Mine hasn't arrived yet. Am i expecting too much to be wafting along in a silent bubble?
You will be needing a car for that to happen.  :listencarefully: YES. :mfr_lol:
What would you rather be   or a wasp?

ive got the calsci screen fitted and its great, but its huge and it is a barn door and looks stupid, I liked the look of the puig and bought it on an impulse at 140 quid late last year. Its not tinted and im not sure you would want a tinted one, at times you may have to look through the screen at its full height and also having a large tinted screen is very visable and screams large screen, at least if its clear its much less noticeable.

I decided that there is no substitute for a barn door and put my comfort over appearance , I do have to say that the curve of the puig looks the best of all the screens, the nicest of the bunch to look at

If you need any dimensions I can provide and I could even take a side by side pic v the stock . With dimensions you could make a cardboard one to see its footprint. You could always even come over on try it on the bike , cant let you test ride it though , its still in original packet with stickers still on it

Thanks Viper,
I'll keep your kind offer in mind - it might be that i'm asking for the impossible but if i hunker down there is a quiet spot so it should be achieveable with the right screen.

 I have a car because I need one, I have a bike because I WANT one. When did anyone last go for a 'pleasure drive' in a car- that's the difference.

:agree:

I use the jeep through the winter and when I go fishing the amount of fishing gear I carry would need to alter the rack and panniers on the GTR  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

So back to consumer advice...

The MRA screen is no different to the standard 2010 screen.

Ok advice needed.
I have the standard screen fitted to a 58 plate GTR, great in the lowest position but when I raise it I get buffeted by the wind and feel as though I'm being pulled forward.
I am six foot any suggestions.
Thanks

My next bike will be a convertible and believe you me, that will be a car for driving with pleasure in the spring/summer/fall months...  But now I have three four wheeled vehicles and none of them are really driven for pleasure.

Hello,
I have a barely used MRA screen for sale. It will be better than the 2008 standard as it does have the extension on it. it's no different for me as the 2010 has a larger standard screen anyway and the MRA is about the same.
:smiley:

You need something like the C Bailee's screen. A good few inches taller than the 2010 standard GTR screen. I'm only 5'11" but the aftermarket screen made all the difference. God knows how riders get on when they're 6'4" + :mfr_lol:

Its a shame that Kawasaki didn't address this seriously with the introduction of their 2010 model.

I haven't got one at all now as I switched to the K1600 a few months ago. I had the one on the right, The Euro Tour screen & it worked a treat. http://www.sportouring.com/gallery.php?sectionHeaderActive=200&rangeChoosen=540
