Zitat von littleade im Beitrag #17Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #16 Ruh-roh....  . Actually, I hope it works for you...it's a good design (the little curve near the top seems to enhance the protection). Let us know how it goes...it's the first screen I've ever had (and I have had MANY) the allowed me to enjoy a long ride. |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #18Zitat von littleade im Beitrag #17Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #16 So do I  I suppose I've been lucky with the 3 GS' I've had as the standard screen on those worked well for me so this must be a bit of BMW Karma, that or searching for the holy grail......

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #20Zitat von littleade im Beitrag #17Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #16 They do. I've been using my phone to access this forum, as I do with all the other ones I'm on and I'm still getting used to it's layout which I'm finding is not that easy to navigate (for me) using the mobile format. I've also tried using the standard format on my phone too but my old eyes struggle with the fine print! I have used the search function though not for everything. Maybe I need to use my laptop instead.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #20Zitat von littleade im Beitrag #17Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #16 C'mon, wessie, not everyone has the luxury of "time on their hands" like you do. Scrolling through old posts and parsing all the results of a search takes time. Asking a question gives the rest of the world a chance to display their knowledge, or at least their willingness to help a fellow rider. I saw an interesting quote a couple of days ago: "Don't blame lazy people...they didn't do anything." |

Zitat von littleade im Beitrag #21Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #20Zitat von littleade im Beitrag #17Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #16 Yes, use a laptop, which is my preference. I do use a phone from time to time, a Moto G31. I switch to std view and the phone seems to remember this now. I can see this fine but I do not like using the touchscreen for typing. Having used Vi to edit code in unix based systems in the 1990s, I like my keyboard shortcuts as well as the positive feeling of the keys moving. I don't bother taking the laptop or a tablet on trips. The phone does the job okay for 2 weeks away. The other advantage with the laptop is that the adblockers and things like Fbook Purity are much better at stripping out intrusive adverts.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #23Zitat von littleade im Beitrag #21Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #20Zitat von littleade im Beitrag #17Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #16 My trouble is my laptop is over 10 years old now and slower than I am which is why I tend to use my Samsung S20 plus. Also, while you were using V1 on unix based systems (whatever that is) I was still using pen and paper! It would be nice to have a more whizzy website but I appreciate due to it being a relatively small one that's unlikely to happen so I'll have to get used to this one now I have the RS. As Taylor Swift says I'm the trouble, it's me.... Back on track I'm not sure I'll like the Puig and if I do which tint I'd like hence ordering it from Sportsbikeshop as once it's here I can offer it up and if I don't like it this gives me a number of options inc sending it back or getting a different tint to try. Decisions decisions........

So, I ordered both the light and dark tints and tried them up against the bike today. SWMBO preferred the dark tint but I've gone for the light tint instead because with the lighter tint you can still see detail in the road in front of you that's "behind" the screen.

It looks good. Play around with the bolt holes and see what works best. I'm throwing on my MRA X-creen deflector today for the hell of it, to see if it makes any difference. I prefer the Puig clean (without deflector) for aesthetics, but functionality may win out if it means a more serene ride. So far, though, the Puig is the best screen I've had, on any bike. |
