airhead126 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have a prototype from RIFLE FARING in Atasadero CALIF. It is 6" higher & 4" wider than Stock; have had it over 100mph & its steady & quiet. They should be on the market soon. It really makes a world of difference in riding comfort. They will make several sizes! Mine is lightly TINTED & I love the looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basstodave Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Is there a laminar lip that can be clamped or screwed to the OEM screen? Someone selling them stateside? That for me might be an option other than trying different helmets and screen sizes/manufacturers. Is my thinking somewhat correct that controlling the air hitting and flowing over the top of the shield is as important, or more so, than the height of the shield? Or....is the height paramount to lessen buffeting and noise and the lip just gives the rider the ability to fine tune the airflow? Also. Will cutting the OEM screen down about 3" do for a rider the same as buying a shorty windshield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peder Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It seems to be available, looks pretty good. To state the obvious, rider reviews would be helpful... http://rifle.com/Yamaha-FJ-09-Replacement-Windshield-P2478.aspx# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airhead126 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 YES!!! Thats my Bike ! Mine is the 4" really makes a comfortable Ride. Being adjustable 3" I might get try the taller version. Local Riders might get a DEMO to try if in the area; give them a call. Really nice people at RIFLE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted April 20, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 20, 2015 I swapped my original screen with grosgym's tall screen by Yamaha. I am going to try it on my commute tomorrow, but I'm going to wear my dark visor as I don't want to be seen with something so fugly. Quite a dilemma if it actually works... This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grogsym Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I swapped my original screen with grosgym's tall screen by Yamaha. I am going to try it on my commute tomorrow, but I'm going to wear my dark visor as I don't want to be seen with something so fugly. Quite a dilemma if it actually works... I tried Wessie's stock on Sunday. I'm 6'7" (2 meters) and the tall screen was really noisey and turbulent. The stock is a bit of a challenge to enjoy yourself at 90mph plus for any sustained period, lots of buffeting and tiring on the neck muscles... The hunt will continue!

grogsym Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just tried stock in top position, worked much better. Was a perfect night, came home with a big grin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdog Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Got the Cal Sci Large + 7.5" and it works great for me at 6'3" tall in the lowest position. Tried it at freeway speed with the bags on. Bike's stable, much less buffeting/noise. 2015 Grey FJ09 with a few tweaks, 2007 HD Street Glide - Good Bike + Good Friends = Good Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it at freeway speed with the bags on. Bike's stable, much less buffeting/noise. Do you have pictures of the larger screen? I ask because I have the medium screen (all that was originally available) and want to see if it looks wonky. Also deleted duplicate post.

buckybuk Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Heres a vid I made with (insert out) for exhaust....... But you can see the Cal Sci Large + 7.5" windscreen pretty good there [video src=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIgZYoJ0P_E] and here 2016 R1 2015 FJ-09-------SOLD 2002 Wr250F 2014 Concours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmoto Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Sounds great. I just rode with my Cal-Sci tall windscreen for the first time today and am pretty happy with it. In the highest position, it protects very well (experienced some rain on the ride) and the wind noise has been greatly reduced. This is my second windscreen by them; had one on a DL-650. That did the job pretty well too, but the top was just about in the line of sight. Kinda annoying. This one is not all obstructing my vision. Oh, and if you are interested in knowing, I am 6 foot tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmoto Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yes, it still flows over my helmet. However, no turbulence like the stock windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
