crfan1 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I see that powerbronze makes a short sport screen for the FJ and I was wondering if anyone here has tried it out? I have looked at the Cal-Sci shorty and I think that one still may be a bit too long.... http://www.powerbronzeusa.com/searchedproducts.aspx?maketext=YAMAHA&modeltext=MT-09%20TRACER&yeartext=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanman35 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I have this on order and it is due for arrival any day now so will keep you posted. I'm hoping that it does the job! These screens are made to order (for us in Oz) so I had to wait 4-6 weeks for delivery unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanman35 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Ok! Have got this screen on and I'm a happy guy! I'm 5'10" or 178 cm and today tested the screen up to 100kmh of 65mph and didn't suffer from the usual buffeting I had from the original screen. In the lowest position, the airflow was hitting me in the chest. In the highest position, the airflow was directed at my shoulders and neck which in my opinion is much more comfortable, although it is still noticeable. Either way, I'll take the trade off to be rid of the buffeting noise. The screen itself looks pretty decent if you ask me. My biggest gripe would be the Australian agent for Powerbronze - Website says 4 week delivery - Order confirmation says 5 week delivery - This took 12 weeks for actual delivery I patiently waited and followed up the agent for delivery at week 10. Was told to be patient and that it would be here "soon". Asked for a better answer than that and was then told it has always been this way, customers rarely need to wait more than 10 weeks and that it would be in the next shipment. To my disappointment was not told when the next shipment was; asked for clarity on this but lost dialogue with the agent. In my opinion the agent here in Australia clearly adds no value to the transaction; I don't know why we can't just order direct. Either way, problem solved for me for now, so I'm happy.

hal26 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm 6'4" and this little Powerbronze works for me in low and high position. Blocks the air on my chest and zero helmet turbulence. Found a discount coupon and ordered it from Powerbronze for around $80 delivered from the U.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivabign Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I can echo what hanman says, I've taken the powerbronze on a couple rides now and am very pleased. I'm just under 6' and for me with the screen on the low position the air seems to hit me mid chest and I get clean air up around my helmet. I can deal with the wind now that the noise and buffeting is gone! The standard screen was horrible for me and I tried the CalSci Shorty which was just a slight improvement (IMO)... Ok!
