morkys Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Ok folks. I figure I would contribute to this forum so I went and bought no fewer than 3 windscreens to compare. I will keep what I like and sell the one('s) I don't like. Question. I chose "smoked". I want a dark screen that I can see through. Should I have chosen light black? 1) MRA sport screen vs Ermax Sport screen 2) Ermax tall or touring screen I hope I like the Ermax tall and one of either of the sport screens. I am not bothering with the Puig screens for now. I could try the Puig sport screen if I have to but I won't likely bother with the Puig touring screen as it sounds like it is a bit big and problematic. There isn't much riding season left for me but hopefully I will at least get out for a few rides with each screen and be able to give this forum some feedback. I am 185 LBS and 5 foot 9.5" and I wear 30" inseam pants. I hope to get the screens within the week.

brokenhat Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I just installed the Puig racing screen in dark smoke, going for a ride in an hour. It is the best looking screen I have seen IMHO. I also have the Puig touring in clear (bottom is smoked) which I love the looks and function of while doing serious highway miles. I'm going to swap between them (5 minutes) depending on my need. Will post a pic and my Puig Racing impressions later today. I am 5'9" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdimitris Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I had installed ermax touring on my bike. I have to say that it’ s a crap. After two months on the bike (i did not expose the bike to the sun when parked) windshield has small cracks thin like hair , all over around... And it’ s not only me who face that. So keep away....

morkys Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 kdimitris, Where do you live? You've heard of others with this issue? I will just compare the two sport screens for now. Maybe the Puig racing screen too later. It may make sense to compare the shorter sport screens first. Ultimately though for a touring screen I like what I read about the givi screens. The one I want to try is Out of stock though. 2017 FJ-09 - Yoshimura Y-series Exhaust / MRA Sport Screen / Evotech Rad Guard & Fork Sliders / Custom LED Rear Tail Light / Lowering Links / Mirror Extenders / Low Seat / Tail Tidy / Shogun Swingarm Sliders - Touring mods > Madstad 20" screen (on standby) / SHAD SH36 Hard Cases / SW-Motech Rear Alu-rack - Mods not yet installed > Fender Extender - Mods on the way > MT09 Adventure Pegs / Sargent seats / Knuckle Guard leds / Speedtech Photon Flush Mount LED signals / SW Motech Frame Sliders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morkys Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 No screens have reached me shipping wise so far. Oh well. For all FJ09 owners out there, I think the better options are: For small screens the MRA, ermax, puig or zero gravity. For larger touring screens I think the givi, parabellum or zero gravity. I haven't seen much feedback about the zero gravity bubble screens, but they look good. I think that is it for me for this year for riding season. If I get one or both of the screens soon enough and I have a reasonable weather day I will try them out. Otherwise, I will be putting the FJ09 to bed for winter soon. 2017 FJ-09 - Yoshimura Y-series Exhaust / MRA Sport Screen / Evotech Rad Guard & Fork Sliders / Custom LED Rear Tail Light / Lowering Links / Mirror Extenders / Low Seat / Tail Tidy / Shogun Swingarm Sliders - Touring mods > Madstad 20" screen (on standby) / SHAD SH36 Hard Cases / SW-Motech Rear Alu-rack - Mods not yet installed > Fender Extender - Mods on the way > MT09 Adventure Pegs / Sargent seats / Knuckle Guard leds / Speedtech Photon Flush Mount LED signals / SW Motech Frame Sliders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morkys Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 I tried the MRA only and it works ok. I may sell the Ermax. 2017 FJ-09 - Yoshimura Y-series Exhaust / MRA Sport Screen / Evotech Rad Guard & Fork Sliders / Custom LED Rear Tail Light / Lowering Links / Mirror Extenders / Low Seat / Tail Tidy / Shogun Swingarm Sliders - Touring mods > Madstad 20" screen (on standby) / SHAD SH36 Hard Cases / SW-Motech Rear Alu-rack - Mods not yet installed > Fender Extender - Mods on the way > MT09 Adventure Pegs / Sargent seats / Knuckle Guard leds / Speedtech Photon Flush Mount LED signals / SW Motech Frame Sliders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnymertz Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I love the Puig racing windscreen, love, love love. No pressure on the head and it looks fantastic. Looks killer. I'm thinking about getting this screen. How tall are you though? I'm worried about buffering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hard to believe that tiny Puig screen offers any protection from wind or noise or buffeting. But it does look nice. I've finally accepted the fact that with FJ windscreens, protection is inversely proportional to looks: the uglier the screen the more protection it provides! cb 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnymertz Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Puig pics almost had me swayed. I ended up ordering the MRA. Hopefully I don't regret it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does look nice. Have you ridden a naked bike? smooth, clean air. There are a lot of forum members here that have reported removing the screen all together to remedy the wind noise and buffeting. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I have not. Maybe I should remove my screen and give it a try. I did feel with the stock screen in low position I was hanging on for dear life in the wind blast above 75 mph. The upright riding position and wide bars seemed to make me a wind catcher.

If so, how does it compare to the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
