ST2 screen extension or flip

[Loz ST2]

Does anyone know of a supplier for screen extensions or one of those Adjustable spoilers for height and angle you fix to a standard screen.:confused:

[Jools]

Don't know of one of them adjustable spoilers for an ST. What are you trying to do with it?

I'm an average height for a bloke in the UK at 5' 9", but I manage this by having the cunning plan of having an above average body length to offset my less than average short stumpy legs - or to put it like my grandad "Yer a short leg un, long back un". All this means that, like John Wayne, I sit pretty tall in the saddle, while still having to be on tiptoes to reach the ground.

Sitting tall puts my lid into turbulent air on the ST and my head waggles around like the Churchill dog with a standard screen. I can't stand the sight of the higher touring kits, but I have had good luck cutting the standard screen down a bit, seems to lower the point where the air is turbulent, and put's my bonce into a clean airstream - increases the wind blast a bit, but cuts the turbulence so I can keep my head still.

I am 6' 2" and found the STD screen a bit short, and as you put it "my head waggles around like the Churchill dog" so I was after something a bit higher, I know they spoil the look, but comfort can come at a price sometimes.

Im 6ft tall, my fixed height touring screen I bought of someone on here, (might have been Jools) has Zero Gravity on it and from memory is about 2" higher than the standard fitted to my ST4. I have no problem touring at 80/90 on Motorways for long distances

Screen arrived today from Calsport, just fitted it and looks better about 2" higher than my original one. Excellent quality it fitted straight on. Off to work tomorrow on the bike to test it out. :)

Hi Loz,

Could you report on if it has improved things and maybe post some pictures

Thanks

[YMFB]

just wot i was going to say

[Loz ST2]

Sorry for the delay on the result, but it’s much better 70-80mph is 100% improvement I can even open the visor at most speeds plus the wind noise is much less. So overall a excellent buy, with a good quality product and very effective, Will get some photos over the weekend. Next on the list is new chain & sprockets any good recommendations for good value suppliers.
