Wait, why'm I riding behind a dark screen?!
« on: January 18, 2021, 01:53:09 PM »


I always ride in a high viz jacket or vest. Then one day I saw my refection while riding behind the dark sport-screen on my Burgman.

"Why am I even partially covering my high viz with this screen?!"


So, since these French Ermax screens are pretty much a bargain - I put a clear one on. Not as zoomy looking - but safer...



Stig, still learning....

PS: I hated the head-buffeting of the orig. tall screen which Suzuki put on these things. The short Ermax rode so much better.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I did just the opposite on my Xciting's  and took off the short clear screen and put on a tall shaded screan.  Someone had already done that to my carbureted Xiciting's. I'm under 6 foot and the extra height allowed the wind to flow over my helmet.  The shorter screen I would have to go into a partial tuck to accomplish this.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Nice pics of course Stig, but I thought you sold that a while back?
