Tuning and modding » Replacement screen

I actually got out on my RS today for the first time. Overall I'm really enjoying it so far but the OE screen has to go

I've got the tubular bars with a low seat as I'm 5'7" with a 29" inside leg and as you'll probably guess the screen is not leeping the wind off my helmet.

I wear glasses and rode my GS with my visor open just a bit to prevent it steaming up, but the RS screen doesn't provide enough protection for me to do that as it makes my eyes water so if you'd like to recommend a replacement that will give me the wind protection I need please feel free.

My OE screen measures 48cm x 41cm and so far I've looked at the MRA Vario though that's the same size?

And the taller Puig one thats 55.5cm x 40.5cm

Thanks, I'll have a look in that section

You do have the screen mounted in the upper set of holes?

I'll second Wessie comment in the Puig deflector. Maximum benefit for the cost and you can tune it to your preference.

Nooooo, not another screen thread!
Puig screen and deflector for me.

Oh I love a screen thread - bring it on !

I assume you have seen @BEARR 's 19 page dissertation on the subject?

Correction: Puig Touring Plus is $153 at Revzilla.

Yes, I've just looked and it's in the top set of holes

Bit of an exaggeration there, wessie...I only wrote part of that thread...

But for the new owner on the tricolor RS, I can only say that after many (MANY!!!) screen experiments, I settled on the Puig Touring Plus screen. Yes, it is a bit tall, but it ticks all the boxes for me. I'm 5' 10" and have the screen mounted in the upper mount holes. When I pull the screen to the upper position, I have complete quiet. I can ride with my face shield fully open. In the lower of the 2 variable positions, I get a little wind on my face shield, but still much, much quieter than the OEM shield, which I found to be horrible.

The only downside I found with the Puig is when temps get up around 90F. Then it gets warm behind the screen when in the upper variable position. For me, that's not an issue...I don't ride a lot when it gets super hot. But ventilated textile jacket and a wick dry shirt underneath lets me ride at 90 degrees without excessive discomfort. The quiet, though, is unreal...never have had so quiet a ride.

Puig Touring Plus, at around $125 at Revzilla is a bargain. I got the light smoke tint, and with the Triple Black of my RS, the screen blends beautifully with the bike's architecture.

Good luck to you!

Good luck indeed! 90F, I had to look that up as we're not used to that sort of heat here in the UK 🤣 I do have a mesh suit for the very rare occasions it gets hot enough to wear it. The noise isn't a major concern for me as I didn't find that to be a problem yesterday (I wear earplugs anyway) it's thre amountnof air/turbulance that's getting into my helmet when my visor is slightly open that the problem.
