carriageways and motorways but always suffer from the wind noise. Anyway this extension after trying multiple angle , height adjustments seems to have substantially lowered that noise (and keeps flies off my visor |
|
). The only downside is that the same set-up creates excessive noise in the lower screen position and I’m hardly going to reset the angle between the upper and lower positions. The purpose was to have a better screen whilst touring (France at the end of this month) so most likely I will remove the extension for shorter rides - a 5 minute task at most.

Compared to the bigger family members, R1200RT and K1600B, the RS with Puig Touring screen still looks sporty and not too "toury"... |

Nice steeds, Gaucho! My '16 RS came with a Wunderlich Touring screen. Never experienced the stock screen, but the W produced a little more 'Roaring" and very slight buffeting than I preferred. Heading into the winter months I decided to spring for a California Scientific XL screen. Large as a barn door, for sure, but a very smooth and relatively quiet place to spend a few hundred miles. In the upper position (in the upper holes) it absolutely made sub 30 degree weather tolerable, providing a still pocket of air. Now that we're in the lower 90's in NC (yeh, spring lasted a couple of days) already, the W is going back on. CS have a shorty that I'm looking at. Or if anyone has a "summer" screen they're happy with, recommend away! |

Got the MRA vario with adjustable spoiler. Tried a Powerbronze flip (510mm tall) when I first got the bike but wasn't totaly satisfied. The MRA Vario is much better and provides a more even flow around my helmet (178 cm, legs on the short side). came from a Kawasaki GTR1400 with a California scientific screen that was absolutely amazing conserning protection and calmness behind the screen. But as previous post in this thread, the CalSci screen is kind of a barn door and I do want the RS to look a little "sporty". |

I use the MRA “T” screen...bolted low for summer and high if we get any cold weather. I prefer the shape for both a clean flow of air and less of the “Transformer” look...

After a week’s touring in France I thought I’d update my findings on the Wunderlich Ergo extension screen. Overall I am pleased with it, the wind deflection is good and I have no buffeting with the standard screen in the uppermost position with this extension on top and adjusted to suit my height (185cm and using sports seat). There is however still wind noise around the helmet, I can drastically reduce this with a small “tuck” of my head, but that is not realistic for longer rides, oddly I could find no position of the extension screen that creates the same noise reduction without tucking - pity but I can live with it. On shorter rides during the trip I put the standard screen in the lower position and the extension neither improved or worsened the airflow in that position (adjusting the angle involves spanner work so nothing you want to mess with day by day), which is good as I enjoy the airflow and quietness in the lower position. |

IMG_0849.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)Having been through 5 screens (Sweete Jesus, there goes the foreign holiday money!) am now on the MSA X-creen. Still needs more testing and fettling before i make my mind up. Still struggling with what seems like excessive wind noise around my helmet. I think its due to the taper at the top of most screens not pushing the wind wide enough away from my shoulders (anyone got a wind tunnel i can borrow?? :-(). Only screen i haven't tried yet is a ZTechnik Vstream but at £176 for the cheapest i can find, i don't think it warrants a divorce just yet!! any ideas?? I'm 6'3 and 100kg and wide shouldered! no jokes please. |
