New Screen Options....

Help needed/advice pleaseage...

Picked up my bike last wenesday, love it!
Had a ride up to me mothers in northumberland on it friday, and back today.
Met peatbog while i was up there, and got mesell a luggage rack.
Now after getting a buffeting on my head, im now after a taller screen.
Is the metal mule a good option?
Or any others out there???

thanks again....

i was happy with the power bronze screen I got from M&P

I think it is the cheapest screen out there for the Tenere

Suffered the same thing, wind was catching me just under the peak of my lid so I got a Metal Mule screen � it's eased the problem considerably.

Still have buffeting probs across my shoulders from time to time though.

For info I'm 6'1" and wear a Hornet DS � other heights and lid combinations might be better, or worse

Absolute doddle, did mine today in about ten minutes. I used my mate to pull the bike onto the sidestand and jut undid the two nuts and slid the bolts out. He could adjust the level of the bike to allow me to slide the bolts back through. Easy peasy.

search the forum on 'turbulence' .... and you'll find some other solutions that contribute to a solution. A taller screen alone won't be enough.

Here's what I did: http://www.xt660.com/showpost.php?p=97210&postcount=65

this a real problem and a great shame on such a good bike. you just have to put up with it it seems.
the GIVI screen seems to be the biggest. tried them all......

I have a handlebar bag on mine to keep keys and phone and side stand puck in. It has done away with the buffeting for me and is usefull too.
