Haven't been on the forum for a couple of days and only just noticed Syd and Mo's kind offers.  Just had my Laminar Lip delivered today so I won't need to take you up on your generosity!  Will report back when I've given it a try although from what everyone says, it seems to do the trick for most riders.  Glad to see that this thread has provide the opportunity for a bit of levity!

Thanks for all the good advice and help on this issue, I've now got plenty of ideas to work on!  The Laminar Lip sounds good and if all else fails then the Calsci screen could be worth a try.  When I've taken the issue a bit further, I'll get back on the forum and let you know what worked. 

Thanks once again, Robin.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into this.

Hi folks

I'm pretty new to the GTR forum so forgive me if this point has been covered before.  I've just moved from a ZZR to a new GTR and would really like to benefit from the experiences of more established riders; first of all to say - I really love the bike for all the reasons that you already know, it's smooth and poweful, really comfortable and handles beautifully.  Is there a downside?  Yes, to me the screen is really disappointing.  Unlike some riders I don't find buffeting or weather protection a problem, but the noise is a major distraction and marrs what would otherwise be - to me - the perfect bike. By adjsuting the height of the screen you can find the "sweet spot" where the noise is minimised, but it is still noisy.  I think this is due to the poor airflow with the airstream being broken up on the trailing edge of the screen rather than being deflected so that it flows smoothly upwards and over the rider's head.  I have done a bit of research and there does seem to be an aftermarket screen which might overcome overcomes this problem - the Cee Baileys Euro Touring Screen.  Unfortunately these cost around £200, a price I would be willing to pay if I could be sure it would cure the problem.  If anyone out there has experience of these screens or any other helpful advice, I would love to hear from them!
