Another Screen Question

[Alfor]

I like the height of the standard screen but being 6' 2" I do get a bit of head buffering.

Has anyone simply changed the angle of the screen to increase up flow instead of changing for a larger screen?

I was thinking of longer screws and some form of packing on the two top screen securing fasteners (recognising any damage to the mech would void the warranty). +10 degrees would probable be enough.

 I am 6 3 and I thought about that, but I went for a Laminar lip and installed it as high as I could, now when the screen is fully up its like being in a cocoon of quietness, heaps better in my opinion.

- some of the USA fellas have experienced broken windscreen brackets with bigger/taller screens.

- something to look out for.

I agree Alan, the laminar lip works very well for me as well, I have tried all sorts of screen and sizes but the standard large screen plus lip is the best I have found.

I think adjusting the screen angle will just increase the chance of turbulance being caused around your crash helmet, but the Laminar lip moves the air over you

Not just USA, my one snapped as well, had to have it welded after a large C-bailey was fitted,

PS anyone want to buy a bracket breaking C- bailey large screen? LOL

Look shit though

So do I!!!!!!!

I'm thinking two longer screws and couple of pieces of old mini heater hose around 1/2 long. Will give it a go in a week or two and see what happens.

For the sake of a couple £'s, it's worth a try given the price of laminar lip or taller screen.

I bought and fitted one of these in readiness for last weeks France tour and it works very very well


Having had a 'visor' on a previous GTR I can safely report that the Laminar Lip is much better.

And Chris, some might consider that the BMW 1600 looks shit..beauty is in the eye of the beholder (aledgedly)

I have used the MRA flip with the clamp on brackets save drilling holes in my original screen.
