Laminar Lip

[O.C.]

I ordered a Laminar Lip from Heroblobs which arrived promptly on Friday, its a straightforward job to fit and took about ten minutes, making sure the screen was firstly correctly cleaned and the adhesive mount correctly installed, I'll follow Debs good tip and permanently secure the lip later.

Yesterday a trip to the Blackpool Kawasaki Triples rally was a good opportunity to put it to the test with some good A roads plus some motorway use and I can report that it has made a considerable difference to lessening wind noise especially on motorways where its now possible to almost enjoy open visor cruising with the screen fully extended. I haven't been able to try it with Gill as pillion as yet so we'll have to wait and see

The cost ? well it was 70.50....money well spent in my opinion

That's good to hear, then I won't bring my spare one to the meeting next week cr you to try.

I reckon it's the best extra I have added to my bike over all the rest, just steps the air up above higher and makes it more comfortable.

I am still undecided about the lip adding.
On flea-bay there is a MRA vario screen with the lip already fitted for £114 delivered
  ( my screen does not have the vent like yours O.C. So not that problem. )
What are your thoughts gents regarding this screen as the lip is around £70 this sounds perfect if your opinions are favourable thanks in advance for any help

Had my lip on the standard screen for three years now and it's the best, never tried any other screens at all on my 2011 bike and don't feel the need, I am 6'3" tall and it does for me a treat.

If there is anything better out there then I will be amazed.

Thanks Alan for the info.
The lip may be the way forward I don't need much adjustment to serve my purpose now need to order correct size for my 2014

No need Al, and many thanks again for your kind offer..

That's awesome OC.. Glad you are happy with it.. Good that you also intend to secure it permanently. 

I have found that with the Lip, it also takes pressure off the screen motor bracket making it less likely to break like has happened to others.

Looks like I need to be ordering a lip . Definitely getting noise with the screen up, currently riding with the screen fully down as less noise and buffeting but plenty of wind pressure on the shoulders.

Guys and galls.
What is the correct way to work out which size lip you need ?. The year and model of bike or by measuring the screen .
If measuring where do you take the measurement from .

[O.C.]

by visiting the Heroblobs site you are able to choose your screen from their website

There are two types offered, 08/09 and 2010 on which includes 08/09 tall screen option

So, identify which screen your bike has and choose accordingly

If you aren't sure about which screen you have fitted then someone who has a standard screen and the accessory screen should be able to provide you with measurements for you to check yours against

Furthermore the accessory screen from Kawasaki is the same size as the OEM standard 2010 screen 

Hope that helps

Thanks O.C.
I saw the web site stated 2010 onwards including 08/09 taller screens.
Mine is standard so I presumed this is the one I needed.
