    Screen this!

    Anyone seen, or bought, or even tried one of these before??

    I'm definitely committed to trying to improve the wind deflection on the @ and not too sure what would be best. Looks alright .. I think....

    I'm only 5'10" so maybe I'll be ok with that. Is it good quality & does it rattle about t speed?

    I found it to be well made and no noises or movement at speed! Been out in some really crap weather on it too and it was fine!

    Not flimsy or cheap feeling at all - IMHO!

    im 6ft 3" and had the toratech clip on one and ended up taking it off as the wind buffeting was worse than without the extra screen


    only thing now is the rubber round the outside of standard scren keeps working loose

    Mine too, came off completely at 140kph on the last trip, managed to trap itself in my helmet and goggles. Produced one of those rare and unexpected "buttock clenching" moments. Now glued down securely with clear adhesive, not superglue though, as I believe that would b*gger up the windscreen.

    ...er..I mean...

    Reading this lot however has just brought to my attention the fact that I don't have the rubber on mine at all? So some other poor bugger probably also has a length of rubber trapped somewhere about there person or vehicle

    I have it.
    All i can say is : On the roads it`s awesome. No turbulence,no excessive wind. Helmet is bug/fly free

    But. When i`m in the forest,it`s hard to watch the road ,when a huge glass is blocking you.

    When the temperature is above 25 degrees (C) .I have no air to breathe. Because it blocks everything.

    And when it rains. my helmet gets still wet,but with no wind,the water will stay on the helmet visor. And I cant see a sh**.
    Luckily it`s adjustable
