Still on original screen, I can only ride with wing down flat. Tomorrow I hope to clear and re-shape that air slot at bottom of screen. Fit Loobman as well, If it does'nt piss down on me again.

Loobman seems like a nice piece of low-tech equipment. Do you think you could put up a few pics so we can see how and where you fit it? I am seriously thinking of getting one for my 900...

Regarding screens...:
I'm still searching for the best possible solution for me and SECDEM seems to be the best so far.
But then I came across ERMAX... Didn't think twice, just ordered one. And now a ERMAX db screen is on it's way. I'll let you all know how it works as soon as I've roadtested it...

Which model Ermax did you order?

Double bubble?




Or their "High Protection" screen?



I think both are very noisy if you're a bit tall, still curious to how you'll compare them.

MRA also seems to have different screens I've not read about. Beside the MRA varioscreen they have a double bubble racing screen which seems higher than others:




A MRA Sportscreen with spoiler:



The +145mm MRA Touring screen:



And as reference the MRA varioscreen:

I have one of these, but it looks like that the one of the photo is a newer version (bigger bubble, it seems...)

So if you have a double bubble (secdem, and an MRA as well?), why did you order one that's almost identical?

Well, almost identical, yes. But still different; the bubble shape is different, the width and height (tallness) is different and there is i fact differences in how they work, INMHO.
Besides, they all look different.. cool.gif Why not spoil the bike a little?

I also have a MRA Vario, as you know, but compared to the two db screens I have it makes more noise, vibrates a lot more and does not protect me any better from the weather and wind. There's also less buffeting behind MRA and Secdem db screens; the latter being the best of the two.
Why Ermax? Because of this: Info on Ermax UK site...

I can afford it, so why not try it...? wink.gif

The info on their site is helpful. I'm glad somebody can afford this kind of testing. To be honest, I'm not! I own a vario now, and you're right about the protection and the noise. Although I can only compare it with the Yamaha std screen and big touring screen.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm reading this forum almost for a year now, but indeed it was my first post! cool.gif

Was going to try the SECDEM screen like AJ's as we are the same height, but then saw yet another mra screen version - see here:

http://www.bikehps.c..._Yamaha_12.html
(scroll right to the bottom of the page - last screen)
Looks like an interesting design - flattened top, airscoop at the front...

Anybody tried one? Also a more reasonable price than the SECDEM here in the UK (£62.40 rather than around £83 before shipping).

This type of windscreen was developed for GP racing and is used by many including Max Biaggi and Carlos Checa. Shaped like the original at the base but with an additional 3-5cm bubble in the middle, they take the wind pressure off your helmet and upper body.


I love that, since when did max or carlos ride TDMs.

I'm not sure if you can trust this somehow... Why? There is no reference at MRA itself...

I hope, I'm wrong there...

He-he-he... The Mulla is wondering how many screens I own... Hm... Let me see...
Here's one... and, yes! Here's another one!
And let me look under this pile of paper... Ah yes! There's one here, too rolleyes.gif
And I almost forgot; there is a MRA Vario-Touring lying around somewhere in the garage biggrin.gif

Ok, let's get serious for a moment, shall we?
I own a MRA double bubble, a SECDEM double bubble, a MRA Vario, a Yamaha tall touring with MRA spoiler bit fitted (took it off though because the turb and buff got unbearable...) and finally this nice little ERMAX db screen with six airflow holes right in front of the "bubble" - formed as a V (for victory? = the best TDM screen ever made?).

So you haven't got the original Yamaha screen? And the "inlet" are just these 6 little holes they drilled in? Couldn't you just have drilled those holes in your MRA / Secdem? Or is it a significant other shape than those db's?

For myself I would be afraid this screen would be too low on the sides, so too much airblast pushing against the shoulders. Perhaps you can compose a comparison picture of all your screens next to each other? rolleyes.gif
