    MRA Vario screen clip on

       Has anyone added a further clip on to their vario MRA screen or similar?  I am 6ft 5 and still feel buffeting with the screen up and the top screen at its highest level. Thinking I could try adding a clip on to the top deflector?

    I'm about 5'11 and the MRA vario with the integrated spoiler is hands down the best screen for this bike, 130mph can still ride with visor open (on private road ofc), then dropped down it's not too big or obtrusive, with plenty of air flow for warmer days.

    I would love to test one out first , but it´s not an option.

    The standard is ok´ish but over a certain speed I can´t even hear my helmet on calls. I´ve seen a few raves reviews over the spoiler version.

    The only issue I have , after having a large touring screen on the RS, is that it was cutting all airflow and I was finding myself overheating and had zero air to my helmet which made me feel sleepy after a while.

    As i said the MRA Vario is not that bad for airflow when put down and great when up, it's the go to for Gen 1s, you can pick some up used for fairly cheap on the forum here too, or ebay. They are a bit spendy if brand new but imo worth everypenny, If I ever get a Gen 1 XR again it's the first mod i'm doing along with rad guards.

    I've got a nice Red one waiting for you, and it has the screen and rad guards already fitted..  :007: :164:

    Well, I reckon it will meet my needs, but I need to see if it gets my adrenaline pumping.. :156: need to get out for a solo ride on it.  :001:

    Pretty sure the xr will be going.. :169:

    Great, I will have a look on here, never thought of that.

    cheers
