illies17 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Has anyone tried the large Parabellum windshield yet?? I think it's the leading contender of the windshield I want to try. I'm 6'3" and it looks like it will be the best chances of solving turbulence issues for a tall rider. But it doesn't seem to be as popular as some of the other shields people are using like the CalSci shields and others. It would be great to hear from someone who has this shield! http://parabellum.com/FJ-09-Replacement-Touring-Windshield-P124.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themilkman Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I should be getting mine mounted up this week. Getting the tall touring and the fly screen. I'll report back, but I'm thinking it'll be just the right combo. They are a small family business, with excellent customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fanowater Posted June 29, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 29, 2015 I ordered both the medium (24") and the fly screen. Haven't received a ship date yet. I am hopeful since the shapes match the conclusions I had reached based on my own experience, reading others opinions of their aftermarket screens and my own experimentation! Fingers crossed! 2015 FJ-09 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is on the short list for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimson04 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm thinking about getting the tall that is tinted but I have not seen photos of a tinted model yet. My other option is the Madstad but to be honest i havent seen enough reviews on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other option is the Madstad but to be honest i havent seen enough reviews on either. The tint on the touring screen is the same as on the flyscreen. Here's my flyscreen for reference: http://i.imgur.com/CpsXduw.jpg The flyscreen is much better than the stock screen. Amazingly, it's about the same wind coverage with less turbulence. The touring screen is great too, I hope to put some more miles on it over the next few months. You can't beat the service from the guys at Parabellum, too. '15 FJ-09 Red is the fastest color!

Premium Member fanowater Posted July 22, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 22, 2015 I am very happy with my flyscreen. I played around with the mounting and ended up not using the big rubber bumpers at the top. have intermediate sized spacers in the top two mounting holes. This angled it back more and lowered the point where the wind hits me to my chin. A little loud, but mostly smooth air and a million times better and better looking than the silly stock screen. I will be messing around with the big screen this weekend. Not sure about it yet. 2015 FJ-09 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Purchased the 24". 5'11 31 inseam. Totally removed all wind noise. Can ride at 60 with no felt wind or noise in all positions. Looking over windshield in highest position. Great product! Now waiting on seat concepts seat. Local upholstery shop says he'll do it when it comes in!

Premium Member fanowater Posted July 31, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 31, 2015 So after talking to Parabellum about the big touring screen, I tried angling it back just like the flyscreen. It worked amazingly well. I am 5'8" with a 29" inseam and the 24" worked well for me after angling it back. What is nice is riding with the visor cracked for a little fresh air without the huge increase in noise. Since someone asked for heights - My eye is 7 inches above the top of the windscreen (67 and 60 inches off the ground, bike on center stand) Parabellum really knows their stuff. Highly recommended! The photo link is a (bad photo) trying to show the arrangement of the mounting hardware. Stock rubber bumper, parabellum Aztec washer stack for top screw and then washer stack plus spacer for the bottom. http://s296.photobucket.com/user/daleh627/media/Screen%20mounting_zpswfirrdxa.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Cheers 2015 FJ-09 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidolsen Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Have a 26" Para coming tomorrow I hope. Will post impressions in a few days. Someone suggested removing the stock screen and I have to say it's a hell of a lot better than running the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
