tfj09 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I bought the Zero Gravity sport tour from Revzilla... (sigh)... no improvement. The screen looks good on the bike, but in the high position especially the wind noise is very bad. I'm 6'1, primarily wear a Shoei GT Air, with the seat set in the "low" position. Are there any good options for taller riders on the FJ09? The best result I've had was chopping the stock screen in half. I catch all the wind in my chest, which does add to more fatigue on long rides, but at least the air around the helmet is quieter. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated....

theyalg Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Very interesting thread a lot of information, not a lot of tall people who have really found a solution to the terrible stock windscreen. I tried lowering it and raising the seat to the highest position, to get the wind more on my chest. Worked terribly. So after reading all the posts ive narrowed it down to these options: 1) CalSci Large 2) Parabellum Tall Anyone around the height of 6'4" who can comment or say that either one of these screens worked best. Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you!!! I'm 6'6 and I'm going with madstadI'm 6'2" (so you're a bit taller than me) and went with the 22" Madstad. Working very well for me! Much smoother airflow. I still get some airflow to the body (no pressure) which I really appreciate in warmer temperatures (live in SoCal) while still feeling protected. You would probably need the 24" version as the 22" is just tall enough for me. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member johan Posted April 28, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted April 28, 2016 Can you folks with the KTM handguards provide me with a little more info on them, pics, what style, and so forth? Too lazy to take pics now, but they are the normal KTM endurance bike hand guards. Cost something like £40 here. They were very simple and easy to fit, except I need to make some kind of adjustment as when I use the heated grips the throttle expands and needs more space. They don't seem to provide any more or less protection, but they reduced the width of the handle bars. I don't think any hand guards make a pretty design, but subjectively the simpler design is an improvement over the complex design and many elements of the originals. I think these were the ones: link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filo79 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Here's my new Isotta high windscreen: Vs the original one: You also need a kit of a couple of brackets (and 4 bolts) which makes the original fixing more stable. 75euros for the shield + 20euros for the brackets kit. No need to remove the hand guards. Very very well made, 6mm thickness, strong enough to remain stable even at 150-160kph, even with the MRA XCreen deflector, no vision distortions, easy mounting. It reduces A LOT the turbulences from the air flux, i can stay with the helmet visor open at over 100kph with no problems. I think it's not so ugly and integrates well with the bike's style.

josh Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just pulled the trigger on the sport/touring V-Stream screen. Thanks motoskir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwader Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 So is it just me or is every large windshield out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bruinfj09guy Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Revzilla has had the National Touring for a bit up until last night. I notice they will have a few and then sell out. I check almost every day for the Sport Touring. I almost had one a couple days ago. The site said one available and then it disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyalg Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 So i wanted to give an update of my windshield adventures. I ended up getting the 26" parabellum clear windshield. I installed it a few days ago and took a ride on on a very windy day. It worked great i didnt have the wind buffering around my helmet and the wind noise was at a minimum, even with the large gusts of wind. The windshield looks great with the bike. I am waiting to receive the short tinted flyscreen to see how that will work on those hot days. Again i am 6'4" i wear an Icon Variant Construct Helmet (which is a really noisy helmet) and the screen worked great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpuddin Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 So I am 5'9" with the sport touring V Stream. At first it still left me with quite a bit of buffering at high speeds, but after adding the Puig wind deflector, it's like heaven. I can ride with my visor open at 70 mph. I can hear the growl from the exhaust. It's a complete different experience. I do have the Corbin seat which puts me up a bit but this is by far where I call it good. I highly recommend this combo!
