Cee Bailey screen

[blackburnlee]

Anyone tried the Cee Bailey screen? From what I can see from their website it looks pretty good and it is both wider as well as being taller.

Thurs far I've tried the Touratech spoiler which does help, as do the Tobinators, but the lack of width is still a problem.

Any thoughts?

I've got the tallest, widest Cee Bailey on mine. Not impressed. (I had one on my RT before, and was very impressed.). I bought the +6" height, +4" width. Lots of turbulence around my head. I'm 6'2". I bought the Tobinators, and they helped. If you're looking for more width protection, you might also check out the new Parabellum. I briefly rode a 1200GS with one Saturday, and it was better in that regard. Still too much turbulence on my head, for my taste. It did not have the Tobinators. The Cee Bailey is relatively thin material, and flexes like crazy on the road when you pass trucks.

Cheers for that. I think I'll save my money for the time being.

Cee Bailey's screen - disappointing.

Oh no, not that subject again!
FWIW, I have been fiddling about with my recently purchased Cee Bailey's screen (2" wider, 3" taller) with and without Tobinators, up and down, in and out and I must admit, it is currently a bit of a disappointment. I've tried lying on the tank in a stunt pose with my feet stretched out the back, wearing an aerodynamic styled cycling helmet and Teflon covered leathers and riding at walking pace, and it still feels uncomfortably noisy.
I am rather a strange shape and too tall to be called human, and when the screen does reduce the buffeting a bit it produces a more constant wind noise. For the money though, it hasn't been the revelation I was hoping for. Plus, it took a lot of whittling and reaming to get the thing to line up with the front pivot point and the left hand knob is not seated terribly well.
Sorry if that annoys all you Cee Bailey's success stories, but it's been a slight disappointment here.

Nippy Norman Screen

I just came back from a 6,500km jaunt to the MotoGP race at Laguna Seca in California. Prior to leaving I installed a Nippy Norman windscreen in a dark tint. I cut the windscreen down to almost stock height (don't like looking through a windscreen and wanted a tinted screen - cut 150 mm off) This is a great screen. It fits well and is thicker than the OEM. With it cut down I can honestly say their is no turbulance - I'm 6'-3" It also looks much better than the original BMW screen.

Howard's screen is too big. My Cee Bailey is the one they recommend, 4" taller and 2" wider. No flex what-so-ever and MUCH better than the stock screen.

sounds good to zxrcy, any chance of a look at your modified screen ????

Nippy Norman Screen

My bike with the cut down screen is at the bottom of the page on Nippy Norman's web site. I cut the tall one down with great results. Norman has had a lot of requests for the shorter screen so he said he is going to offer it as an option.
