Here it is. And a traditionally touring screen to compare it with.

Hmmm
Thank you for the pictures.
I am 1,95 tall so I am suffering from the wind.
However I don´t find the variotouring screen attractive. (But I love your bike)
Do you think it is the best one because it is the highest or because it has the 2 screens?
Can you recommend any other screen for a tall guy?

I recomend it because it has a lot of different adjustment possibility's.
If you look at the other picture I posted, it showing another MRA screen, but just a high touring screen. MRA produces a lot of different screens, so I surgest yuo chech them out on the internet. You can even get a MRA screen in blue to match your bike if that was something...

Now when your a Swede, you should be able to read danish ;-) So here is a homepage in Denmark who's selling MRA screens

http://www.sydfynmc.dk/

Here is a pic of one of the screens to your model CBR from that page.

Hope you find what your looking for :-)

Noe,
Thanks for the pictures. The Vario is ugly, but I'm a function before form guy anyway. However the Vario is also more expensive the the standard touring screen. In your opinion, is it worth the extra? It's about $50 US more. I guess what I'm asking is in the best postition is it that much better then the standard touring screen? I'm assuming that you can also adjust it for more air on warm days, less air on cooler days? Also being up here in the pacific northwet, how is it in the rain.
Sorry for all the questions, but hey, you are our Guinea pig, so to speak

Compared to the big touring screen there is no difference in weather protection. When you raise that little spoiler to it's full it is as good as the big screen. I havn't been testing it in heavy rain yet, but in normal rain there is no pobs. The great thing about it is that I don't think it shows that much, and when you lower the spoiler completely it kinda looks like the standart low screen, because I in general think that touring screens don't look that fantastic. another positiv thing is that when you lover that spoiler the windpressure increases and that forces me to drive slower on the highway, saving me a lot of money :-)
Futher more you can adjust the spoiler so the turbulence around the screen fits your particular height.

Wether or not it is ugly is a matter of taste, but practical it sure is.

I looked at your pictures again, and I see what you mean about the touring screen being taller. I didn't notice that the first time. Well... maybe the vario is worth the extra $$ after all. I think I will go with the vario based on what you have stated. Thanks for taking the time to post your comments!

Noe,

I noticed in that first picture, you have a custom seat on your CBR. Where did you find a seat that has that kind of riser for the driver?? Is this a custom made seat and where can I get one being in NY? Thanks.

The seat is costum Bagster from France. It came along with the bike when i bought it, but I know that the previous owner designed the seat himself so it fitted the bikes coloures and shiped a standard seat to Bagster.
I think you also can by a prefabricated seat, but without the CBR sign and colours to match the bike.

Try to look at this websites
