Nice and quality product.. i use it on my previous V-strom as an OEM part (Suzuki Smoke Vario Screen made by MRA in Germany with suzuki logo 180 euros) 6 years ago..
Perfect for touring use... on sporty style.

Hi JIm, I have the vario screen and whilst it is a great quality product, But I have found that I do not use it! The only issue is that the screen mounts to the metal brackets with rubber captive nuts, and the brackets fit to the bike also with rubber captive nuts. This make it really move a lot when riding (I guess 1/2 to 3/4 inch at the top of the screen) Whilst I am sure this is not a safety issue I find it quite off putting when riding. I am trying to find a way of securing it better. Would be interested to here your thoughts when you have it fitted

Hi Trevor,

I have full workshop facilities so I will be dealing with this issue. The screen arrived in Australia on Wednesday and is now in the hands of AusPost.

Hi Jim
Got a nice letter from my MRA dealers, and some improved mounting brackets (3 piece instead of two pictured), apparantly after long term testing, they found the same as me, just to much movement. Fitted them this morning and been out and done about a hundred miles today. The movement is much much better, but they is a hell of a load of wind noise, tried with two helmets, but will be going back to the little Yamaha screen next weekend.

I did test a lot of screen on my FZ6R. There's 2 way of doing it. Gwing style or shorty. I use a FZ1N Puig screen on my FZ09 and it's just enough to remive most of the wind blast off my chest but still flow plenty of clean air around shoulder and helmet area.

Still can't believe that's all they did with the updated version. Those plastic are not hard point, not string enough to hold that much load IMO.

My screenn has arrived. It took 5 days to get to Australia then AusPost took a week to get it to me.

For those that like a good look.

Hi Jim, have you been out for a ride yet, what do you think? I keep switching between the MRA and the Yamaha tiny screen. Still not sure which has less wind blast.

Yes I have and it's very good. The wind just hits the top of my shoulders. The movement is not great with the new brackets. I'm not sure about the wind noise. After reading your comment I was listening for it. I can't decide if the lack of pressure means you expect a lot less noise but you get the same noise because your helmet is still in the wind. I have to got out with a backpack and remove the screen mid trip to do a real comparison.
