Vintage Tiger Part 2 of refurb - new screen

Hi peeps, just received my new screen this morning and installed it on the bike. It's called an MRA VarioTouring and comes from Germany. Cost 110 euros delivered.

Here are some pics:







I've tried the aerofoil in various positions and for me 6'1" second to lowest seems to be about the best. I used to have an Ermax Touring screen on before. The wind blast protection wasn't bad but the turbulence and noise were atrocious. This new set-up is loads better, to the extent that I found myself going significantly quickly, more easily. Turbulence and noise are down by - at a guess - 80%? Loads more comfortable.

Got it from here, if anyone is interested:

Thanks mates, I reckon it does look good, but equally importantly it will make travelling long distances more comfortable and less tiring - which justifies the cost imo.

 

Hi Coleser, before you do anything else may I suggest you try all the positions of the aerofoil - it's makes quite a difference.

I found with mine it was best at the next to lowest position. I'm 6'1" and for me that works fine. If I try it on the higher positions it buffets more and more.

 

Hi Eric, the way it feels at the mo' is that I won't need to make any 'cuts'.
