99-02 Standard Screen Info Request

[Steve T]

Fellow XRVer's,

I am in search of the size of the standard screen fitted to the 99-02 Vara's.
The measurement I'm specifically interested in is the distance from the top of the screen to the bottom where it meets the headlights.

My latest Vara came with a Give screen which keeps the wind off me nicely, but it's just a bit too tall and I end up looking through it occasionally, due to road incline etc, and it's not a nice feeling trying to work out whats in front of you when the screens covered in rain.

I've got a really huge screen that came with a previous bike and I'm planning to cut it down to as near the original size as possible, so any help with measurements will be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance,

Steve T

Just been out and measured my standard screen that I bought by accident when I was actually after a touring screen, it's 21.5 inches in height from top to bottom, or 54 cms in new money!

hope that helps.

Thanks for taking the time to measure that Pete.

You say you bought a standard screen by mistake when looking for a touring screen!
Want to swap?
I'll measure the touring screen I was planning to cut down and let you know how tall it is if your interested.

Thanks again for your help.

Steve, sounds like a plan, you're welcome to the standard one if you want it, just so you know - it is a dark black one, not the clear screen, but size wise it's identical - looks very good on a black vara - and probably on a blue one as well!

Pm me your address if you still want it, I'm working late turns at the moment meaning I'm kipping during the day so as long as I wake up before the post office shuts I'll get it to you asap.

PM'd you Pete
