Default Sport Touring screen purchase help

Hi All, looked on ebay and everywhere else. Trying to buy a touring screen for my 98 CBR, preferably in tint. Sports type readily available but thats all I can find. Was hoping someone knows a shop with one in stock, preferably a gravity screen part#23-422. Any help VERRRRY much appreciated, thankyou.

Try looking for the MRA Vario windshields. They have a few options.
Here in the U.S. I just purchased the Winshield Extension made by MRA Vario. I bought it from Twistedthrottle.com. When it arrives I will install it on my Zerogravity Windscreen on '90 CBR 1000F.

You can also try "laminar lip" for windscreen extension if you want to go that route (instead of new windshiled).

Thanks Paul and shadow, will send some emails to both. Will let you know what I end up with. Do you think that an extra 2-3cm taller than original screen will make a difference to buffetting? Shadow I thought I saw a picture of your bike with the adjustable top peice, did you like the concept and did it work mate?

Mine isn't adjustable but the extra height makes a HUGE difference.
With the higher screen I thought I was doing around 120 KPH and looked down - over 160KPH !! eek !

I had mine sent from the UK - secondhand on e-Bay for 10 pounds and postage
Worth every penny IMO

A friend of mine had the Vario screen on his bike which is adjustable, and he said it was excellent.
Looks a bit different though.........

They come up on e-Bay UK quite offen, if you're prepared to wait.
The German e-Bay have them too www.e-Bay.de

Attached pics may help

Thanks Shadow, its great to hear from guys that have used/ tried them out, as all manufacturers claim there products are great but some are just gimmicks. PS thats a nice looking cane you have there mate. Can see she is in good hands.

I ended up buying one of these a Super G-FORCE in light smoke and the acrylic bit to drill holes. Cant wait to fit and try it out. I know anything will be better than the stock screens for the country rides.

Some of our members have had trouble with the fit of the Gustaffson screen - check it before you drill any holes to makes sure it isn't warped.
Our friend Hardcorp had a problem in the US and they weren't too helpful.

Just be aware..........
