I have an MRA high screen (although it's not the highest they do it has a slight flip). It works for me, and as soon as I knew it was an improvement I stuck my stock screen on eBay.
At 40mph+ it just moves the widblast from under my chinbar to the mid-point on my lid, making things much quieter and more stable. I also get a much better rain-clearing effect on my visor.
Not sure how much they cost. I got mine from a Trixter who was having problems with it on track days. Because it's opaque black you can't see through it. Pics here:

Thanks for your help guys, the messages are conflicting I suppose it is a case of "suck it and see"

Hi Headbanger
Looked at your photos & the screen looks a lot higher than standard and you reckoned that it works?
Do you mind me asking how tall you are?
Thanks

Re: High Screen
I have a taller screen for sale that worked fine for me until I made a few changes to the bike recently, it depends to a large extent on how tall you are & where your bars are positioned in my opinion.Gannet wrote:HI

I have moved my bars above the yolk & have lowered my footpegs, I am 6' 2" & the screen in the picture is now no good for me.

Re: High Screen
Hey, Doctor, fancy doing a swap for an MRA Touring screen with the moveable top bit, shown below, think its time to try something else for me, and I reckon that black one will look good if nothing else.box-doctor wrote:I have a taller screen for sale that worked fine for me until I made a few changes to the bike recently, it depends to a large extent on how tall you are & where your bars are positioned in my opinion.Gannet wrote:HI
