    Did have the original high honda screen till my accident, picked up a skidmarx John mcguiness screen on ebay for £33 including delivery second hand, have a look for the demon Tweeks outlet store as they usually have a few screens cheap

    Well the John mcguiness ones must be since he developed them for the TTs' I believe. Though some may baulk at the looks I wouldn't be without mine at M-way speeds.

    I put the honda racing screen on before I had got the bike out the garage the first time. used it for a year but after fitting the skidmarx John mcguiness screen I would not go back. yes it's large but great for track or touring and keeps me out of the wind blast better

    Mines got a MRA Double Bubble on it. Seems fine, not heard of them before this though.

    double bubble is all you need,no need for the big TT version.

    £50 sounds about right new.

    I wouldn't be without my John mcguiness screen. Some say they look ugly but if you do any touring or even on a Sunday ride-out how they look comes a long way second after half hour or so being blasted by the wind. I've just recently bought a clear one from a fellow forum member because my GoPro is mounted on the headstock and my smoked screen made all my vid's look too dark.

    I suppose when you're of a certain age and cannot crouch down at all without seizing up and weigh the same as a small Bison then the McGuiness Screen is a must?

    You're right there SW. It is a world of pain. Mind you, at 73, with a 36" waist and a 47"chest, I'm still fit enough to hold down a hard, physically demanding job and my gaffer takes no prisoners nor carries any passengers.

    Getting old? It's not for the faint-hearted is it mate. :D


    My office this week....;)
