Supporting Member whistler Posted January 18, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted January 18, 2019 For those interested. BTW, I think Nat'l Cycle has their product descriptions reversed (relative to windshield height, type, etc). You'll see what I mean when you get there. Update 06 Feb '19: They fixed their mismatched labels between the Sport and Touring models. http://www.nationalcycle.com/index.php/catalog/category/view/id/6598 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT (Annabelle) 2013 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Juliette) 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300 (Rachel) 2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250S (Fiona) 2006 Honda VFR800 (Jenny) 2005 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Hannah) 2003 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100 (Veronica) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimbim18 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Anyone have one of these? I feel like the stock screen pushes air right in my face. Saw these and the look like they might work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member motopumps Posted February 17, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 17, 2019 I am going to order one after some measuring today. Have had their screens on my FJRs and a riding buddy has one on an FJ-09 and likes it. I think he has the middle size. Will report in when things are rideable here. Maybe not too soon...

Premium Member fjray Posted February 17, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 17, 2019 I bought a Givi shield for my FJ09. After I got it, and obviously before I took it off, I went for a ride with the stock shield in the lower position. If I had done that before I may not have gotten an aftermarket shield. It took the wind roar off my helmet and wasn't uncomfortable anywhere. But I like the Givi too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Givi sport screen and to be honest I still get the wind aimed at the top of my visor which causes a lot of helmet noise. It does protect my body a lot better than the standard screen though. I am 5ft 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luma46 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Anyone tried the MRA X-creen windshield extention? I had the Sport version on my previous bike and was very happy with it. Yesterday was browsing Amazon.ca and found the same screen there for a third of original price due to damaged packaging. Bought it on the spot. Unfortunately, won't be able to try it until the damn winter ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking im at the right height where lowered it hits the top my chin and all the way up blows it right into my facemask. All the way up the sheld sits I think at shoulder level to me. I rode a VulcanS (very fun bike) with no screen for 6 months or so and I dont remember that much wind in my face. Definately more wind than my Honda Shadow I just got rid of (Windshield about chin level. On the interstate if I tucked my head about 3 inches it was super quiet). I'm short (5'5") I think the adjustable windshield is too gimmicky. It would have been cool if adjustment was like 6" or so, I dont feel 3" is much difference.

As mine is being a real pain to fit properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works just fine for me, Edgar. 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT (Annabelle) 2013 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Juliette) 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300 (Rachel) 2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250S (Fiona) 2006 Honda VFR800 (Jenny) 2005 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Hannah) 2003 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100 (Veronica) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mine is being a real pain to fit properly. It's easier to put on when the piping is soft and pliable. put it out in the sun on a black surface a on hot day or use a heat gun or hair dryer. Also, use a mixture of dish soap and water so it slides on easier (like what you would use to mount tires with). He who dies with the most toys wins.

edgarjessop12 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Cheers, I have put it on with a heat gun, and it is on............ but will not stop down on the little S bend at each end of the top of the screen. Think I will take it off again and leave it in hot water, and try again. Thanks Edgar Jessop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
