MRA Touring screen, anyone?

[africajim]

Jaqueslemac, you've far too much money! Gel seat indeed!

As you know, I use a sheepskin on mine, height of comfort for me and my passenger and only £10 from the local boot sale! (not so good when it rains mind you,,,,,,, ????? Ha ha!)

James, I'd be interested in that 2nd screen if you want a punter mate. Let me know the damage when, or if you get it. The wind noise on the Tiger is one of the worst I've ever encountered.

Err, somehow I've won both screens. They're described as "MRA" but not the Vario version.

After they've arrived, I'll PM you.

By the way, there's another one on eBay at the moment. Looks very tall!

Hi, I've got a MRA vario screen on my 1050 smoker and I'm 6' 2". its really good as it cuts down the buffeting and noise. much better than the triumph touring screen.

[Jacqueslemac]

The first screen arrived. Not MRA at all, but branded "Triumph".

Anyway, it's about 3" taller and as I'm only 5' 9" it makes quite a bit of difference. The buffeting no longer affects my shoulders or my face, but has moved to somewhere about my forehead.

I'm off to Wales on Friday morning, so will give it a good test over the 200 or so miles.

Jim, I'll let you know when the other screen arrives. Perhaps I could take it to the National if you're going?

I have the MRA touring screen for my 01 tiger. It is definetly better than the standard but i still find it too short and am going to take of the spoiler and make a larger spoiler for it. Africatipple has it on his tiger and thinks its brill, but then he is smaller than me. I am around 6.4 so its probably more me than the screen.

An adjustable MRA screen has just popped up on eBay.

For a 1050 unfortunately...

If I have any money left after buying the bits & bobs I need for the vacation, I might spring for the screen.

BTW, it's £5 cheaper on Triumph-Online.co.uk...

Ordered the MRA Vario from Triumph-Online.co.uk... Should be here tomorrow/Wednesday.

That's it, I'm all sorted for the vacation. Now all I need is two weeks of sunshine in Scotland, starting August 15th

Bless eBay. I'm now the owner of four screens for my Tiger!





Standard screen, Triumph touring screen, MRA screen and MRA Vario screen.
The photo above shows the various sizes.



This angle shows the differences in heights too.



The biggest difference, though is the curve. The Triumph touring screen is much more curved than either MRA screen.



I had the Triumph touring screen fitted when I went to Wales and back last weekend. It was a great improvement over the standard screen.

I've fitted the Vario screen and will try it out tomorrow.

I've received and fitted the Vario, massive difference! The curve did worry me when fitting, since I needed to tighten the screws quite a bit for the screen to sit nice & flush with the fairing.

But now it's on, I love it. Have the spoiler in the highest possible position, will try out other positions on the vacation.

I also think the Vario looks the best of the screens.

Now you just have to sell the rest of the screens

AndyEss might be interested, he had the stock screen on his Triumph...

Happy trails,

JB
