Which screen

cornishflat · Post by **cornishflat** » Fri Dec 07, 2012 7:39 pm

Hi all, first let me say my 1100s has Barbacks, so i sit a little higher than stock and if it helps i,m 5-10". I have the MRA Vario Touring Max screen fitted at present ( it came on the bike ) and i,m finding the 3" - 4" spoiler that adjusts at the top of the screen makes no improvement to the air flow which catches my helmet, theres no buffeting just a little more noise than i,d like. Has anyone tried the Powerbronze airflow doublebubble or the MRA touring screen which are both on ebay. I don,t really fancy the really tall Cee Baileys screen, just something to "flip" the air if its possible.

Thanks Bry

I have a powerbronze double bubble - not sure if it's called airflow and I find it ok I'm about 6' 1ish. Haven't managed to sort out posting pics but if you send me your e mail I'll send pics. Watch in MCN - Powerbronze often have a leaflet in giving discount. Think I only paid about £35 ish for mine

At 5'-7" I recon I qualify as 'short', but even with my bars in the 'lower' position I find wind noise excessively loud behind the standard screen. Sometimes to the point where I can't even hear my own TINITUS . The problem may not be the screen of course. The helmet may be the cause of the trouble. Noise, along with 'buffeting' really annoys me. So much so that I'm thinking of investing in a Schuberth C3. Claimed by the makers to be the 'quitest' helmet on the market it may solve the noise issue. Would'nt it be nice though, to have a few sheets of plastic, a band saw and the use of a wind tunnel for an hour or so.

BTW; what's a 'Cee Baileys screen' please?

Get yourself tucked in tighter.

I have a double bubble and that does me bang on - just have to duck yourself down a bit when you get into "ahem" speeds.

I agree. But not possible when 'traveling' with a tank bag on board. And anyway, adopting a 'dramatic' crouch at 80mph(and a bit ) on an M-way leaves us looking a little foolish especialy when being overtaken by a people-carrier (for instance) driven by a young mum with a load of kids in the back.

It looks even better with your feet on the pillion pegs.

I know where you,re coming from with the tuck in. I,m happy enough with no buffeting well into 3 figures and by "ducking" some of the noise can be alleviated. However if i can find a screen which "flips" the noise in the normal position i,d be well chuffed. Also with my other half on the back she,s not over keen with my ducking antics.

I'm 6'3 not a short arse 5,7 and have no problem with my power bronze screen, good quality and no need to tuck in at autobahn speeds. lol,
