My stock screen was fitted at 1st service. Since then, it deflects the wind to exactly the right height to make my lid vibrate, at speed (I.e., not national speed limit)

Bug deflection aside, I'm struggling to see the benefit. Just haven't found a screen I like the look of, yet.

Here's my Puig sport screen in black

Really keeps the wind of you with no buffeting, tested up to 100 so far (ahem- cough - cough )

Haha. Glad I'm not the only one. Within 10 minutes of riding my visor looks like a bug v bug war zone!

Fit the street rally seat. It raises you about 40mm lol

you should be a reviewer on mcn , give tips on maintenance and how to fix everything on the bike with just a hammer and screwdriver.

Anyone noticing any real benefit from a these screens?
I love the quirky asymmetry of the offset clock but you lose that with a screen, I need a good reason to commit sartorial suicide lol
I have the Puig also. For me, 5'6'', it really helps. It takes all wind pressure of the chest/body. Windblast hits upper visor area (which is also true without windscreen). So highway speeds are more comfortable and getting down low up to the speed limiter is fine. Without the screen, I felt like I was going to be ripped off the bike at 90mph and above.
