There is massive amounts of discussion on the web regarding the benefits (or not) of after market screens for the Strom. Has anyone experimented?

I notice the Powerbronze screen is much cheaper than the MRA, has anyone used the Powerbronze?

Nope, standard on lowest setting is fine for me at 5' 7". No real buffeting, have done 6-700 mile days with no problems.

I'll be investing in one soon as the wind is real bad after about 45mph(6ft tall and 2 and half foot shoulders) and that with the standard screen on full adjustment :( not sure which make yet, will let you know as soon as.

The MRA screen is supposed to be good but it's an expensive experiment...Let us know what you buy and how it goes

I know a few strom owners who have gone for the Suzuki sport screen (small black one), they swear by them, almost all buffeting has gone.

Hmmm so less is more?

Is this true for taller riders?

If I remember right I put a tall flip screen on my ZZR11 and there was loads more wind and buffering
so less could be better Mmmm

I have both the small Suzuki sports screen and the larger standard screen.

Personally I find the larger screen better. I'm 6' 4" and there is definitely less buffeting with the larger screen. I have to over extend the screen a little by using only the top 2 bolt positions but it's a lot better.

Have seen a screen available from the US that is wider and taller than the standard screen - may try that. Can be seen on Ebay.

I'm a looks whore and use the small screen if I'm dodging about around towns but if going on a run I swap to the larger screen :D

Hello all, I have found the standard screen gives less buffeting above 60mph at the lowest setting, at the same speed with the screen on the highest it's a lot worse. Waiting for my MRA Vario atthe moment, I'll let you know.

Excellent stuff, you lot spend the money, do the experiments and tell me what to buy.. :D

Hmmm I may have got the raw deal after all

Is anyone going to be bidding on that screen on Ebay ?

Just don't want to get into a bidding war with anyone from here and upset anyone.

[b]Evening all, I now have the MRA Vario fitted, and today I have taken it down to the lowest height setting and the deflector fully out. Buffeting does seem better as yesterday it was the same at 80 -85 (70 officer, honest) as it was before at 60. I will tryto do some comparative tests and post the results and what works for me..
Looks like I'll have to spend time onthe bike over the next few days, all in the name of science of course. Ho hum![/b]
