Well I bought the Touring Screen plus with Extender (light smoke) as a whole package from Fast bike bits. Met a guy called Jos at the NEC show last year, very knowledgeable and helpful.

Well, cool...it's great when you can beat that RS original windscreen's nasty noise level. I've settled on the Puig Touring Plus mounted in the upper holes with an MRA X-creen mounted on the screen with the X'creen's arms parallel to the ground, and the angle matching the Puig's angle. In this configuration I've never needed to pull the screen up and leave it in the lower moveable position. I can't believe how much more comfortable riding the RS is with this setup. |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #21 My bike has the risers fitted. Also, a gel seat riser ( raises the standard seat by about 30mm). I am 6'2" tall. How would I get on with the Puig Touring Plus screen? |

Zitat von Bikepirate im Beitrag #22Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #21 I wish I could give you an empirical answer, but I'll offer some insight. I am 5'10", so 4" shorter than you, with a standard seat. I have the Puig mounted in the upper mount holes with the MRA X-creen deflector mounted as described earlier, but keep the screen in the lower of the 2 adjustable positions. In this setup, the wind passes over the top of my helmet by an inch (approx.). If I move the screen up, that raises it by 2 more inches. With your tall seat, you may not get wind over your helmet. I once read that if the top of your screen is between your upper lip and your nose when a line is drawn from the screen to your face, you'll have a good setup. In the position I have my screen, that's exactly where it sits and I have an almost ideal setup in terms of low noise and no buffeting. The MRA deflector is a HUGE part of this, as it "breaks up" the oncoming air and dilutes its impact. With the Puig mounted as described and the deflector off, I get some buffeting, so I know the deflector is instrumental in softening the wind's impact. The Puig is not expensive, so you could give it a try. Add a deflector and you're probably $250-275 in cost. Is it worth it? For me it was a revelation. I enjoy my rides now, where with the stock screen I hated even short rides. Good luck! |
