Could you not find a bigger screen?!!
I've been looking into that corrugated plastic sheet from B&Q, heard the ripples make it more aerodynamic..watch this space

You seen the Madstad screen? It's masssssive!
Davy, I've only had my bike out once since the end of October. How's your getting on with the dreaded salt? Do you use ACF-50 spray?

why don't people just get a tracer if they are going to stick that plank on the bike lol
Ha ha, that screen will give you an extra 5mph when going downwind.
The bike is actually doing quite well as far as rust goes, I've been using ACF-50 since I got the bike usually once or twice a week. The only bits to show rust are a couple of hose clips behind the exhaust headers and the inside edges of the brake rotors. One bit though that I discovered this weekend was up on the headstock top bearing..not sure if it was rust or just muck but it got cleaned and sprayed so I'll keep an eye on it.
I think I've been guilty of trying to turn my MT into a Tracer for the winter, but as soon as the nicer weather comes most of those bits are coming off, including the screen and a Yam one to replace it.. mind you still toying with the idea of trading it for the Tracer later anyway but I do change my mind a lot lol
+1 on that..................
nice oneI need to take things a bit slower at my age..and I like the colour. Thought the deep Armor looked like an old womans hair dye, black but with a purple tint

some more photos, again for no reason
On another note, about 20 mins before I took these I witnessed another rider have an off. I was poodling along 'slightly' above the speed limit and noticed another bike in my mirrors, I kept to the inside of the road which I suppose encouraged him to overtake me and the first right hander we came to he must have misjudged his line and ran wide, I didn't think he was going too fast for the corner, he jumped the kerb and onto the grass, did a great job of missing a large road sign but next to it the roadside kerb had a 'v' in it for a syver, he hit that and went airborn and he and the bike ended siding about 50 yards down the middle of the road.
It looked a sore one but the guy insisted he was ok, he was wearing textiles which were shredded, helmet visor was off, the bike I think was a Suzuki 900 RF (not sure though) looked as you'd expect but started and was drive-able minus a few bits. Kind of just wish I'd pinned it and didn't let him overtake, although I know that's me being stupid lol.

Those things only work at subsonic speeds.
Fine for a Tracer but useless on the MT

It is the MRA Vario Touring screen, works fine at high speed in it's highest position. It does increase wind noise though.
