The addition on the GS is very good no flex at 60 mph plus... and no wind on my chest ,bit more noise but I have not tried it with ear plugs yet.Get the hand guards fitted wire up the heated vest and grips and I am Dragon ready.

I am curious to see what you have done with the screen extension, Michael.

Any chance of a photo? 8-)

I looked at a Madstad additional screen at £250 ,but take the nought off the end and divide by 3 = less than £8 QED

Got a Madstad on the BMW but looks pig ugly and was over £400 new with delivery. Works very well though and is very well made, the mounting plate looks like its bulletproof!

I sniped it off eBay for £50, the guy was upgrading to a 1200RT. Result :D

Your mod looks effective!

520 miles on the screen now Dragon and back it does not flex at 00 mph (insert whatever you like ) but if I lower my self by a couple of inches the wind and noise is gone ,so I am now going to try to mount it with the lower holes at the top of the original screen.

Tried the screen higher but it made no real difference :cry: so it is removed for now.

I've been fiddling with mine again. I have managed to get a fair bit more curvature on it, the downside being a larger gap between the screen and headlamp/bars.

It now hardly flexes at all up to the Cub's top speed, and still doesn''t create excessive noise. 8-)
