Where can I get a touring style windshield? Taller & wider.
Does this create other problems? I am 60 and hate the ducking down in windy Saskatchewan. Just got this bike and so far seems pretty close to perfect. Ed in Saskatoon

This is what i've heard from someone: taller, or touring screens, although they protect you better than the stock one against the wind, they increase the bikes fuel consumption. Perhaps the guys here who have installed touring screens know better.

I have the MRA Vario Touring and love it. You can adjust the flap for more or less wind protection

Twisted Throttle sells it. their service and support are fantastic

here's a picture of my bike with the screenImage

the top case is the Astra from Coocase. it comes with LED running lights, LED brakelights, remote unlock and alarm

the side cases are Givi E21's

all from Twisted Throttle. I have purchased several items from them, including the MRA screen, and have been most pleased with their service. The remote keyfob on the top case was dead on arrival when it was delivered. Rather than have me send it back, and wait for a replacement, they immediately sent out a replacement and trusted me to return the bad one. Can't beat service like that. They made a friend and customer for life.

Ride safe and be happy
