    MRA Touring screen, anyone?

    Does anyone have any experience with the MRA Vario touring screen for the Tiger?

    I'm thinking of swapping out the stock for the MRA, hopefully I'll suffer less buffetting that way.

    Let me know,

    I'm not sure what brand of touring screen mine is, it came with the bike, but when I first got it I put the standard one back on (thinking it looked a bike more cool) within a week the touring screen was refitted, I couldn't believe how much difference it made to buffetting (considerable less) not only that but considerably less flies on visor. My touring screen is about 6" taller that the standard.

    I've been bidding on a few on eBay recently and, as luck would have it, have won one and am still front-runner on another!

    As soon as the first one arrives and I fit it, I'll let you know. It's an MRA one but just 3" taller than the standard one.

    This might be og interest to you if your looking for a bargain, looks a bit shorter than mine though (although I might have exaggerated at 6" taller)

    Yep, that's the one I'm currently "winning".

    If I win both of them, I'll sell you one for the price I paid (plus postage, of course).

    The MRA is the screen with the added, adjustable, spoiler at the top. The one you're winning is the Triumph Touring screen which is indeed a lot higher than the standard.

    It would be good to learn your findings when it comes and is fitted. I'm 1.76 meters (5'10"?) and the wind around my head is doing my head in...

    I'm doing some more research on the MRA, as it looks a bit better than the Triumph screen and will let you know.

    I'm 6' 1" and although I still experience a bit of buffetting, its considerabley less with the tall screen.

    I'm 5' 9" so will let you know once I've fitted it.

    My gel seat arrived today. I've fitted it but not tried it out yet.

    Oooh, that'd be good too

    I have to stop thinking about farkles now, I'm getting dangerously close to emptying my bank account...

    Caught myself looking at the tyres yesterday thinking "Hmmm... maybe get some new ones"
