I think Moayling has one of those fitted, feel sure he will give you the lowdown.

I have one fitted at the moment.
Despite it's multiple choice of positions, I do not think it is any better for me than the original screen with a laminar lip fitted.
I can get a quiet ride if I hunch down, so guess what I really need is a taller screen, I am six foot tall though.

I find it works for me but I'm a shortarse at 5-6"

If I was a shortarse I don't think I'd have a problem, however I'm over 6'4" and always struggle.

Obviously, I don't have a GTR anymore, but I fitted one to an aftermarket Screen and covered about 70k with one one.

I think you can see it on my avatar.  it makes a little difference and the other half thought it made a suitable difference.

technically, I didn't have a problem with it generally, although after 40k, you might find that the screen will show signs of internal stress (minute internal cracks) that you can see in sunlight.  I guess it was to do with the weight and pressure at the top of the screen.

would I buy one again - yes, and just live with the cracks - nothing ever failed.

Some police forces trialled them but decided not to install.

thats about all the information I have, hope it helps.
