Title: Which screen ?
Post by: stevie-m on June 04, 2010, 21:53:52

Of the 2 MRA Vario screens, which one is best 1 to go for, the standard or the tall one.

Any help is much appreciated.

Seems to depend on your height, how tall are you will be first question most ask on here ;)

If you are tall, the tall one. If you are of standard height, the standard one :grin:

In reality it depends not just on overall height but body length, seat height, typical riding position etc I.e. how high your eyes are. As a very rough rule of thumb maybe if you are 6 foot plus then start to consider the tall one, but the only safe way is to try it. Nowt worse than looking through the top of a screen...  An adjustable bracket like a Madstat gives you huge flexibility here.

If I get round to it today I'll measure the height of my (tall) MRA above the tank...

Thanks for the replies, I'm 6' 1 and ride quite upright so will probably go down the tall route.
