Default Laminar lip

has anyone used or seen this product used on a 1990 CBR1000F ? .
I've only just picked up the bike , beautiful on the fwy , but a bit more wind
protection would be great .

Can't say I have but we did have members make their own !


Laminar Lip runs close to a full MRA Screen anyways ....price wise
Liminar Lip Link 1000F

Full Touring MRA for me ran 112 bucks

Also not sure how good an LL would look on a stock CBR screen !


EDIT : THESE look kinda neat tho "

I'd fit a touring screen.
If it's not enough (I'm 6'0) and it's fine for me, fit a laminar lip to that.
Good then for an extra 4" (which they say is more than enough )

Gee, I had a look at those Laminar Trunkets etc - what a palaver to fit the tank one !
The rack fitting would be nice, but why won't someone make a 10-15 liter symmetrical rear box that doesn't look like half a guitar case ??

Sounds like it's a matter of lips and inches ...... but my MRA's (both Touring)
are more than sufficient and I'm 6 and a hair ..... a little bigger than Shadow !

I have not heard of the lip but Zero Gravity screen is an option.

Jeebus... touring screen with the lip? May as well build a cab on the thing. hehehe..

There have been quite a few times where I almost bought a touring screen, but didn't. I dunno... I don't have any real issues with the stock one.
And I'm almost 6'3".... quite a bit bigger than Sprock. lol..

Makes a BIG difference to the standard one, Dylan. I found that with the standard screen the wind hit me mid-chest, but with the touring screen it just catches the top of my helmet, and if I duck down an inch or so it goes right over the top. 100MPH feels like 60 MPH when you fit the bigger one. Also better in wet conditions.

^ I have to agree with that and add that a taller one makes a better bug smasher too.
It's a shame that Givi does not make mine anymore. I love it. I have tried to put the original one back on for summer ridding but put the Givi back on lickity split.

The taller one puts less strain on the neck and makes long rides more enjoyable.

Yeah Robbie , did not see one for it either.

Talking ZG Screens I have one (gen 3) if anyone wants it ...cost of shipping only
Took it off as it was not much better than a stocker ...... same issue for me .......
stocker and ZG screens .....wind hits you right in the chest ....
