I've just ordered a 22" Touring Cee Baileys, as I find in the winter I need protection more than I dislike buffetting.

Should take about 2 weeks to arrive.

I'll post some comments when I've done a few runs with it.

Hi

I will look forward to your comments, to see how it compares with the MRA srceen.

I had the 22 inch touring screen and got shot of it pretty quickly as it really did not suit me .its very heavy and moves around a lot and i found the wind noises was not worth the small weather protection gains and the looks where just plain awful.these are my view and i do hope you get on well with it .

I have the short 12" version. High quality, but of course not a lot of protection from a short screen.

Cee Bailey's tall touring screen arrived... but I can't get the holes to line up for mounting.

I am awaiting a replacement.

NOTE:- The tallest (+4 inch) screen has a very large flip up... Very large. Much more pronounced than the picture on their website.

I suspect this will cause more turbulence that I imagined, I will let you know if I manage to get the thing attached.

At he moment though my back has gone pop, so I'll not be fitting anything just yet!

Replacement arrived. Still the holes don't line up properly so will be sending back.

I think their jig must be off as both screens holes are identically out by about a quarter inch.

Ah well....

Well, holes not in the correct places will not be good for sales, and the replacement is the same, that not very good. what do you thinks the odds will be for the third unit to be out of line.

I'm not giving it a "third time lucky" chance. It's refund time.

However I'm still in the market for a more protective than stock screen... any ideas?

Give motorworks a ring jivebiker,they replaced my standard screen and the holes lined up perfectly,.at least they'll' give you advice which i think you need! Good luck.

I'm using the Cee Bailey standard "Touring" windshield and had no problems with fitment (mounting holes). The bit of extra height and width is certainly welcome in rain and bad weather though the passenger apparently gets a bit more air.

I guess the "envelope" closes a little earlier behind the rider.

Another S rider here ordered the tallest one and found that he was getting too much heat from the oil radiator trapped behind the shield and a bit of "push " from behind so he drilled some pressure relief holes, about 1 1/2 - 2" in diameter low and to the center to help alleviate that problem.
