    Hi,

    I have a dark screen fitted to my RR5 - i find it is too low - and seen some on bikes that are allot higher.

    Does anyone know where i can get one from at a decent price?

    Sam If I remember correctly your not overly tall so double bubble will be more than enough

    I had an MRA screen on my 04, it looked good, is well made, and 20mm higher than standard. Worth a look on eBay as they do come up from time to time.

    I started out with a standard screen on my 06 and felt the wind blast was not very good. I then bought a Zero Gravity Corsa screen which is higher and made it easier to tuck in behind. In my normal riding position, however, it pushed the air blast up onto my helmet more thus increasing pressure on my helmet and created more noise.

    I found the stock screen better, so I changed it back to that, but I am still not happy with it. Apparently Santa is buying me a Fabbri Double Bubble, which I will obviously try out after Xmas. So I can give you some feedback on that if it helps.

    I think the problem is people are different heights and shapes, I am only 5' 9" but quite a stocky build. Some screens create vibration on my shoulders at high speed which is really annoying. If the new one does not work out I will go back to stock and sell the ZG Corsa and the Fabbri.

    Personally, if I have to compromise I have the wind blast on my chest than my helmet, at least that way it takes a little weight off the wrists.

    Race screens are pretty good at raising the wind buffing over you.

    Ive used a Zero Gravity Corsa and "Race screen" and both are equally as good tbh. Only difference is one was 20quid and one was 80... !!
