Ralf, 
I forgot to mention I have Gen Mar bar risers so that 
put's me up a bit and being shortish and old I tend to 
ride towards the front of the seat and more upright. Speed 
definitely seems to effect where the wind hit's me and at 
70-80mph the stock screen does a good job of right in the 
shoulders. When I go into a tuck it goes right over the 
top of the helmet.
Cheers,
R

  Hi folks,

  Thnaks for all the great info on  . . . seats and screens. As the 
  stock seats are identical, I have ordered an ST Corbin "Gunfighter 
  and Lady" (Yeech) in carbon fibre leather. I'll let you all know 
  about fitment, comfort etc. in a couple of months.

  As for screens, the flavour of the recommendations is that I should 
  try a Zero Gravity Sport Touring Screen first, and then go from 
  there. I was interested in Robbie's (there's a guid Scots name) 
  comments about the blast hitting his shoulders when he's 5'9". He 
  suggests our riding positions may be different. It's possible, but 
  THAT different? Interesting. If he had an ST I'd suggest it might be 
  because of the higher bars, but he's on an RS too. Maybe I go faster 
  (ha! not very likely). I've been thingking about other variables 
  while out walking the dog. Arm length and seating position are the 
  two I can come up with. I tend to scoot back on the seat to the 
  ridge, and also ride with fairly bent arms . . .

  So if anybody has a ZG ST windscreen they have tried and didn't like 
  that needs a home, drop me a line. A couple of people said they had 
  ZGs I could have, (well, buy) but didn't specify the type. To all who 
  offered double bubbles, thank you, but I think I'll go a wee bit 
  higher.

  Have a good weekend-- I'm off to North Carolina! (On a plane, unfortunately)

  Ralf
