I'm satisfied with the standard screen on my 2011. But I'm only 1.75m tall and just manage to get both feet on the ground.  :whistling:

I've got a large (CalSci) one  :) & at just under 6' I have to duck an inch for perfect quiet. Depends what your body (bit stuck out in the breeze) / leg ratio is.

Note: We have recently (6/2010) revised the names of our Concours shields - what used to be called our Large is now the Medium, no other changes; what used to be called the XL is now the Large, no other changes. We have added a new XL shield for taller guys.

Heroblobs come recommended for their service to me. I bought my CalSci from them, test rode it with the cling film still attached and didn't like it. He was happy to give me a full refund, so I got a part refund and Laminar Lip (which I'm yet to try).  :clap:

I'm using the standard 2010 screen, (the taller one for older bikes) To be honest its ok most of the time for me (6ft) no buffeting but a bit noisy. I have fitted a laminar lip which has now improved things to the point where its as quiet now as you can reasonably expect and with no buffeting, so result!!!

Screen fitted, it does not look to big for the bike something I was worried about. Not going to be able to test ride due to the weather but as soon as I can I will post up my findings.

Been out all day today on the bike :banana: The screen is an improvment, fully up at 60mph fantastic, any faster needed to lower it due to bufferting. Noise is not an issue really as I always use plugs. The only thing I had trouble with really, I found myself looking at the top of the screen, no idea why, I seemed to do it more when in the twisties having a bit of fun. overcome it by putting the screen to the bottom and tucked down behind it.
I think as I am new to the style of bike things like that I will get used too.

Can I say the new screen was worth the money???...................................... not sure :rolleyes:

Screens will drive you daft, 'till you get it right. £175 is quite alot to be 'still not sure'  MRA Vario was my choice, and has proved to be ideal ( for me) xx

I'm not un happy with the screen, just not sure exactly what I should expect. I find the larger screen ok and better than the standard one so spose it is worth the money. time will tell, got the first euro tour of the year next month should be a good test :cool:
