I know!!! this has prob been chatted to death over time, but be gentle with me this is my first pop!!

I use my Bird daily to go to and from work but I also do some touring with it. I'm thinking of getting a 'touring' screen for those occations. What do poeple suggest, recommend, avoid at all cost etc?

Hi guys thanks for your comments, i have posted an intro on the new members bit.

Sorry to sound a tad dumb, blonde and senior :P but by MRA tourer do you mean the MRA Vario or the Sports Tourer?

Depends how tall y'are and if you carry a passenger but if you want it to look pretty and don't do that many miles- go with the MRA Touring screen m8.

If ya want to do the miles at xx cruising speeds around europe and can put up with what is a genuinely fugly screen- MRA Vario every time :mrgreen: I hate the look of the thing, but won't part with it and me and Mrs Me have done a few miles here and there in wind free comfort :clap: :clap:
Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.

MRA Vario.... best screen by far but fookin ugly! :roll)

i use one for taking my wife as a pillion and riding in the winter due to it's brilliant wind protection but go back to my DB for the summer solo riding (looks a million times better). :D
