Just purchased a new smoked screen from Martin up in Qld [wont hold that against him!] This I fitted in less than 20 mins and went for a short ride what a difference this makes although I need to get used to it being there now. Thanks to Martin for making some in the smoke colour also was also very quick to get it delivered after his stock came in.

The reason I added the screen was ,with the standard screen and 4" risers the wind at 100ks on freeways was beating me in the chest and then rushing up under the helmet trying to push it off. Now the wind just brushes your arms at the same speed and it is quieter for wind in the helmet. Still have to play with adjustment because when you start running hard on the freeway the wind now seems to be rolling around my shoulders and kind of pushing me forward, not sure wether to move the screen out or straighten it up , I never run with a screen high enough for me to look thru it straight ahead as you know in the rain and at night all you see is star flashes on the screen and reduces your visability by a long way.

It looks very upright in your photos. Try pulling the bottom edge forward a bit to increase the angle. Keeping plenty of room between the screen and the bodywork reduced the negative pressure behind the screen and minimizes the turbulence.
