I bought the calsci screen from Nige as he is getting rid of his GTR... Well fitted it today after washing & polishing baby...

I had the original Kawasaki Tall Screen on and fitted the Laminar Lip to stop the buffering on my helmet.. I compared the 2 and the Calsci screen is wider at the bottom and taller by about 3". It is not as wide at the top as the Kwak screen so will et you know how I get on with it...

Another thing I noticed is that i does not come down as far at the front as the Kwak screen does..

Love mine Debs  :cool:

Compared to the original pile of crap it's like a different bike  :banana:

Debs

I hope so Bryn

I put the Laminar lip on the original screen to give me the height I needed... This one looks even better...  :banana:

That's the same screen that  have. It was on the bike when I bought it and I have the original screen but have never used it.

I'm 6'2 and with the screen at its highest I can  ride at up to 70 with my visor up. But at its highest Pam gets a buffeting!  but it keeps the wind and rain off me!

I did a FBOS course run by N Wales police and had a boy in blue looking at my screen and muttering about it being of a height  that C&U regs would require a wiper!

O.C.

Your new Calsci looks to have a flatter profile than the OEM screen Debs, maybe its an illusion

BTW Baby looks shiny  :yes:
BE KIND...

After doing 4 hours last night up to Luton airport and back, I wasn't impressed with this screen..

I felt less protected from the wind that I had with the original tall screen with the Laminar lip fitted..

I will be changing them back over asap..

Debs, i like the mirror covers in carbon, do the covers pop off, or are they fastened in some way.
get a grip and deal with it

They are held on by 4 clips that are part of the cover. use a small screwdriver and slowly take it off.. as it comes away you will see the clips. push the clips in slightly to free it. I then used carbon wrap that I got off fleabay

Do you think that the front end being higher up allows more air up inside the screen rather than being forced up the outside?

I like the look of the screen and also have a lip but if that's the issue I won't be buying one.

Patrick ... that is CLASSIC North Wales Traffic Police for you ..... they have a real and lasting reputation for being very anal ! I mean why would you look at a bike screen and think " Ohhh Yes ... that's going to need a wiper if it gets any bigger " !!!!!!!!!

Looks like an XL, they don't get much taller :-) Think mines a Large, I see they do a wide screen now http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/Concoursprod.html
