After reading all the info and feedback on windscreens, I thought I would share my recent experience purchasing a Touring Windscreen. I bought a 2004 R1150R with a sport windscreen and thought I needed some more protection from the wind around my helmet. (I wear earplugs for the noise) I bought a Cee-Bailey 19.5 European smoke tinted windscreen and put it on the same mounts that the sport screen had. On my first test ride I was very pleased. I like it at 45 miles an hour on the street and like it at 90 miles and hour on the freeway. I like to "tuck in" behind it sometimes just to get away from all the wind and enjoy high speed cruising. IF I ever figure out how to make the pictures small, I will post them. It looks like it belongs on the bike. I hope this helps some of you out there!

I have been extremely interested in putting a Cee Bailey on, now that my wife has been riding with me more and more.
I currently have a BMW Sport Screen on, and while it works great for me, my poor wife (who's 5'11") gets the stuffing knocked out of her.
I would also love to see some pics of your set up.

Bought an 02 in May. It came with some sort of factory screen. Needed more protection. Bought an Aeroflow touring shield. Marked improvement. Pricey, but I enjoy the ride much better. Wife, back seater, says it is a lot better on her too
