Correct me if i am wrong, but it appears that i have the BMW touring screen, so when looking for a taller windshield, i already have the proper brackets needed?

also looking at my seat it appears to be a standard? or is this the low one?

as always thanks all

nylife,

If your seat has a little indented detail on the sides right below the seat surface then it is not low, the low seat has no detailing like that that I am aware of. I can't really see it in your picture.

That appears to be the tall bracket that will fit on the Cee Baileys or California Scientific. Seat looks the same as my regular seat, not low one.

I imagine you have read all over this board about the tilt block and taller windshield.

My original low seat had the indents - and the spare low seat on my shelf still has them. That's not a reliable indicator. If the seating area for the rider is only about 2" high (measured from the bottom of the lip on the side of the seat) and it actually slopes a bit rearwards - you have a low seat.

I'd suggest just ordering the block (in the world of farkles - it's cheap..) then order the windsceen one size larger then the vendor spec's - since the block lowers the top edge of the screen (by tipping it back toward the rider.) I know of no one who has gotten the block, or otherwise tilted their screen back who went back to the stock position. It just works better.
