Got and fitted a Tiger screen, so far does an excellent job. Mind you a few nice days would be nice. At least i know that it is fine in strong winds - wind noise is all gone good.gif
Only downside is not too sure about the looks (sorry Shane), but it does a surperb job regarding wind protection. It is a well made peice of kit, has its already been mentioned fitting is a doodle.
If anyone wants to try the screen to see whats it is like (bearing in mind its made for my height - im 5'11") drop me a PM and pop round. |If you catch me on a good day you might even get coffee and cake tongue.gif

Is this for a 900? I've got the 850 mkII and while I've got a taller screen, it's still quite noisy...

You're just up the road from me, I'm in Didcot.

I looked up Kidlington as I'd never heard of it.
It is about as middle England as you can get.
120 miles from me and many more miles from the "up North contingent".
I'd still would like a piccy though. the promise of "Cakes" mght tempt ne to a meet up after Xmas.

A Tiger screen you say.... does it come with a golf-club wielding Norwegian?

Glad to see all's good mate. I guess beauty's in the eye of the beholder, personally I don't much like the look of any other after market screens for the TDM, which is part of
the reason I decided to have a go at designing one myself.
It's coming into Summer here now so ride weather has improved though we still seem to be getting a fair amount of unseasonal rain & wind.
I ditched my Tigerscreen prototype ( made from ordinary plexiglass ) a couple of months ago in favour of a new one from High impact acrylic.
Glad I did as last Sunday I hit a Crow ( Tasmanian Forest Raven ) at 125kph. It just flew out of small trees beside the road without warning.
They average 650g in weight & I calculated ( my Newtonian physics is rusty )an impact force of ~22.5kg at that speed. Loud bang & almost soiled undies. tongue.gif
The Tigerscreen sustained some minor scratching & a small crack 2cm but is still quite OK to use. The important thing is if not for the Tigerscreen the Crow would have
hit me at neck height which would have been nasty. sad.gif The old screen would have shattered into a thousand pieces, don't really want to think about that scenario too much.
The Crow didn't survive, looking in the mirror, I saw him pinwheel off into the nearby scrub. blink.gif

Lucky escape mate, glad your ok.
Your right about beauty, but i must say it is an absolute joy to be able to ride with no earplugs and have the visor open if I want to good.gif

I'm not sure what you mean by Tiger screen. Is it a screen from a Triumph (just looked and it's not) or just a screen called Tiger huh.gif Can you say a bit about where you got it from and how it's fixed over the existing screen?

Oh blush.gif missed that. Well they certainly look like they'll keep the worst of the rain off as well. Any chance of a little review when you've done a few motorway miles. I'd be interested to know how it performs at 80 mph. If it reduces wind noise and doesn't create uncomfortable turbulence, I'll certainly be up for getting one of these.
