On my 900XR it had a little handle to adjust the screen which made it easier to adjust on the fly, has anyone found or made such a thing ? id be very interest as I think I need one |

If you have some skill, one can fabricate a handle to easily raise/lower the screen with one hand while moving. It’s a question of leverage. I’ve been able to do it with a gloved hand if I can grab one of the upper arms from the correct angle.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #4 IIRC someone retrofitted an XR handle with some machining to fit, posted pics too I personally find it much easier to raise while riding if pulling from the middle cross member and 'pushing' up and forward a bit - easier than outright pulling the top of it

I could use an aftermarket lever for the RS screen. I think the reason that there does not seem to be one available from accessory manufacturers is that it would not be just a matter of fabricating a simple lever to attach to one of the upper arms, which would stress the screen itself during operation The design would need some kind of interconnecting link between the two upper arms. There is more to the whole thing than meets the eye if you look at the parts diagram where you can see that the bottom two levers which are not visible, are actually interconnected. I wish one of the aftermarket manufacturers would come up with something.

Zitat von Lupo im Beitrag #8 For those wanting a link to the thread… Windscreen adjust with S1000XR lever.

Zitat von Steady Eddie im Beitrag #9 I messaged Phil about it and you're quite right nothing on his website, apparently it was down to ratio issues. I can only apologise. Soz

Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #11Zitat von Steady Eddie im Beitrag #9 I had the feeling it would be something of a design mission to get it right from a correct leverage perspective. I would like to see Lupo’s solution in more detail though. Difficult to see how he’s done it from his pic and description. Can you provide more detail Lupo? Having the nav mount above the TFT would also complicate matters.
