Have you considered cutting the screen down to a more rounded level ? Similar if not lower than the 08 models ?


I think the 955 Tiger's screens direct the wind onto you giving a buffering effect that most Tiger riders complain of. It's obviously those with a certain height that are affected most.

Re-shaping the screen lower, whilst it doesn't offer the same protection at least disperses the concentrated wind buffering. I'm thinking more fly-screen design than the present fuller screen.

You don't have to destroy your original screen for that, make a mock-up with some bendable plastic or perspex and fit it. Experiment with height. Then if you're happy cut or get the original screen cut to the same shape.

On a looks basis I think it would also improve the 955 Tigers appearance.

Ride on !
