My mate fell off his BMWR1150GS Adventure up in skye about 2 months ago Gravel at a corner Led to Road Bike interfaces colliding BUt He got away with a hole in his elbow and a scuffed up bike

Anyway I rebuilt it for him and was left with a scufffed and scratched BM GS adventure screen

So what do you think Looks like it was made for it Eh?? Pardon the crappy phone pics

Test run in the morning   :?:  :lol:

Nothing worse than windblast and buffeting fella except maybe being caught wearing your wifes knickers no matter how comfortable they are. Speaking of which, that screen looks mighty comfy. Let us know how you get on with it, I may join you :)

I have a similar windshield from MRA. Installed with distance bars to raise the upper part and lift air above my head, however suffered from buffeting. Compared it with the 1150 GS that I know works really well. The main difference was the small bend at the upper lip on the GS windshield. I used a heat blower and bent the upper 5 cm and voilá. It works perfect now, no buffeting.

Now wasn't that a coincidence Meeting at the Green Welly yesterday

The Verdict on the screen it worked and it takes a lot of pressure off the chest but has created some buffeting Which eased when I made a larger Air gap at the lower leadiing edge

:D It never ceases to amaze me just how small the world is. Only just got back from my tour of Scotland and the Outer Hebrides. Absolutely amazing places. I suppose I'll have to post a RR now. YAPI behaved flawlessly but is not a dual sport imo. Makes a reasonable sports tourer though

Well met!
