Title: Windscreen
Post by: Tex on October 22, 2013, 04:47:01 PM
Hello all,
 
  Ok so I have a dilemma and was hoping to get some advice. I'm looking at the power bronze flip screen and am worried it might block my field of vision. Fred has already replied to me but he has a 89 and wasn't sure if the screens were different. I am 5'7" so not sure if this windscreen will come up to high. I also am looking at the MRA Vario touring screen with the spoiler on it which is 4" shorter. So I need some advice on what to do.  :dash2: any help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone own the MRA?

Thanks

Scott

Sorry guys I didn't see the recent post about windscreens in the mod section. Although after reading all the posts I still don't know what to order.  :dash2:

IMO, They are a trial and error proposition, and a personal preference. One type of screen works great for one rider and sucks for another. One windscreen is awesome for a rider that is 6'2" and makes a 5'8" rider's helmet howl with wind noise, or what works for a 5'7" rider is terrible for a 6'4" rider.

My advice is to pick one that you "think" you may like. If it works, great.  :yahoo:, If it does not, :empathy3: list it here on the forum and somebody will buy it. Order the next type of windscreen on your list.

Fred

Whenever this question arises, people always quote their height. I am 5'10", my brother is 5'5", we both have the same inside leg measurement. If he sits on my bike, his head is in the same place as mine.
