Please see this video, this police bike has some plastic wing between the fairing and the screen:

 

 

I can understand it does make a difference in protection. Do you know who manufactures this? Thanks.

[dmmsta]

Can't view the video ATM, but do you mean these:

 

Have a look here:

http://www.jbx9.t15....x.php?page=HIST

At the bottom, it's listed as the GT model (France only?)

[steve27bha]

The GT is a special by the French distributor, with the mods noted by JBX. The rear fairing is different I believe to include mountings for Yamaha panniers similar to the FJR1300's.

 

The deflectors are not cheap.

 

Note the GT has fairing mounted mirrors, but the police model initially shown in post #1 has the bar-mounted ones we are used to.

If it was a Yamaha option for the French market only there must be a part number somewhere.

[Wallander]

Found out the part numbers:

 

YMFTDMGT0700

YMFTDMGT0800

 

French webshops carry it (google), I wonder if local Yamaha dealers could get it...

 

Costs around 60 EUR each.

[dandywarhol]

you could get the same effect by gluing a couple of Tesco sandwich boxes to the fairing - and enjoy the contents.

[timoc]

I like them....

[dablik]

Can someone buy and fit a pair and let the rest of us know how well they work please.   Actually think they meant to be quite good at deflecting wind!!

Ditto re. feedback.  Could this be the screen solution?

[ramo]

looowking at the pic,

 

the screen may  be specific to the deflectors,

it could be the touring screen (bubble GT), but the sides of the screen, where they marry up to the deflectors, definitely look longer than mine,

 

hope someone with deeps pockets wants to experiment  could be costly

ref YMFTDMGT0700 -> Left Hand Deflector 
ref YMFTDMGT0800 -> Right Hand Deflector

[TDMTAM]

I did try ask my local Yam dealer a few years back about them and was told they were France only parts and they could not order them !!!!!

I did not look into it any further but would like to get a set to try yeah£120 is a bit steep but if it helps the weather and wind protection then it may be worth it.

Not a lot of help, but the 1250 Bandit S I'm riding at the mo has something similar on the front fairing, and makes a LOT of difference as far as weather on gloves goes, - that said the bars are narrower.

[Luke]

Glad to see a part number for the deflectors, can you get one for the screen to see if it is the standard yamaha one?

[dablik]

If somebody wanted them cant they order from a Yam dealer in France ??

this is the part No for the screen that fits the deflectors,

You will need to buy the screen as it has an extra hole each side for the wings.

So I had a look on a french dealers website, for the three parts = 211 euros plus shipping.

 

It does look like it will do a job though.

[dablik]

Crikey you been busy Luke, certainly look like they could do the job, are you getting a set !!

[Pict]

Better mock up with a corrugated cardboard version first?

[Luke]

I know it's a bit sad, but I have thought about making some, and ride magazine have just done an article on how to make your own carbon fibre parts.

However since I will probably take too long to do it, I won't bother. I'll just think about it. , besides which SWMBO, has decided I have too much time on my hands and is adding to the already compiled to do list.
