So have you checked out the new version then ? I believe the new version looks much better, still does an amazing job & doesn't stress the fairing( I've been using one for 2.5 years now & absolutely zero problems).Be aware that ANY lip/flip/whatever at the top of a screen only makes things worse by creating turbulence.Also IMHO the Eagle screem is an ugly Mutha.


Hi Shane, full credit to you for designing and producing a viable screen option, not an easy thing to do.
The looks is a personal thing, i'd rather not have a screen at all. Some people (poor ignorant bastards) think the TDM itself is ugly. I dont, i think its lines are just gorgeous. You have Beowulfs, so have I, the upsweep line is perfect isnt it. The Hepco and Becker crashbars, also designed to compliment the line of the bike.
Have seen the Eagle 475 with lip on a TDM and didnt really like it but was ok, the "relaxed" form softens that straight face and fits the bike pretty well.
Saw the Tiger on a TDM and it wasnt ugly by any means but the shape is a bit plain and the stand off look didnt appeal. Also have a policy of not drilling holes in the bodywork. No real difference in price.
So sorry but have chosen the Eagle, but hey, if it doesnt work you might hear from me next winter!
cheers Graeme

I have a Yamaha 145mm Touring with the MRA lip on top. Works for me but
I am yet to try my Tigerscreen.

Hi Matt, just been searching the forums, and spotted your post. Did you ever get round to trying the Tigerscreen?

Ah I see (he says hoping this will work)

Yeah took it up to 90 with an open face, bit of breeze on the chin but that was it. No wobbly screen so from a assurance POV it will be better hopefully
