A while back there was a discussion of MRA Touring screens. They also have a Sport Screen that aappears to be about as tall or just a little taller than the stock screen, but has a lip across the top. I wonder if it would deflect the turbulent air over the head of a 6'1" rider. Has anyone tried one, or something like it?

I just put my GIVI back on for the fall riding. It flares up and tosses air flow over head. It is not turbulent. I am also 6'1". I think you can get them for '90 and up. It's much better than the Honda one when it gets cold. I stop riding when my face shield freezes up and I can't see.

Thanks for information. I think I'll try one and see how it works.

Bought a Double bubble for mine this week as I am 6 foot 3 and with the standard one I was getting blown around big time but with this new one Pics attached all is good, sure you have some wind but it is great now to have visor up or talking on bike communication sys with wife. I bought it from a company on Brisbane for $ 140 I thoguth it was a good buy at that price

I have a touring windshield and at 6'1 I find that most of the wind is deflected away from my face. If I really lean forward onto the bike then the resistance is minimal. Chech out my pictures posted on a recent thread, see what you think?
