    Always struggled with screens and im 6’2”

    I just find it directs it from chest area that props you up a bit, to twice as much around helmet.

    Went back to standard to help a dodgy shoulder as it lifted me from bars a little at a slightly earlier speed.

    That's where I got mine from. They sent me 2 by mistake lol but I sent the spare back. I'd never heard of them before buying the screen but they have been great and very helpful guys.

    Without a rider it looks weird. With a rider it looks ok. people buy the double bubble more often because it doesn't look as weird with or without rider. I like the Corsa but only for its performance, but I never liked it's look on my blade when off it.

    Mine arrived today and i think it is spot on, have not rode the bike yet with it fitted but looks like it will be much more effective

    after years of experimenting my conclusion is that if you or someone can nail the best screeen, rider frame, helmet and bike for aerodynamics and noise combination, they should got & get rich advising the F1 idiots about aerodynamics and get super super rich.

    Commissions appreciated:(

    i question for all you tall riders, having a quick blast today i hit 3 figures on a nice Safe private stretch of road;) at around 130 i had to back off due to the fact my elbows were on my legs, couldnt get any lower and the wind was beating me up, it may be that im just getting old and used to bikes with more protection, how do you guys find it.

    I'm 6f 2' ......if you're tall like me all you can do is try sliding your arse back in the seat as far as you can. At those sort of speeds though you're going to get wind blast no matter what screen you've got.

    Just got to grin and bare it!! ;)

    Well I am only 6" 1" And so can get behind my double bubble track screen if I need to have less wind, I usually find eating less beans does the trick though, no more windy blasts then :D
