Swot I got at the mo.

Shoulders are taking a beating.

The MRA & Secdem are the only ones worth considering imo.

I've looked, but would like to see one fitted.

Still trying to work out if I'm Trinny or Suzanna..... ;-)

The bike is useful, when it comes to parking near work after 8am and when
Warrington council decide to do more unnecessary roadworks, causing 2 mile
tailbacks.....

The car is as bad on my neck - really need to get something with more
headroom. I loved my mum's old shogun, but I'm not sure I could afford to
run one.

I'll sort something, eventually.

I'll detail it here for future reference. There's some pics on
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/preston.kemp/tig/ The bottom mounting
points of the screen are meant to be one screw further down i.e. the
one level with the lights (see
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/preston.kemp/tig/Screen2.jpg).

To make it adjustable I just bolted an 'L' shape bracket to the fairing
in the middle of the screen cut-out, stuck a bolt in it to act as a
locating pin, then bolted the holey bracket to the screen
(http://homepage.ntlworld.com/preston.kemp/tig/Screen.jpg). I can angle
it forwards or backwards, using any of the holes to lock it in place on
the bolt in the 'L' bracket. There's a bit of velcro between the two
brackets to stop it bouncing off.

The silver strip you can see running round the front of the fairing
behind the screen is just a bit of bar to stiffen it as the full force
of the wind goes through two brackets & bends the middle of the fairing
otherwise.

It looks like shit, but works brilliantly, & lets me flop the screen
right back when off-road so I can see the front wheel, or on hot days
for a bit of extra air. In the fully forward position I can happily
cruise at not entirely legal speeds without any buffeting or wind noise.

There's a pic somewhere on the Yahoo group of an MRA in the standard
position. I think the owner had heated it & bent the top out to form a
flip.

 

Cheers

They've definitely helped my shoulders, which were fucking painful up to
this time last year when I started on Dona, a glucosamine sulphate
powder.

Now, I can swing from tall buildings and leap over buses.

I rather prefer the Tin man from the Wizard of Oz approach......

I think we're looking at a public warning for the trousers and sandals,
though.

N1200-VX - weighs in at 1250 grammes.

 

Err.. yessss. It maybe restricting bloodflow to the head but I'm
puzzled how muscle tightening can cause the inner ear to go haywire.

Triumph Tiger 'touring' screen - I got one for my tiger and now I get
hardly any wind-pressure on my upper torso and head. Which is good
because I too have arthritis in my upper spine (psoriatic arthritis not
rheumatoid or osteo).

I have a powerbronze tall screen on mine - still get the buffeting.

I've had a look about and discovered a good option, made by secdem, in
France.

Much wider and the flip looks about right to take the flow over my head.

I may grab one and try it.

You want something comfy with a big fairing and a backrest.

1: It won't fit through me yard gate.
2: I already own a car, TYVFM!

I was boring and bought the standard Triumph touring flipscreen. Which
is OK but at silly speeds does tend to make the front end
'interesting'..
