BMW R1300GS non electric screen and aftermarket options

Thanks Paul, I'll just order them from my dealer. IIRC there are 2 little cover plugs per side that I assume come off to reveal threads for the screws.

Seems like manufacturers are getting greedy when it comes to charging for small items. My Yamaha XT250 oil filter and cover requires 2 rubber o-rings, a large one for the outer cover and a small maybe 6-7mm inside the cover. I forgot about and had to return for the small one. It should have cost 25 cents but I figured they'd want $1 for it. It was $7.45! Just the tiny little filter and 2 o-rings were over $30. Yamaha must see what KTM and BMW get away with and figure they can as well.
 
Thanks for the reply, that’s good to hear. Did you try the standard screen in the upper of the two mounting positions first? I think that raises it by about 40mm. That’s interesting the quality of the WRS is better. Is it any wider than the standard screen?
I did try the o/e in the upper position and now have the WRS in the upper position. Big difference.

I went ahead and ordered a screen, I went for the Caponord Plus one, I can then take off the black winglets to give it a less cluttered look.
