Can anyone recomend an aftermarket screen for my 1100GS,
my main problem is wind noise, i know some of you remove the screen but i did'nt want to lose the protection.
I am 6' 3" & yes i wear earplugs.
Any links to past threads welcome.
Thanks
Brian.
 
I've got a Wunderlich split screen. I'm 6'2" and I find it wonderful. Used to get my head damn near ripped off on previous bike with a shorter screen. With this screen it's a pure joy. Very little buffeting and no ear plugs.
 
I made my own 'laminar lip' using an old helmet visor.It sounds crap but works very well . Basically it smooths and accelerates the airflow as it leaves the top of the screen, which is the point at which the airflow breaks up and causes buffetting.

I now have a set of 'tobinators' and an 1150 screen, which are better again. I've modified my mountings to enable the screen to be adjusted while riding - anything from almost upright to laid down touching the clocks ( ie town or m'way )

It depends if you want the barn door areodynamics or smoothed air depending on what screen you go for.

Remember, the larger the screen the worse your fuel consumption.
