Good evening all been out on my sv most of the day and my neck is killing. As I am 6ft 4 my head has been getting bashed around by the wind all day as I seem to sit in the airflow over the screen. So I has anyone got any experiences with screens that may be good for me.

basic answer is get a double bubble screen if you dont already have one that is.

But much more i cant say cos i ride a nakkid ;)

get the airblade - its a superb bit of kit and looks like it came with the bike.

Highly recommended

I've had a couple of aftermarket ones and the FFabri was the best for my curvy SV

Maybe an endurance racing style screen would suit someone with your height?

Was it easy to fit or a bit fiddly?

Most after market screens are a doddle to fit, although some you need to "encourage" to get the holes to line up, nothing major.

The big pain I found is getting the screws out (the ones with the rubbery bung bits on, you don't take the screw out, the whole lots slides out.), loosen the screw then give a little squirt of some kind of lube (WD40) to help the rubber bit slide out.

Some one else will probably descride it better. :)
