RedBird,
I'm one of those who has gone through four screens. I'm 6'2" and long torso. Stock screen was no good. Touring screen didn't work. Thunderbike sport better but not great. Thunderbike double bubble the best so far. Not perfect though. I've just ordered the Vario for this 1050 Tiger and it's on backorder. I'll let you know how it works when I finally get it. I thought about getting the CalSci screen but felt the Vario and its variable adjustments was a better option at this time. Time will tell.

I've also just cut down my stock screen to 1/8" above the black side stripe. I'll let you know about that too once I've ridden with it. I saw someone on the 1050 forum trip reports had done this and since my stock screen didn't work worth a darn, I don't mind experimenting with it. Hey, I've been through four screens!

I'm wonder too about replacing my mirrors to see if that cuts down this windbuffeting. Some on early version Tigers put bar end mirrors and said it cut the buffeting quite a bit. Anyone here try that?
