screen mod

Pity you're not a bit closer to Bolton as you could try before you buy.

Fair/warm weather I tend to ride with the screen fully down and the adjustable section just about halfway up


Wet/colder weather I leave the flip in the same position but just riase the screen

FyI I'm about 5/10/5'11" with a 32" inside leg

How effective do you find the cut out's compared top a full screen without?

Never had the GTR without the cats eyes in, screen was on the bike when I bought her.

I'm 6' 2"  so with the flip up fully and the screen up it may be better than the one I have??  not forgetting  the cut outs as well.

I'm 6'4" and had a Puig touring screen. Whilst better than the original, it wasn't perfect.

I recently acquired (thanks Charlie! ) an MRA screen with adjustable lip. *Infinitely* better than the Puig! Plus - and I will be testing this theory in August - with the adjustable lip down, and the screen down, it is more like the height of the original: maximum airblast cooling in hot climates.

The new MRA screen arrived today,  I'm off work tomorrow so will swap it for the Vstream and try to take a test ride to see if it's any better.....fingers crossed.

How right you are... .....just got back from town where I was expecting to have 2 keys cut for the bike.  I had to order the blanks, they have arrived but the guy couldn't find them.... .

Now I'm home I'm just about to start putting it together...thought I'd take a photo of the bits just for the guys to see what does come with the screen..



Here goes...



Well that took about 45 mins....had me scratching the old noggin for a min or two.. .......but now all ready to bang it on.

Just read the MRA screen spec's, it's say's it's 505mm with the flip fully raised, isn't that smaller than the original kawasaki screen?

Biggers not always better ;)

(although they do do a taller one as well)

[O.C.]

The 'original' (2009) screen was smaller and at that time KHI offered a larger screen through the Kawasaki Accessory programme

Later model (I think 2010 onwards) model year had an improved/larger screen as standard, which was the same dimensions as the previous Accessory screen, but I can't remember what those dimensions are/were

I'm sure someone will be along with a tape measure any time now

That's what they say...   and this one is the taller one....."Length/height with spoiler raised 610mm"

Off their web site....

Spoiler Dimensions

    Width of spoiler/aerofoil: 360 mm (14.2 inches)
    Overall height of spoiler/aerofoil: 155 mm (6.1 inches)
    Height in centre of spoiler/aerofoil: 128 mm (5.0 inches)

According to my ruler that 610mm is the same as the Vstream I have at the moment....but then there's the "cats eyes" to help, also the adjustable visor to alter air flow....so I have to wait and see.

why wait ? get out and
