Welcome, and congrats on your new ride. The bar riser will definately make a difference. I've order the MV motorrad since they offered the most "stretch" 60mm upward, and 40mm back.
Some folks like the tiny windscreen, for the sporty feel and look, but I think it's the biggest flaw, since I used mostly as a TOURER.

Welcome to the mad house.

My RS is growing on me as I do more miles but agree with you on the screen, it works well enough for me but the noise off it is horrendous. I have been fortunate in having PAul B fairly local so have been working my way through his selection and settled pretty much on the MRA X screen which hopefully Santa will drop down my non-existing chimney.

Fugly, you should get yourself a chimney, RS for spring, summer and autumn and a wood burning stove for winter!!.....two of my favourite things.

We have had that discussion
But not sure the seasonal fatty would fit dowm 10 metres of 9" Stainless chimney

Dixy, I will have to look at the bar risers on yours, I was thinking about them for mine.

Aye the screen - I find it better down, I have a poorly neck and I find it supports my head and neck better - pressure I guess.
I got battered about with my old 2015 GS 12 adv, I was very disappointed going fast on that bike, it weaved like buggery when overtaking trucks and vans - never got used to that so it got traded in.

I,ve put bar risers and an MRA screen on mine and I find they work well together.

mickr7280, where did you get the MRA from?

cheers

I got it off ebay from Germany company called BIKEHPS £104.00 including post

HPS in the UK sell the MRA screen.
