Having just rode my bike home, the standard screen is a bit small.....

Anyone tried the powerbronze flip screen  , or can recommend a screen that does a proper job?

I'm thinking at least 4" taller than the standard one  :cool:

:ohplease:

so you have bought it :clap: quite a few have change their screens. I can't comment on which is the best, because I've stuck with the standard screen I find it to be ok :smiley: but I do know kawasaki made a few upgrades from the "pre" 2010 models :smiley: one of which, was the screen and is is 70mm taller! think most of the guys have gone for this screen. http://shop.heroblobs.co.uk/collections/kawasaki-gtr1400/products/calsci-screens-for-kawasaki-gtr1400
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

The standard screen on the 2010+ model is slightly taller than the standard screen on the 2007 - 2009  model however it is still not tall enough and I'm only 5'11" tall. I use a C Balieys after market screen and its perfect.

Thanks guys   :yes:

Looks like the Calsci is cheaper than the Cee Baileys.... anyone else care to comment on their set up ?

Hi Bryn, I have a Calsci XL with which I am very pleased. 6' 2" bootless. I also have handlebar risers which give a more upright position and the Calsci still deals with that.
Better to be old and grey than the alternative!

I think for me the Cee baileys has priced itself out..... the Calsci is expensive, but if it does the job it would be money well spent.... I'm only 5'10" so wouldn't need the XL one I think....

Just been speaking with an ex-owner of a GTR who said the 2010 model screen will fit my '09 bike ..... is that a worthwhile updgrade or is that problematic as well ?  :rolleyes:

AFAIK The current standard screen was available as an extra on the pre-2010 models - so yes, it should fit.

Calsci Screen fitted ... thanks to Bondu for an excellent bit of packing, and the screen is in great condition too  :banana:

It's Huuge compared to the standard one.... when it stops P*ssing down I'll take it for a test flight .....

Fitted the Beowulf rad guard too... that is excellent also   :wink:
