Hi, I would like opinions on this windscreen, mra vario touring screen ... I like the looks, but I  plan on putting on alot of highway miles, and I am 6 ' tall, and wondering how much wind is hitting the body, and if it is tiring, and also hitting the helmet, and if that gets old.
I have had bikes with small screens and have been happy with them.( I wear full face helmet). They directed the wind away from the torso, and was easy to ride all day. Just want to hear all I can before I spend the cash, and I don't want to end up buying the Honda tall because this doesn't do the job...

What are you gonna attach it to , on top of a windshield  ??



If I like to go fast , does that make me a racist ???

Here's my BMW with the screen you are asking about , works for me
It pushes the air over my helmet , no buffeting , unless I am going over 80 , then I might fell a little
I will be putting one on my Valk , when it comes

Kidd, I don't believe that screen will fit the Valkyrie. I've provided a link to the MRA Touring screen that I have on my Valkyrie. I have the smoke screen. Seems to work for me at 5'-9". Before the wind was terrible and tiring. There is a few guys on the Honda Valkyrie F6C forum that have them.

I love to go fast, but my wallet doesn't! Maybe I should leave my wallet home!

Scott, while riding yesterday I thought about your question of wind protection using the MRA Vario Touring screen. I'm 5'-9" and the screen works well enough for me. I raised up on the seat ~3-4" and wouldn't recommend using this screen at your height. I had wind hitting my outside shoulders and helmet buffeting at 70mph. I could imagine it being fatiguing after a while.  :-\

If you do a search there are some that had a smaller screen and have not been happy with it. I don't remember anyone mentioning that screen in particular though. I have the Honda oem tall screen and have been happy I have had it especially on windy days.
