xxxxxxxxxxxxxking screens, dont get me started !!!!!!!
I regularly do 1 or 2 big trips into Europe to watch WSB or MotoGP (or both if calendar suits). Anyway, used to do it on an 03 Blade but switched to a ZZR14 with hard luggage for the security and convenience also slightly less cramped than the Blade. This year I treated myself to the ultimate in comfortable tourers the amazing GTR. It came s/hand with both the bigger screen and the standard. I have tried both in every position possible and still get buffeting so bought a standard size smoke tint with Vario adjustable spoiler off E-bay, still no better!! Saw a larger screen with an adjustable "deflector" on E-bay. Still no better and looks ugly (until I try to resell it when I will describe it in glowing terms!!) Wary of the big scereen Calsci due to excess strain at high speeds. This is the most comfortable bike I have ridden (780 miles last Sunday, Essex to Biarritz !!) but I have had to stop using mp3 player and put in earplugs to drown out the excessive tiring wind noise,the Blade and the ZZR were far better for airflow. My next(and last option) is to try another(clamp on not drilled) Vario spolier on my bigger screen(its that or an R1200rt ?????)

I must be lucky or something....

Got my 09 GTR a couple of weeks ago with a standard screen , got buffeted about like I was at a Status Quo concert  :embarrassed:

Got myself a Calsci screen in Large ... what a difference!  It was for me the difference between love and hate for the bike.... now I love it

O.C.

Standard screen with Laminar lip works just fine for me.

I can adjust it for quieter running on long motorway hauls, and still enjoy wind rush when I want a bit of noise/support when I'm not on motorways .[/b
