Yea got one from Hornig http://www.motorradzubehoer-hornig.de/en/016_01757__BMW_R_1200_GS_Adv_HP2__Windscreen_Adventure.html and fitted it myself. It is really brilliant, can ride with the visor up (not a great idea in this weather) but it does show how much protection it provides. It really looks well on the bike. It was pricy but I feel it is worth it.
I had both GS1200 & GSA1200 and have fitted nippy norman tall screen to both. Much better protection alround. Screen needs to be modified to fit the GSA12 but that easy with a sharp hacksaw.

Higher, wider and more rigid with the additional support bar, have just fitted one on the new bike but not had a chance to try it out yet.
I do know that their are lots of options out there which are superior to the standard screen (MRA Vario for example with the sliding upper section) which are a lot more cost effective than a new GSA screen.
The Dieserto 111 screen and cockpit unit is more expensive than a GSA screen and superb for providing still air and protection. If it would have fitted the 2008 model of th e bike I'd have kept it no question.
Thanhs for reply,agree does look good on bike,but where do they get that price from ?

Don't know if it helps with your comparison, but I can say that the GSA screen plus winglets is great for me at 5'11". Certainly not something on the bike that I'd care to change, unlike the screen on the standard GS. That said, I got my previous GS up to spec using tobinators.

THe mark up on BMW bits is massive! I ordered a single 6mm bolt for the luggage system and nearly dropped when I found it was £2!

I've got a Nippy Norman High Wide screen on my 1200 and it makes a huge difference, definitely worth it.

I have had a Desierto III and must say this: The looks are great, but never had the "pocket of silence" with it. On a windstill day it is rather good, but with a little (side) wind it gets noisy and turbulent. No matter what position you put it.
I would rate it above the 12GS screen, more on the same level as a standard screen + spoiler like.
