Has anybody got experience of the optional Aero screen for the '05 ST over the stock one?? It looks very subtle and well done in pictures.

I think it sucks. It directs the wind right on your face - I am 6'1". The buffeting is horrible. I hope the aftermarket comes up with something better.

Thanks alot. Funnily enough - I am also 6ft 1in. I didn't really mind the extra blast from the stock '05 screen although it was obviously more than the ZG Sport Touring screen on my '00 ST. Come to think of it, the screen I have now also directs the wind right onto my helmet.

Take care

Do the manufactures ever test the windscreens or do they just build what looks good, and leave it to us to weed them out?

Are there any after market screens available?

Very helpful reply and links!! Seems like screens are like everything else - they are personal and can't please everybody all of the time.

When will they produce a tinted aero screen?? It just looks so much better on this bike. Maybe a car window tinting specialist could do it..........

Still tryin' to figure out how soon I can get a blue ABS......

Strange thing is I'm 6'2" and I find the screen much better than the standard. There is some noisy airflow, but no wind pressure on my helmet.

I have a large head - maybe that's the problem! Unfortunately all that space was not taken up by gray matter - sounds hollow when someone knocks on my head.

Funny, but I have nothing on my 95 S3 and it feels better at high speeds - the wind is distributed across your chest. I usually try every windscreen on the market to try and find the perfect fit. As I get older I get more cranky and seek more comfort - as long as it doesn't look ugly.
