That's why I suggested the spacers several posts ago.

But that does look ugly with the black base, compared to the all-tint version on eBay. I think you've chosen the best-looking option.

Oh yes I did totally forget about the spacers thanks there is another version on their website but it does have the black base but clear tint

Somehow, that black bit makes it look like the sort of windshield you'd put on a Honda 90!

Ya I emailed them themselves to see if they have the 47cm wide one in all clear or light smoke like on EBAY I had forgotten about the spacers I can add height afterwards with a extension if needed I can't add width. But the 56cm tall one does look the nicest of them all shape wise

Thanks matt28 interesting option I didn't come across it on my search. It appears to be about 130 euro delivered to Ireland, but you have to Email them to arrange delivery as there websites not setup for outside Poland deliveries. It's a nice looking screen and heights 50cm nothing about width though. I have ordered one from GPKompozit the other day it should be here by monday the 2nd of OCT, fingers crossed I don't get screwed in taxes or custom dutys ,and I hope it's better then the MRA one

well this is what I eventually ended up with, I wasn't a fan of the black strip at the bottom of the screen originally when I bought it,but on the bike it hides the screen holding bar nuts and bolts and bits etc... and blends in with the bike well I think, I addded a visor/deflector to the top of the screen as I was still getting a fair bit of wind to the top of my helmet. This has sorted 90% of the issues with wind, wind noise turbulence and buffeting. There is still a little bit of buffeting to the top of the helmet at 80km/h or more but nothing at 0 to 80km/h but I have to adjust the visor/deflector and do a bit of testing another day to fine tune it. As for the GPKompozit screen for €100 delivered it's not bad, quality is as expected for the price, there was a few very minor marks and bleamishes on the clear part and very minor scratches on the black strip but it cleaned up well and the thickness of the plastic/laminate is good and it feels sturdy. The difference is night and day so far for Noise and wind, I need another day to do a bit motorway testing and tweaking it, but for the moment it's a massive improvement. And the handlebar protectors or mirrors don't hit the screen, the screens not as wide around the middle as I thought it could be for maximum width another inch at least would a have been perfect for maximum width and not interfere with the hand protectors or mirrors
