Well after yesterdays spin with son on back ,am looking to change screen have noticed with stock screen on my 08 that fully up my neck hurts and he also said that he had alot of noise have toyed with the idea of laminar lip as its the cheapest option but wondering if oem taller screen or cee baileys eurocut /calsci screen might be better option im 5'8' son is 5'6' any advice would be appreciated in this .Bike has heli bar riser kit and seat has been altered with gel inserts aswell [dont know if its taller or shorter with inserts].

 The MRA Vario screen works well for me, the tinted one also looks the part, and is of exceptional quality.
  Thing is we're all a bit different, what works for one may not be right for another and the ideal screen may be two or three down the line. Good luck.

I need to replace my screen at some point (I'm 6ft 2" so suffer a little with buffeting and wind blast) ....have considered the MRA as it I think it's in keeping with looks of the bike and it has nice lines. Would helpful to know which rider has what screen and how tall they are?

Sorry for hijacking thread Kawolph :-\
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?

I have a C Baileys screen which was on the bike when I bought it. I'm five foot eleven and three quarters of an inch tall and I have no problems when it's at it's full height.

I am 6ft and have the Cee Baileys ultra tour. Rising is a couple of inches is sufficient. If you live in Yorkshire, you can pop around and try my screen on your bike.

However, for summer I intend on getting the MRA Vario. For someone @ 5' 8" it should be ok with the lip. Hoping it will be good for someone at 6ft as well

the more i search the more i get baffled ,think i will either go with the givi tourning which is 8.5 cm higher or the laminar lip.

Im 6'2 and my bike has a tall screen that was fitted when i bought it. I dont know what make it is but when I raise it to its highest setting i can ride at 70 with my visor up!  Drop it down and i get  a great wind blast for cooling on wamer days

And lesson is dont do to much research ,have found skidmarx do a screen and its pretty good according to reviews and at 65 sterling a lot cheaper than anything else out there.Head about to explode with information overload.
