The head guards look quite interesting.

They do look tasty but a bit pricey @ $290 a set + shipping. I like the idea of the accessory mount on them though....
Ah - I didn't see a price
£100 I could live with - that's way too much.I'm also not sure that they haven't compromised their potential effectiveness by designing them so that you don't have to remove them to get the rocker covers off - seems they might not protect as well as they could - better to make them with more protection but easily removable .
That accessory mount looks a bit of red herring to me - right next to the exhaust and the hottest bit of the head - I'm not sure anything plastic / electrical would survive too long...

Demo screens
Well now, after a few ....interesting emails.....Z technik are to send a couple of screens over here for us to try before you buy, dont know what or how it will work,but form an orderly queue,and i'm 1st in line.
I'm hoping that the new screen will do it for me anyway.

Do you know if they provide a kit with it fro the GS or do you have to get the bits first from a GSA?

Update?
Hi Chaps,
Appologies for digging up this thread but I've just bought a 1150 GSA and am interested in one of these screens, did any one buy one ?
Any feedback good/bad and please could you let me have details of UK suppliers and cost.??
Thanks

No wonder............. that other screen looks like a dog's dinner
Best screen I've used is the MRA
Best screen I've used is the MRA
I've fitted an MRA screen last weekend and although a big improovement over the standard GSA screen, it is still noisy and alot of buffetting over 70mph 
I have just bought the 1150gsa and swapped from a 1200gsa which had the Ztechnik screen fitted............it was fabulous, no wind noise or buffetting and I could ride with my visor up at well over 70 no problem.
May be its the design of the 1150 as opposed to the screen fitted, any thoughts??

I like u thought the mra was an improvement.but not worth the money.I still would like to try z tecnik.i thought it looked ok.
Perhaps u could pester the supplier?
If it works ill buy one for sure.

Hi,
I got one of these last November:
http://shop.heroblobs.co.uk/collections/bmw-r1150gs/products/calsci-screens-for-bmw-r1150gs
It has been the dogs danglies keeping everything off me right through the winter. It fits using the standard screen bits n bobs.

ooh thats interesting
One of the boys said it looks like nelsons hat, but to be honest, who gives a shit?, function over fashion i say.
Did heroblobs sell it on sale or return?
and was it the standard height? or a taller one?what speed have you taken it up to?Theres quite a bit of science behind that screen.
I think the problem stems from the upper beak, i was gonna get an old one and saw it off and ride it again with no beak and see, but never got round to it, i have seen it done, it looks a bit odd, but so is the rest of the bike tbh.
