    I like the MRA as it sits higher, but its a light tint.

    The power bronze has the sticker that I like and is dark tint, but sits lower..

    Which should I keep?

    MRA for me. Always liked their design and top quality. You can get Repsol screen decals to finish it off, can't you?

    The Powerbronze with the decals would be my personal choice. But I'm short and have no trouble tucking in behind the screen.

    The MRA screen is a nice style though. But Powerbronze gets my vote.

    I have an MRA one on my 954. I needed to get a bit more protection at motorway speeds than the OEM gave me and deliberated for a long time over which double bubble to get. I couldn't take to the look of the very high 'McGuinness' type, although they would have been even better for my needs. In the end it was almost eeny meeny miny mo, but I was surprised at the quality of the MRA compared with the factory fitted. The plastic seems a much higher quality, is definitely thicker and the fittings lined up perfectly for the swap.

    I can't speak for the Powerbronze, but if I had to get another screen, I don't think I'd bother with the research, I'd go straight to the MRA.

    Are they both equally effective at wind protection?

    Purely from a cosmetic point of view I like the MRA

    Still prefer the second one, but you seem to be leaning towards the other :D

    Infact, I would have neither. Just buy an OEM one from Honda (racing version). After all , you would not put a Skoda windscreen in an Aston Martin; or would you?

    I bought the tinted Honda racing high screen for mine & it's developed what looks like air bubbles in the screen itself :eek:
