New tall screen

Piccies of my new touring screen from Puig are now in the main Gallery. Let me know what you think...

If I needed/wanted a taller screen I would buy that one. Definitely the best I have seen from an aesthetically point of view.

How does it perform ?

surprisingly well actually considering that it's only 6-10cm taller than stock. Loathed as I am to using motorways Friday night blast from SW London to Ashby de la Zouch was much more confy than usual. I sat at a steady 90 (even seeing 100MPH a couple of times... whilst overtaking... for safety reasons I like to pass cars quickly). I don't know whether it makes a difference but I also managed to get another 20 miles befor the reserve light kicked in on avaerage over the weekend. I think it's main advantage is the side bits; they seem to blow the air around me so far less buffeting. It came with stickers too! (although the 69 one I added myself and now think that I don't like it � I'd thought it a little saucy originally )

Not bad value for money I thought:

I'd have to agree I like the screen also. Better looking than the Yamaha variations.

I have just bought one of these also! I was hoping there would be a half decent looking screen out there somewhere. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I'm 5'6" and feel the wind on my shoulders and upper chest on the motorway. I was worried that a taller screen may just move that up to my head.

How tall are you midlife?

Unfortunately for me, /Yamaha don't do a taller screen for the XTR 2009.
Is your bike a 2009?
Where did you buy it from?
