After a number of months riding with the Puig "Touring Plus" windscreen, both with, and without, the MRA deflector mounted on it, I have come to the conclusion that how a bike "looks" is irrelevant in the context of how it feels to the rider. Having ridden for many years the BMW S1000RR, a hot looking bike, to be sure, I now ride the more sedate (in some ways) RS, and do so with a tall windscreen on it. Does it look a bit "off" with a tall screen? Perhaps. But having experimented with short screens that look cool, but perform poorly, I can now say I don't give a rat's ass what the bike looks like, if I have smile on my face when riding it. With the Puig + MRA combo (that I've finally settled on), riding the RS is a relaxed and happy experience. Does that Puig/MRA combo look strange? Maybe a little...but if you believe "form follows function", then it's a thing of beauty. |

The ideal is to do the job and look good doing it, but I agree. Especially if one does all day rides.

I agree, I've got the same set up as you, was looking at the bike in the garage the other day and was thinking it is a long screen and looks too tall, but I think the mount points are quite low down compared to some other bikes, so its actual top position is not overly high. Have mined mounted in lower holes on lower setting. |
