  1. Need to share my experience on this wind screen topic - maybe helpfull for some one, I hope. I'm 192 cm (6'3" I believe). Like all of you having tried the OEM windshield, I have also experienced massive wind turbulence (making the noise inside my helmet very loud) and lack of comfort when riding - primarily - on the highways. Therefore I purchased the MRA Vario Touring windscreen, like others - the vario version has this small, adjustable top spoiler/wing on top/front. While the windscreen itself is an improvement towards the OEM windscreen, the adjustable spoiler/wing seems having limited impact on the turbulence and noise. Have tried various angles and positions, but can't notice any differences. Then, lately, I tried the Givi 2139DT windscreen (yes, it's big and the mouting brackets are less beautifull to look at) and what a difference - at high speeds on the highway, I experienced a massive improvement on turbulence/noise issue - even though the wind still "hits" the top of my helmet, the noise level has reduced massively. I could even - on the highway at speeds up to 130 km/t - leave the visor open 4-5 cm on my helmet. Also, very important, the stability and vibrations from the windscreen is eliminated (the MRA had some of this still). So, after being trying the Givi 2139DT a couple of times, I remain impressed. Have tried adjusting the windscreen in the highest and lowest adjustable positions, but can't notice any difference there. Backside of the screen is the visual apperance - looks like a "stolen car windshield", mounted directly on a motorcycle. And my helmet tends to fog now, since no air flow onto the ventilation holes (so a new pinlock is required). My conclusion: The Givi 2139DT is visually not an improvement to the Tracer 900 GT, but in aspect to reducing turbulence and wind noise, this is very good. I'll keep my MRA screen for my wifes Tracer (she is not so tall and dislike the tall screen due to visibility onto the road). The difference in size is significant, I believe. Have a safe ride, take care & stay healthy Br
