The chrome windscreen is the one I did the original write up on. I also made one using the clear iridium for Chris O'Sullivan in England.

There is also a larger double bubble available for the CBR that I tried. Darran Taylor in Australia used one that is similar.

The one I have is for sale.

I'll probably order a few variables of those screens in the future. I'm currently in the middle of a move so I'd need to wait until I get situated in my new place and get my shipping address changed and make sure I'm there to receive things and what not. I'll receive the Gustaffson screen in a few days so I'll have time to drill and mount it then give it a go.

There are a couple of options for a larger windscreen. A word of caution...... :shok: They are on the expensive side.


Option 1.... MRA TouringScreen windshield.

Option 2.... MRA VarioTouringScreen Windshield.

Option 3....Ermax High Screen Windshield

Option 4....Powerbronze flip screen
http://www.powerbronzeusa.com/searchedproducts.aspx?maketext=YAMAHA&modeltext=FJ1200&yeartext=89

I have used all 4 of these windshields on my 1989 model. They all work well and deflect varying amounts of air. The MRA VarioTouring screen deflects the most and the Ermax deflects the least.

I am 5'7" tall and I use the MRA VarioTouring for the cooler months and the Ermax for the summer months. Keep in mind, individual height along with the use of a stock seat versus a Corbin seat and handlebar risers all factor in on how well a windshield works for each individual. At 5'7" tall the OEM windscreen has my head looking like a bobble head doll at 70mph. The MRA VarioTouring and Ermax high screens allow me to ride at 85mph all day long with no buffeting. If you are 6'4" tall, the results WILL be different.

The photos are in the option list order.

I have the MRA vario screen on mine, as I have changed the Se sting position to more upright I found the original vario flip just out of head height. I emailed BIKEHPS in the uk (highly recommended) and found out there was a bigger version "flip" attachment available. I put this on and it's brilliant. Various position options and wind flow can be either in your face or restricted.
