tgas Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I just wanted to provide some feedback regarding my MRA Sport windscreen. I recently replaced the stock windscreen for the shorter, sportier MRA Sport to get better wind flow during the summer heat and also help with the buffeting you get from the stock screen. After putting about 100 miles on the bike with the new screen I have to say I am pretty well satisfied with the results. With the MRA in the low position you get full airflow and NO buffeting. The Tracer feels more like a naked bike or naked bike with a flyscreen. With the MRA in the high position you get less airflow, more protection, and maybe slight buffeting. Your experience will depend on your height, speed, and riding condition. If you are on the fence about the MRA Sport and you are looking for more air flow and no or less buffeting then give it a try. I think you will like it. I purchased thru TwistedThrottle and they are great to work with. I will post some pics of the new screen on my Tracer 9 GT soon. Let me know if you have questions or input. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Glad you like it, figured you'd be pretty overall satisfied, and your results closely mimic mine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Kenny A. Posted September 7, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted September 7, 2023 I fitted an MRA Sport screen today. Haven't tried it yet. Will try it out tomorrow. Your feedback is reassuring. 👍 2019 900 GT, 1969 Honda S90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fddriver2 Posted September 8, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted September 8, 2023 Been running one with a small wing off and on for years. Sometimes if I'm going on a long trip I'll throw a taller ErMax on if I feel I will need more protection. 2 "It doesn't matter who walks in, you know the joke is still the same" Ft.

tgas Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 I will second the question of, "how is the ErMax with buffeting." I went on a long ride yesterday with a group of riders. Rode about 280 miles. Great weather. Great ride. However, I put my stock screen back on because it was chilly yesterday morning. The stock screen buffeted my helmet all day and by the time I got back I had a terrible headache. I should have left the MRA Sport screen on. I need to find a solution for cold weather riding. I am considering the MRA Touring Vario screen but at over $200 I want to make sure it will eliminate or greatly reduce the buffeting before buying. Anyone with the MRA Touring Vario please give your input. I am 5'8" and at lower speeds the stock screen in the upper position does not buffet very much, but when your speeds increase to 65 and 70 mph and up it gets bad enough to really be a PITA. Maybe the answer is using the smaller screen year around but the stock screen really does a good job of keeping the cold air off during colder riding. All input appreciated.

Ride365 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 My MRA sport is awesome all year long here in Ohio, rode yesterday in temps of about 50F and was very comfortable with zero buffeting. Wind hits me right about middle of my helmet visor, so I would imagine the touring screen would offer even more smooth protection for chilly rides.

Heavy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Try one of those add-on windshield spoilers. I'm 5'10" and ran the stock screen with a spoiler all the time. Worked well, for me. You can pick one up cheap on ebay or cheaper on Aliexpress. 1 There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgas Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Thanks. I might try one or just get the MRA Touring Vario. How do you like the Transalp? Edited October 30, 2023 by tgas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Love the Transalp, although weather has been crap so I've only ridden it about 300 miles. Look way down at the bottom of the forums list. There's a thread about other bikes. I've blabbed about it there ... if you want more info. 1 There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time.
