MRA screen (with 1150 GS fittings) works best
Or some Tobinators with your GSA screen

looking for a spoiler

Don’t bother
The 2 options I have recommended will work better than any spoiler
There are only 2 definitive corrections to 1150 GSA Screen woes and those are the solutions that I have advised
You can waste money on spoilers & go around in circles and then still be disappointed
Up to you ?
I have been riding 1150’s since 2000, so 24 years and 1150 GSA since 2005 and still have them
Zoom in on this pic and see the MRA screen on my 2005 bike

Sorry JB, but some things have changed over the years and I found the best solution for me has been winglets, which weren’t around when you and I were originally suffering the same problem.

Rob - Tobinators are like unicorn shit these days, but do sometimes come up for sale here or on eBay.

I rode down to the Dordogne this summer after fitting winglets and they were brilliant, but I have a GSA screen and tank fitted on a 2000 model GS

theres a mra screen on ebay at the moment on a standard gs, he said on the sides i needed the bigger wider blocks but i think i have them with the tobinators now
so mra doesn,t do 2 screens 1 for a gs and a different one for the gsa, if its a 1150 gs screen it,ll fit both bikes

MRA works on similar mounting blocks as GS screen and not the wider blocks of oem GSA screen

 

[bim3330]

rob

 

[bim3330]

can you but the standard gs mounting blocks then if my gsa mounting blocks are to wide for the mra screen

rob

 

[bim3330]

motorworks look like the mounting blocks are the same for a gs and gsa if you look at the link this block looks wide but it fits both

hi jonnyboxer
right can you confirm that mra screen is fitted using your standard gsa blocks as motorworks are saying the mounting blocks are £66 each and the gs ones are different to the gsa ones, i don,t want to buy a second hand mra screen off ebay and find i need to buy £130 worth of scrren blocks

rob

 

[bim3330]

MRA screen (with 1150 GS fittings) works best
Or some Tobinators with your GSA screen

can i ask what the 1150 gs fitting are that i need for the mra screen

rob

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

or ok

so i need the standard gs mounting blocks then so it will not fit

rob

Standard GS mounts
Then MRA screen will fit
