Auto Screen Raising - Fact or Fiction

[1ka]

...Peg height ... on a tourer !  why would a pillion want their knees by their ears, and hard Ally too. just a small bit of spirited riding and a quick nail it in 2nd saw my wifes feet off the pegs.  and shes a seasoned biker/pillion with 30 years on a bike.  she said they were small, slippy and way too high

The 2015 model has rubberised pillion pegs, quite why it took so long to do this is another question. Still same height though.

The 2015 screen with the adjustable vent is better at reducing noise, but as there is less turbulence around your head, you are more prone to buffeting from side winds. Also, I need to close the vent when it's raining so that the turbulence can clear rain off the visor. In short, you win some, you lose some.

Agreed, I have just added a Laminar Lip to the 'vented' screen on y 2015 bike, the combination seems to work well, it was put to the test over the last 36 hours with a round trip ride to the Meeting in Gloucester when I spent plenty time on the motorway with the vent open and the screen fully extended..................I'm pleased with the Laminar Lip

My 08 does that as well!
