The tall screen was fitted to my bike when I bought it. Any tell me what make it is?

Thanks.

I'm 6'2" and it gets the air well above my head  (pillion gets a  bit buffetted!) though!

The problem that I notice with the bigger screens is the loss of downwards pressure on the bike. Even with the Kawasaki touring shield, as soon as the shield is raised I can tell the front is capable of wandering more. Not a big issue mind, but I like to have down force at the front.

wouldn't the hand deflectors go some way to countering the loss of downward force??..or will the raised screen remove airflow from these as well? ;D
It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

They probably would, but I imagine the wind flow from the screen would disrupt that somewhat.

I wish I had access to a wind tunnel. I'd design the ultimate windshield  ;D

Kawasaki have a wind tunnel  :) Looks like the small crash test dummy has to sit back & lean forwards with 2008 screen  ;D
