Best screen for no wind?
 

So Im getting back into the SV after the snow has all naffed off. Its still ruddy cold though so I was wondering what the best screen was in order to be as protected from the wind as possible? Are all double bouble screens the same?!?! Any info would be great. Thanks

SV screen is way towards the bottom of the page. looks wierd when its on but it works well

I have an MRA screen on my pointy, it's the 'spoiler' type and I think it's amazing!

Check them out, it can be pricey but well worth the money and fit perfectly!

Thanks for the heads up about the MRA ones. They look like a winner to me... :p

This is the best long screen I have come across. Unfortunately I had to make it myself as I could not find a suitable commercial one. I have detailed how I made one in the thread 'the perfect commuter or tourer'.

I have looked around on the web for a touring screen and not found one. I decided to have a go at making my own. I went to see the manager of a local plastics factory to see if he could help and told me that the cost would be prohibitive due to manufacturing moulds. He did however give me some plastic and some advice on making my own. You will need to make a wood jig so you can form it to a suitable radius. I used thin plywood (3mm) and had to gradually work it to form the shape. It then needs to be rigidly connected to a base. Cut out the plastic sheet to the required shape using a jig saw, place in your home oven and heat up till it starts to become workable. You need to experiment with an offcut first and heat to say 120 degrees centigrade. Increase in temperature by 5 degrees at a time, then remove with suitable gloves and see if it can bend. If not put it back in and increase temp. again. At the correct temp, you will find it will start to bend. When the screen has soaked at this temp, take it out the oven and place on the jig and push the sides down. You need to keep it pushed onto the jig until it cools enough to allow the material to set. I found it only needed about 5 minutes for this. You need good gloves (I used an old pair of welders gloves), or use two pieces of plywood to push onto to sandwich the screen.
This sounds like a lot of effort, it is it look me 3 attempts to get it right. I then found that although the screen worked well and funnelled the air away from my body and head, there was still turbulence from the air moving downwards at the top due to the negative air pressure behind the screen. I ended up making an extension smaller screen which I bolted to the main screen. Success, a screen which completely keeps me out the airflow, and is quiet as well. The base plastic sheet needs to be tough and not brittle. Perspex is too brittle, I used polyethylene for the main screen and polycarbonate for the upper screen requiring temperatures of around 120 & 160 degrees centigrade to soften them.
