which windscreen is this?

Post by llahbocaj »

Can anyone tell me which windscreen this is? My Parabellum is pretty much beat to pieces after a rock and two birds...it's time to start looking for a replacement.

You can say that again. I was looking at it thinking "I want mine to look like that" and now that my Parabellum has seen the sharp end of a rock and two birds it might be time for a change.

To be clear, this is the BMW tinted sport shield or the ceebailey/other manufacturer?

Yes, it is the tinted BMW sport shield. The Cee Bailey is wider at the top.

THat is one great lookin' Roadster.

Bear in mind that the Sport shield will give limited rock and bird protection. I have a tinted Sport shield I bought used to try out. In the summer I take off the touring screen off and install the Sport screen. Looks cool, it's fun. But remember I only flit 20 miles up and down I-5 and 405 to and from work. If I'm going for a long ride the touring screen goes back on. Not much rain protection in the Sport screen, the air hits me at about chest level. Not bad, but a lot more airflow than I want hitting me at highway speeds. Myself, I've been wondering what the comparison is between the touring screen and the Cee Bailys 21" euro screen, or the 19.5" screen. I went down to South Sound BMW, the supposed "fit you up" dealer for Cee Bailys, and they (A) Don't know much, and (B) Don't seem to have much for stock. They did offer to call Cee Bailys for measurements on the screen. What I'd really like to know is the distance between the upper mount holes and the top of their screen. (Oops. sorry for the hijack!)

And back to your picture, do you know what that y-pipe is on the cool red 1150 ?
