GS Screens (1200)

[gremlin22]

New on here, but would appreciate any advice on the best type of screen for my 1200 GS. The standard screen just seems to direct the air flow direct onto the top part of my helmet and can't get a suitable position to deflect the wind. Any ideas out there, thanks.

Welcome to the site.

Screens, like seats are a very personal thing, what works for some will not work for others, i.e height and riding position need to be taken into account.

What I would say is that the GSA screen c/w the Winglets seem to fit most peoples requirements. But at what cost..............

The search button at the top of your page is your friend.

I'm still looking as well, but while there seem to be lots of solutions around at under £100, I'm not rushing to put hand in pocket, because for everyone who loves a particular solution, there seem to be two that it didn't work well for.

Why don't you head up the valley to Touratech and see if any of their bits (clip-on spoilers) suit you? If I lived as close to them as you do, I'd probably be up there every other week.

Have you tried the bike without any screen at all?

Less is more imo

Cee Bailey. Works perfectly and they are inexpensive.

Welcome to a huge topic - screens

I've a wunderlich ergo - very big and almost gives no buffeting

and a tiny wunderlich bikini cockpit fairing, which gives lots of clean air around your helmet but protects the clocks - it would be easy to cut a standard screen down to the same dimensions, and you can pick up a used 1200gs screen for a tenner.

Did a tour to the alps summer 08 and went with the bikini fairing just because its better (IMHO)

MRA Vario for me with Tobinators to alter the angle

 

[magpie]

i can recommend a Nippy Normans high and wide screen works great

hi guys im about 5"9 and found that givis high and wide screen with winglets is about as good as it get imo and a lot cheaper than adv gear

I put a GSA screen on my GS. It made a huge difference and the GSA bar gave me a place to put my GPS.

+1 Although expensive, the GSA screen plus winglets gives a lot of protection which has been appreciated this winter. Fixing my Garmin Quest mount to the screen bar (and dispensing with the RAM mount on the handlebar) was an added bonus- it's much easier to read and neater. Incidentally, this was possible using radiator pipe wall mounting brackets from Wickes (which have just the right screw spacing). Very stable although the brass does clash a little with the Aluminium...
