I see from some photos a few have the jester screen extender, got mine but the velcro is shite, not sure if it was contaminated in the post but it would not stick bog roll.
How have you attached yours to original ? I don't want to start drilling really.
 
I drilled and self tapered mine into an old scratched headlight shroud. I put the lack of adhesion down to the hot weather otherwise I might have considered using

Let me know your address and I will put some more in the post.

I have had my screen on the bike for about 12k miles and never had it come loose. It is important to thoroughly clean the area and degrease with brake cleaner before sticking it though. What I do find is that the velcro will sometimes peel off a bit as you remove the screen from the bike. The solution to that is not to remove the screen. The advantage to the velcro over drilling is that you are not making any permanent changes.

On the other hand if you used a couple of longer bolts at the top with something to act as a spacer, a cm or 2 of pipe for example, and a single short bolt at the bottom you could adjust the angle of the screen. I have thought about doing this a few times but never got round to it. I was trying to think of a way of testing it out without actually drilling the headlight shroud.

Ok Iain, will do address via adv rider site, the Velcro was well stuck to the screen but the protective film was just falling off as if it was oil contaminated, it had no adheision left at all. I use meths to clean, tastes nice too :jager
