I know this was asked some time ago but I don't think it was answered. Has anyone had any experience with the Parabellum Sport Windshield? Note: I'm referring to the Sport model--not the Scout, which is totally different and not my thing.
Thanks:

I looked but found nothiing for the R1200R. Seems there was something for the R1150R though not what I'd call sporty.

There's a picture of what I'm talking about on page 121 of the June 2008 issue of BMW Owners News (upper left hand corner of the Parabellum ad). At 24 inches, it's probably too tall for me. Someday I'll figure out how to post pictures here.

OK I looked at it there. It seems to me that all of Parabellums offerings are too large looking for my tastes. I kinda like the shape of the sport but it is way too tall for me.

It's on their website
http://www.parabellum.com/ > Sport Shield for the R1200R
Uses new brackets - me no like (there's a looong engineering discussion on another thread). These bracket look good, but they don't allow screen swaps and I'd worry (porbably unnecessarily) about how the wind forces are distributed.
The bigger parabellum replacement shield uses the BMW touring screen bracket, which makes swapping about easier. I also have the BMW touring screen - swap is under 5 min. FWIW, the Cee Baileys screens seem thicker and better finished, IMHO, but the Parabellum has better coverage and is quieter in use - for me.
