Screens

[Ladybird]

Again....your feedback required for the main site....

Do you have an aftermarket screen - if so what? Ease of fit and quality?
Why did you choose that screen?

[TazCBR1100XX]

No aftermarket screen for me - the standard one is fine

[Mr C]

MRA touring , good quality, good fitment, excellent wind protection

Givi touring screen not the best looking screen on the market, but knock's off most of the buffeting for a big git like me even at stupid speeds,( MAYBE THATS WHY MINES FASTER THAN THE REST )AND ITS RED TOO..

Was getting tired of being wind blasted for 400 miles at a time so fitted a F-Fabbri double bubble. The fit was a bit iffy where it fitted being a effectively just a curved flat sheet rather than being joggled at the edge to fit under the fairing. It did work at keeping the wind off me when riding solo but when Natalie was on the back, it set up quite a bad turbulance that knocked both our heads around so I went back to the original.

Picked up a MRA db at the NEC (still no boots ) in a deal with a P&P seat - screen and seat with gel inserts for £250. Excellent fit although it feels considerably more flimsy than the original, and it works very well - I can now sit at 90 in relative calm. Also not certain if it is the screen or the Blue flames, or both, but all I could hear at 40 used to be wind roar. Now wind noise is reduced and I can still hear the exhaust at 90 with ear plugs fitted.

thats the cans, and you got the quiet ones, ( 2 baffles in total, mind you are getting old )

Something you're not going to achieve at this rate.

Pm'd ya !

Nuvo double bubble. No windblast, stable as the proverbial. Fit is good and (with proper care when cleaning obviously) is resisting scratches well so far - done 30,000 miles over 4 years in all weathers. All in all, good value I think.

Hello,
I`ve just bought my first blackbird, and for the most part I love it however, I have found a downside. I get cronic neck ache riding it. So I`m after some advice please. Do you think my neck ache is caused by the handle bar postion? or the screen? I am looking into buying either a flip up or touring screen, but can`t make my mind up which would be the best option, so if anyone has tried a flip screen and a touring screen I would like to hear there comments please. Also which handlebar risers are the best and why? Thanks
John

Hi and . If you want to try a MRI double bubble, I've got a spare you can look at. Probably bars position is more relevant though. I would suggest you look at Pete Collards bar raisers.

Got mine from M&P no idea what make it is, but it is a double bubble with cbr1100xx on the lower portion of the screen where it's black.

It's not actually for sale, m8. But you're to try it for a few days to help your buying decision.

Cheers mate, but sorted now. I have ordered a flip screen and bbs bar risers from the bb shop that you gave me the link for, I will see how I get on with those!
Cheers
