    Having just purchased 2015 Tiger Sport I would like to explore the options for screens. I just did a nice little 270km trip through Northern New South Wales and found the buffeting and noise quite severe.
    Any ideas for alternative screens. I understand it is an issue.
    Cheers Nick

    I'm experimenting with a wind deflector. Seems to work quite well.

    My experience of screens and all the anecdotal evidence is that the individual rider counts for more than any wind tunnel or personal recommendation. I won’t pretend to any particular TS knowledge....

    The biggest thing seems to dirty air spilling over the screen into the helmet and buffeting. Screen height seems barely more important than smoothing the air flow and screen splitters/spoilers at the top where you can experimentally tune the gap with washers seems to produce the best outcome.

    Interesting, I had seen that clip before. I think I do need some more experimentation, only problem with the Chinese screen are the fittings, mine are now held with cable ties so adjustment is not so easy.
    Thanks for your input.
    Cheers Nick

    I seem to remember it even makes a difference wearing a visor on the helmet itself......and which helmet.
