Re: Givi screen or MRA screen with winglet ?

When you say MRA screen with winglet which screen are you on about ? is it the one with the little spoiler or is it the other MRA screen which has a much larger section that is adjustable,

I would like to know as I would like some way of cutting down wind noise and buffeting on my 04 vara
Thanks,
Ian.

I have experience of neither having fitted a skidmarx flip screen (a good bit cheaper than MRA or Givi). Keeps the wind off fine and reduces noise dramatically. Sadly it does nothing for the flatulence.

Re: Givi screen or MRA screen with winglet ?

Does anyone know where I can get an MRA vario screen for an 08 Xl1000v. I have searched the net and any I find are for up to 07 models.

thanks

I have some additional measurements to send to Madstad and then he should be sending me a prototype to test. I'll keep the forum updated.

Re: Givi screen or MRA screen with winglet ?

I have installed a Laminar lip on my original screen, there was a substantial improvement. I thought I would improve the situation some more and ordered a MRA. I installed it today and I am very disappointed. It looks great but It doesn't do much for me. I'm 6'3' -4 tall. I'll try it a few more times but it looks as if I will put the original screen with the lip.
It cost $218 (Cnd), delivered to the house. If anyone in Canada is interested in buying it, make me an offer.
