Just purchased one of these after reading every thread on screens on here.

hope it works as well as you say. will keep you posted.

Not to worry if it doesn't.  I'm sure you can sell it for half the price including shipping to someone on this forum.

Yep

I had a MRA screen and although it was a tad better than the 2010 stock screen a quiet bubble its most defiantely not, ive had 5 screens on the bike and the conclusion is there is not substitute for sheer size, the bigger the quieter in my experience

Mra screen fitted tonight.  It's tiny!
Will let you know how it is tomorrow.

OK MRA screen fitted yesterday. so far no massive difference from the standard one. (i've only done 4 miles and to be honest not got out of 3rd gear.) more details to follow

MRA screen is no different at all to standard 2010 screen.
Disappointed

sorry to hear that , I found a slight improvement but not as much as id hoped

try and send it back unused .

ive got a brand new puig you can have for £90 , its a lot bigger

i'm just down the road! why aren't you using the puig? is it tinted? i don't want to be sat behind a barn door but i also am convinced there is a quiet spot to be found at motorway speeds with the right screen.

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

Another vote for the Calsci. I bought the large wide one second hand on ebay. I've got used to its looks now, and the size of the Gtr makes it look reasonably  in proportion. Its not perfect, but gives enough air flow in summer and protection from the elements in the winter. Overall, a very good screen. You won't be the first on here to buy several screens before you find one you like. I believe the spoiler you fit to your original screen  with Velcro is also effective... sorry, forgot the bloody name of it..... Debs will know!

Just ride with the standard screen in its lowest position.

The only time I raise mine is if it is chucking down with rain and then I wouldn't want a barn door in my eye line.
