I think if you could add something like that to your mix you'd sell tons. Something that would bolt on to the mirage or the desierto systems.

mirage windscreen cuz I detested the one that came with the bike.....

I recently installed the CalSci 20" windscreen on my GS8 and went for on a nine-hundred mile trip. AMAZING. Absolutely leaps and bounds better than the OEM BMW screen. I'm 6'1 with a 32" inseam and the air stream hit the top of my helmet providing some much welcomed air flow, perfect. I have the screen adjusted to its most "laid back" position. Wind noise was cut down dramatically. I now listen to tunes at 2/3rds volume from my iTouch, instead of 95%. All in all, a great purchase. Well worth the two-hundred bucks!

I ordered bar risers today. So, adjustments may have to be made. Maybe move the screen to the "middle" position, since I will be sitting taller. I'll keep you posted.

Being able to adjust the screen while going down the road was one of the things I really liked about my FJR. That and the motor. I really miss that motor

If you come up with something let us know.

Jon...

Off topic:
If you have not experienced the FJR 3rd gear roll-on from 40 mph to 90+ mph you are in for a treat

I wonder if:
some version of the motor/jack screw from "some as yet to be identified" car with flip-up head lights would work?
Electric antenna motor?
mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hi,
I´ve been using the WRS windscreen for some time now, but only for my daily commute at urban low speed areas, occasionally topping 120 km/h. At those speeds, the noise inside my helmet was reduced a lot, as well as the buffeting. Since then I´ve been able to use my Cardo G4 to listen music at a much lower volume...
The finish is very good and the material appears to be very resistent to scratches, but the windscreen originaly shakes a bit, so I´ve installed the bwm touring windscreen support...Actually, I´m very satisfied with this combination (WRS + bmw support) plus Touratech handguards.

Regards

If you have the BMW touring screen could you take a pic with the comparison? How tall are you and what is your inseam?

I have a BMW touring screen and have vowed to not put it back on. For the time being a I have F658GS screen on my bike.

Thanks.

Hmm... Well that doesn't sound terribly inspiring... I thought it looked pretty decent in the pics on their web site but they don't show it from a lot of angles there.
