I know I'll probably make some people mad asking about screens, but...
Fred,
Is the sport screen any less noisy than the stock one? The pressure from wind blast on the highway isn't too bad. What is wierd is all the noise I hear for as little pressure that I feel on my helmet and body.
I'm only 6ft with my riding boots on. I'm thinking about the largest Cee Bailey's screen, hoping it might be an improvement for me. However, I don't like the idea of not being able to turn the bike all the way without the mirrors hitting it. Still, I wonder if Nate's problem with buffeting wouldn't be as bad for me, since I'm 4 inches shorter. I need to read the responses again to see if I can find a 6 footer who has responded.
I'm not looking for miracles, or Gold Wing like comfort, just something a little better than stock in terms of protection and noise. After reading everything I can find on the board, it seems to be one of the few problems on the bike for which there is not a widely accepted solution that a majority agrees is an improvement. From what I can gather, here is the list of all my choices, none of which are really highly endorsed by a lot of people:
1) Taller screen from Triumph
2) Cee Bailey's 1 and 2
3) MRA Vario
4) Some combination of the above and some home grown hacking / spacing / etc.
Did I miss anything?
Oh well, I still love the bike and can deal with it. I'm going to get some earplugs and I'll just have to buy more gear so I don't freeze in the colder weather I guess.
