So I know this topic has been covered in several threads, and I didn’t know which one to follow up on so instead I started a new thread. Sorry for that.
Perhaps the threads concerning this topic could be collected somewhere for future easy reference?
Anyway to the discussion.
I’m about 6ft (183cm) tall, sitting on the fastback seat but the standard seat was the same in this regard.
I ride with a jet helmet so no chin guard.
I felt buffeting at most medium to higher speeds.
I tried the touratech add on little Perspex deflector which sadly didn’t help any and it looked somewhat out of place to me. I decided to get rid of it.
Removing the screen altogether changed the dynamics and I was then left with a more even flow of wind, but of course less protection. I also think the Classic looks good with a screen, to me it looks like something missing when it’s gone.
I have now purchased the lowest screen from BMW. I believe the standard classic screen is the tallest.
And I can honestly say I think it provides better wind protection as the buffeting is greatly reduced if not completely gone to me. At the same time the bike looks balanced with a screen in place and looks cool with a more sporty screen. See what you think.
So in summary. This long winded description actually suggests you try out a shorter screen if you suffer from these issues.
Best regards and ride safe (when spring comes
