    Adjustable Screen Mount - Help needed

    Have been missing in inaction for a while, sorry to turn up unannounced, are there any biscuits left?

    Right, the tale so far. I had been corresponding with Mark of Madstad in the US badgering him to make an adjustable bracket for the FI Vara, many photos, measurements and hints later ................. silence.

    In the interim an enterprising gentleman Palmer Products has come up with a UK made version for a few bikes and I have recently been chatting about doing one for the Vara. Photos sent measurements sent and he is quite keen to do one but needs a guinea pig or hamster or other small rodent .

    Being in Singapore now and not having a Vara in the UK I can't help.

    Volunteers one step forward at the double

    Anybody willing to drop by his place to let him do his evaluation? I think he is in Wiltshire, best drop him a line through his website if you can. I will be eternally grateful if it comes to fruition and will buy you a Tiger beer when we meet, sorry they don't make Varadero beer that I know of.

    He didn't say how long. I would guess an hour or so would probably be enough just to confirm measurements, maybe a follow up visit to test fit and make final adjustments.

    Unfortunately there is nothing on his website about where he is exactly, maybe because he works from home he doesn't want it to be general knowledge. I did ask last email but he didn't respond to that question. There is no phone number either so best just to try email.

    I have had problems with the URL a couple of times too, sometimes it works, sometimes not

    Thanks for the interest chaps, I have nothing to gain from this other than hopefully being able to buy a hand adjustable screen to reduce the buffeting and stop me slouching
