Well, I've put over 6000kms on the Vario and I really like it, it's not as quiet as my VFR was but I like the coverage I get from it and I'm used to the noise now. I've adjusted it to what I like and it works really well for me. Earlier this year I put my Katana back on the road for a month and rode...

Yep, been riding with it for about 1000kms now. I like it a lot. I'm still working with the adjustments and am working on a balance between turbulence and noise. If I angle it towards me it's noisier but it's smoother air, if I angle it away it's quieter but the top of my helmet gets caught in turbu...

Well, I've done it, took a chance and have a Vario screen on the way, I'll let you guys how it works out.

If this one doesn't work out for me I'm already talking to my dealer for an F800ST test ride.

Results to come as soon as I've gotten the screen and broken speed laws in all provinces (:

Well wouldn't you know it, the buffeting was cut down to a level that made me comfortable. I was originally going to spend the money for a Parabellum Scout fairing but now I'm thinking I'l...

Wow, thanks for the post, Very interresting. Actually, I'm about to modify my cut down Calsci shield and add an adjustable lip to see what that does. I'm also going to look into what you just mentionned, makes perfect sense. It's a great bike and I think that even with the aerodynamic battle of gett...

Cool, thanks for such a quick reply. I'll probably take a chance and buy it, if it works for someone who's 5 foot 9 it'll probably work for me. Also, it'll probably take care of the low frequency buffeting I get from the other barn door like windscreens. I'll report back after I've spent more money ...

Hi there, have you had a chance to try out the screen enough to give an impression? I've tried the little sport flyscreen, the BMW touring screen, way too loud, CALSCI 21 inch screen and the Cee Bailey 18 inch. The Sport screen didn't have enough coverage, the touring shield was too noisy, the calif...
