Does anyone know a source here in USA to get a higher than stock windscreen for my 1995 Tiger? Those of you that have done this, have you been satisfied in doing so. I'm just looking to get a bit more wind off me for a more comfortable ride. Thanks for reading.

This one at twisted throttle ..........but it doesn't do much for ya , unless you put spacers behind the top two mounts to stand it more upright .


And I like the Powerbronze screen which doesn't really get much air off your body , but does create a nice little buffer zone right in front of your helmet , which keeps your head from bouncing around at 80 mph on the superslab.

Mustang,
 You have been a very good consistant resource for me with this Tiger. Thanks!  
 Today I changed the coolant, oil, filter, and fuel filter. You know the bike just never has started real well. Figured it had original plugs in it, got some here locally and put them in. While I had the tank off I looked things over here and there and found that the choke fork linkage on the right carb was not engaged in the small shaft coming out of carb. I'm thinking that is why it has been starting hard. Overall the bike is in great shape and sure looking forward to riding it if weather gets better.

Secdem (a French company) also makes nice screens which are a little wider so there's not much buffeting or windpressure up to 160 km/h (depends on your height though.....I'm 1.83 m tall).


You need the Bullster version (mine is smoke grey) type BT011HP.

Luckily I found a distributeur in the Netherlands who could order it.
It's not cheap though.....app. € 120,00

I also can recommend the Secdem/Bullster wide screen. Good looks and no buffeting (I'm 176 cm), mine was clear. Sadly I sold it and now the distributer in Sweden has closed down.

An update of this thread. I have tested the MRA windshield with a 5 cm custom made spoiler (heat and bend). The windshield is tilted upwards using a auxiliary light stabilizing rod. The screen works really well for me (176 cm). With the raised screen I could remove the original screen and place a GPS unit there instead with (fairly) good weather protection. My GPS (Garmin nuvi 1490T) is not waterproof so I removed it during heavy rain. I tested this setup recently with a prototype mount using a RAM GPS cradle (http://www.gpscity.com). Worked really well.
