I’ve never come across WRS, which is surprising as I thought I’d researched all! I tried the mid size v stream and didn’t like it, too much like barn door. I settled on Puig touring screen (7616) which whilst similar in height to stock, it has a slightly different profile and no lip in the edge, combined with the Puig screen spoiler. |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #1 Their website says 330mm tall, 340mm wide. "https://www.wrs.it/en/windscreens/344839-wrs-sport-dark-smoked-windscreen-bmw-r-1200-rs-2015-2018-0806881057634.html?utm_source=sniperfast&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=sniperfast-search&utm_content=BM072FS" |

Zitat von iooner im Beitrag #5Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #1 Thanks...don't know how I missed that. So, 13 inches tall (approx.)...that's short all right. |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #3Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #2 Sorry, I was mistaken. It is the touring screen that I have. https://puigusa.com/en/tuning-motos/wind...location_iso=US Yes, it's a little taller but it's also quieter overall and has less buffeting. It doesn't turn it into an RT by any stretch though.

The Puig sport screen in my garage is 300mm between the top V to the bottom “notch”.
Carpe Diem!

Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #8 Why are you not using the Puig sport screen? It seem it'd be good, being so small... EDIT: Just ordered a WRS "Sport" screen. 13" tall...3" shorter than OEM. Turns out WRS supplies Pramac Ducati, Mooney VR46, Yamaha and KTM in MotoGP, and BMW in Superbike. I'm a firm believer that shorter is the key to reducing wind noise, and if WRS supplies those names above, well maybe the product is good. Will soon find out...! |

Zitat von Mark im Beitrag #10 Mark - What is the measured height of your Cee Bailey screen, from the lower notch to the top? The WRS is 330mm, or 13". I am definitely in your camp...lower is quieter. Also, what is your personal height? I'm 5'10" and the stock screen, in the lower mounting holes and in the lower position is "almost" good, but a shorter WRS screen will, I hope, get me to where you are in terms of quiet, smooth airflow. Thanks. |

Zitat von Mark im Beitrag #12 That's about the same height as the stock screen. Interesting...thanks. This is the WRS screen I'm going to try (it's 13", so definitely shorter than stock): https://www.wrsusa.com/collections/r-1250-rs-2018-2022/products/wrs-sport-dark-smoked-windscreen-bmw-r-1250-rs-2018-2022 I did try the VStream "Sport" screen, but the noise was worse, and it was somewhat higher than stock... Interesting article here about wind noise...author says "go big...or go tiny": https://scenic.app/windscreens-and-other-causes-solutions-for-noise-and-buffeting-in-motorcycle-helmets/ |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #9Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #8 I’ve also proven to my satisfaction that a short screen makes for a quiet life. And also takes all the weight off my wrists. And gives me fresh air every day. Hence no need to try bar risers, tubular bars or any more screens. Way back in 2015 I played with a lovely taller screen, but eventually learned my lesson. The Puig only came in to my possession via an unexpected advert (good price), simply to give me an option in future. Most folk raise their eyebrows in horror at my custom (butchered) OEM screen.
Carpe Diem!
