It's a nice bit of kit, well made and an easy fit. But does it work? Well I'm pleased to say it does. I wore my open face helmet with no visor just my normal glasses. So much better than before with a standard screen. Very little wind buffet,much quieter and smoother feeling. I used it set about 3/4 high and fairly flat.
The service by Darkojak was first class. Postage cost was low and it was well packed. So altogether very pleased.

After much head scratching, reading and general observation decided to order a wind deflector from Darkojak in Poland. I am in Australia but all in all took about two weeks from ordering to arrive.

Interesting visualisation here;

This is fascinating & if air moves like water? does show what's happening.

It works fine on my phone and the link is from the official Darkojak website so I had no reason to suspect it.
I do hope your pc has recovered.
I'll remove the link to be on the safe side.
All the best

Wow, that is one big ugly piece of plastic...
But, if it helps, all is good
It looks a bit ugly in the pics but looks ok in the context of the whole bike. I prefer it to the look of the double screen Givi Airflow which I had on my V -.Strom. I guess it's all about function over fashion and this does seem to work well.

Agreed ! Thiks it looking better than some of the gigantic touring screens - or the dinosaur-like screen of the Tracer-09.....

The website would indicate so but I'm not 100% sure width-wise.
I can't find any pics or reviews on the internet.
Thanks gents
PS Cclivve - where did you order yours from as the sites I tried don't ship outside Poland? - thanks

It crashed the graphic card.
I guess I'll have up upgrade my Win95 PC...
The day after I also crashed another Linux Mint PC while trying to upgrade the graphic driver !
It now runs only on console mode.

Does anyone know if the new MRA X-Creen Touring XCTA (spoiler only) will fit a niner with a standard screen?

Hi Joe
I just Googled Darkojak and his site came up. Then emailed him on the contact given. He replied, gave me details of shipping, then used Paypal to fix him up. 10 days later it arrived in the post. All good.

All the best to you both.
