Windscreen question

[Disaster Area]

Hi all,
I'm about 6 feet tall and get a lot of buffeting from the screen on my 1100. I'm tempted to try fitting a taller screen to see if that makes any difference. Has anyone done anything similar? Am I wasting my time? Opinions greatly appreciated.

Got a Calsci screen and winglets on my 1150. Allows me to ride at all speeds with visor up. Still tiresome on the A Bahn.

But somehow I think the slab front of these bikes cause the main problems.

My jap streamlined bike doesn't have anywhere near the same sort of issues even though my helmet is completely in the airflow above the screen.

I'm 6'3" - over here a lot of 1100's have MRA screens fitted including mine. Not perfect but 100% better than the standard one.

Save yourself £15 and buy the 1100 MRA screen from Jaws - a member of this forum.

Yep, well worth doing, i'm 6ft+ and the change to a taller screen made a big difference

Another vote for the MRA, although I am only 5` 10``

MRA for me too, 6' 2".

I was talking to a guy in Canada this year with an aeroflow screen who absolutely raved about it, but they aren't the prettiest or cheapest of things.

for MRA

6' 4" and no significant buffeting even at motorway speeds. Don't know if I have been lucky, but the initial set up of these screens seems good, so haven't had to faff around with angles.

That's coz you can only drive 40mph in Guernsey otherwise you fall off the end of the island

When I got my GS1150, I noticed the buffeting (last year), lately have realised it was not a problem. Last weekend was cooler, & then I wear a body warmer on the top of my leather jacket, buffeting back. I guess it may be worth experimenting with what you wear before trying different screens?
