whats the general choice for larger screens, ive currently got the vario screen with deflector, its slightly smaller than the 2010 stock but still noisy, when i tuck my head down a bit the noise reduction is huge, so i gonna ebay that one out and get a larger than stock screen, what are my choices. Also how are the srcreens measured , when they say 64cm, are they meauring physical plastic or some type of elevated height ??

pics would be a bonus

thanks

Yup, same fit.

I'm 6ft and preferred the medium. The large didn't really give much more.

about as many times as tyres and oil threads  , beside ive already got one bit of info that i never knew before plus the offer of a free trial

O.C.

  :oops: Viper I wasn't having a 'pop' at you..my point is that this is one of the most frequently asked questions  :wink:

Anyway it seems the 2013 model has a taller (70mm) screen which is also wider....maybe Kawasaki do listen after all  :mfr_lol:

Tried the vario. Needed to be 2" higher in my opinion.
I should be able to drop one of the screens next week.

i didnt think you were , not at all

i am 5.11 tall and find the screen to be noisey so i have just got a smaller screen  and are going to try that .if the wind pressure is all the same on a biger area then maybe there will be not as much  flapping noise .  we shall see .

viper

mmmm , you are getting a smaller screen to be less noisey, let us know how you get on

nightrider

i shall be out on sunday as i am going to new york raceway to have a go at the rwb   took my zzr11  and did a 11.34    zzr12   10.80  so shall see what i can do . if any body else fancies it. it is near melbourne   york    £10 to get in and £30 to blast down the strip .   weather permitting . my thought on the screen is that when you have a naked bike  yes it has wind blast but you don,t get the flapping noise that i am getting ..........

I have a GIVI screen which i had on my 08 / 59 models it is a tall as the standard 10 model and had a slight flip on it, really good screen. PM me if anyone is interested.
get a grip and deal with it
