Which screen do I buy?

Post by Pussy »

Guys

After getting my ass blown off last weekend I can feel a screen coming on. Wunderlich do a Rockster Trimm Sport Screen and a taller Rockster TS screen in two heights (34 and 45cm). Has anybody fitted either and do they have any feedback on how good they are? Esp. interested in helmet buffeting.

Also has anybody fitted any other screens and would they recommend them? Look forward to hearing from you all.

Thanks

IMO,
I'd just buy a removable touring windscreen. Biggest one you can get.

I have a Laminar Lip. Really, it's no good for touring. Unless you duck your head the whole time. Plus it makes things twice as loud.

Driving the bike without a screen for long periods of time, plus frequently will either toughen you up or beat the hell out of you. hehehe

BMW did advertise this bike as urban, not touring. Touring on a naked bike is not for everyone :P

I added the OEM screen when I picked up my brand new Rockster (then, again, I had the opportunity for a 500+ mile test ride of a naked Rockster before I bought 8) ).

Never regretted it.

Here's a couple of pics of my bike with the Parabellum Cafe, I think it's called. It was the lowest and most narrow screen offered by Parabellum for this bike.

At first, I only installed it for trips, or wet/cold riding. Once the hardware is properly adjusted, it only takes about five minutes to remove or replace.
But once I got used to it, (mainly the looks of it,) I just left it on.

I like an unencumbered bike, so this is enough protection for me, but Parabellum sells larger touring screens as well.

Fit, hardware, mounting instructions were all first class, IMO. And it is reasonably priced.

BTW, I'm 5 ft 10 in , to give an idea of the height of the screen.
