Title: Probably been asked before, but ..... MRA screens
Post by: Bryn on July 06, 2013, 04:55:50 PM
I've got a Calsci Large on mine at the moment, vast improvement on the standard 09 offering.. but I really like the look of the tinted standard MRA vario....

I'm 59" tall by the way.....

I'm thinking if the MRA is as good or better for me..., then I can always get the cost back by selling the Calsci.... 

Has anyone tried the MRA vario  ( not the larger one) and perhaps the Calsci  :ohplease:

Hi Bryn, I have the MRA standard screen and find it quite good, but think the Xscreen would be the better option. Fully up, I still get some buffeting and wind noise. I'm 6ft if that helps as a guide mate.

Just ordered myself the X screen version as I need something a bit bigger (I had an MRA on my Tiger too) plus, I've noticed my existing, standard screen is cracking under the strain near the mounting points...

It looks the dogs that Bryn, :biker3:

Let me know how it is on the road, I want one but need to be sure it work proper before I splash out....

I've only had my bike a couple of months and there is a bigger screen on it, but I not know what it is and it doesn't work too well, but better than the standard I had on my last GTR.

You may have been asked but who's seat is that, is it a one off or is it from a seat company?

Just took it out for around 20 miles... not much I know, but I'm impressed with it   :yes:   messed around with the positions while out and about , and now it's roughly where I started ... as in the photo... and the wind seems fairly clean... certainly no buffeting like on the original.... at least as good as the calsci large that I had on...

I do like the look of a smoke screen as well...... For some reason it seems less imposing when up , than the Calsci..

Can only speak for myself, and I'm glad its on   :biker3:

When the Mrs asks, its all your fault Bryn! :clap:

Just ordered a Top Selleries seat, with gel pads, but not the heated pads (price gets a bit steep then)

So thanks in advance for being my skape goat!  :wink:
