2023 NC750X DCT

Palmer Products is a new one on me - I see they are based in Lincs. A UK version of the MadStad concept.

I used the palmer products adjustable screen system and chose the optional nav bar. Mounted a givi KTM 890 screen on the brackets ( because I had one lying round ) and used a four button BMW cradle to mount my nav 6. I took the switched live from the 12v socket in the frunk.
Really solid system and very little wind noise.

I don’t have a 12 v socket unfortunately

If you are still searching for a switched supply for your Nav, I seem to recall someone mentioning that on the latest bikes it is taped/velcroed to the front fairing subframe, close to the wiring from the left/NS indicator - I could be wrong, but simple enough to check.

I had a Palmer screen on my 1190Adv. Worked really well with a small spoiler on it

Thanks for that. I’ll have a look at the weekend.

Well done Ash.

Ash, mine did just the same around 75-78mpg until around 1000 miles or so, thereafter regularly 85mpg+

I’m only just getting 68 mpg on mine at the moment. Just over a thousand miles on it.

Yep, grey with black wheels is the way for the discerning gentleman.
Lovely bike, looks terrific.

Just a quick update.
I replaced the original short screen with a Puig touring screen which was a big improvement.
Still a bit noisy around the helmet though.
I’ve taken the plunge and bought a palmer products screen adjustment kit. It has about 8 positions and allows different heights and angles.
When fitted at the lowest position it’s about 30mm higher, so much room for adjustment.
It does leave a large gap between the instrument binnacle and the screen though. Try it out tomorrow on the way to Scotland.
I’ll put up 3 pics
1. Puig on original bracketry
2. Puig on adjustable frame.lowest position
3.in highest position
