Okay, enough of the the teasing. Spill the beans you two. Do you like them? How is the air flow/buffeting?
Throw us a bone here

What bike is that? The fairing and headlight doesn't look familiar.

Touring screens is a hit. Got four different my self to choose from, and the variotouring screen from MRA is brilliant. It's got a small spoiler in the top of the windscreen and can be adjusted to whatever need you may have, from very high touring style, to very low. With the spoiler in the highest pos. 180 km/h is quite comfy, even with my 190 cm.

Here it is. And a traditionally touring screen to compare it with.

Hmmm
Thank you for the pictures.
I am 1,95 tall so I am suffering from the wind.
However I don“t find the variotouring screen attractive. (But I love your bike)
Do you think it is the best one because it is the highest or because it has the 2 screens?
Can you recommend any other screen for a tall guy?

I recomend it because it has a lot of different adjustment possibility's.
If you look at the other picture I posted, it showing another MRA screen, but just a high touring screen. MRA produces a lot of different screens, so I surgest yuo chech them out on the internet. You can even get a MRA screen in blue to match your bike if that was something...

Now when your a Swede, you should be able to read danish ;-) So here is a homepage in Denmark who's selling MRA screens

http://www.sydfynmc.dk/

Here is a pic of one of the screens to your model CBR from that page.

Hope you find what your looking for :-)

Noe,
Thanks for the pictures. The Vario is ugly, but I'm a function before form guy anyway. However the Vario is also more expensive the the standard touring screen. In your opinion, is it worth the extra? It's about $50 US more. I guess what I'm asking is in the best postition is it that much better then the standard touring screen? I'm assuming that you can also adjust it for more air on warm days, less air on cooler days? Also being up here in the pacific northwet, how is it in the rain.
Sorry for all the questions, but hey, you are our Guinea pig, so to speak
