1200GS MRA screen

[BigNige]

If like me, you find the stock 1200GS screen awful then you'll have maybe been looking for alternatives.

I've tried Tobinators - helped but didn't cure it totally for me although I do know others rave about 'em. (I'm an odd shape)
Secdem screen - helped but set it's own weird noise up and looked ungainly
Wider aftermarket screen - didn't do an awful lot tbh.

Now the waiting is over - MRA have finally brought out a Vario screen for the 1200GS.
If you've used one on an 1150GS you'll know, like I do, how utterly brilliant these screens are.

HPS are the distributer in the UK and do them for £105.

They're not shown on the website yet (it shows the aerofoil version at the mo') but if you ring 'em they have them in stock.

This is the 1150 version

The upside of all this is that I'll have a load of aftermarket screens etc for sale as soon as I fit the MRA one.

Excellent, cheers for that Gilbert.

Got one on my 12.
Bought 2nd hand off this site.
Reasonably impressed.

I find that the improvement over standard is less than on the 1150, but I find the standard 12 screen to be better than the standard 1150.

Standard screens

I agree that the 1200 screen is better than that on the 1150 but have to admit that I have little problem with either; I had long correspondence with a friend in the UK who could not tolerate the buffeting etc. of his 1150 screen and eventually changed the bike for an RT. I tried at great risk to my 'permit de conduire' to get this buffeting but all was quite tolerable until I was around 100mph - and if you go faster than that in France nowadays you are looking for trouble. I did read a theory that a tank bag (which I always have in place) fills the gap between screen and body and cuts down the turbulence - anyone find this?

 

[MIKE R]

Never had any problem with buffeting, more with wind noise.

I wonder if it is partially a type of helmet thing.

Just changed my Schuberth Concept (after 5.5 years and over 50k miles) for a C2.
