Option for Anyone Looking for a bit more Wind Deflection

Really like the looks of dat windscreen. 

Tiger, give us a review when your weather breaks.

Absolutely. Be nice to get a few warm days this month yet. I've had New Years Day rides in the past.

Some posters on FZ09 actually added that trim strip to their screen claiming it smoothed out air flow? MRA seems to know what they're doing, so that may be the case.

Nice!!! I will have to check it out in person at the Spring Slimey Crud Run :-)

That looks really awesome on your bike. Hope it deflects the wind good for ya!

I like that. It sets straighter up than I expected, but the height is still low enough to keep the lines of the bike.

Test ride with new MRA sport screen complete.

How many screens has everyone bought that were any great shakes? Very few? Same here.

Unfortunately, I'm not overly impressed. I always have said screens don't block the wind, they just move it somewhere else. I can't even really say that here. I really couldn't feel a whole lot of difference. It was cold at just above freezing out, but less than 5 mph wind. Pretty good test condition. Windy days can be very misleading. Without the screen, if I duck down about 6", it's a fair amount calmer and quieter. With the MRA, there's no change from upright to tucked down. So, possibly a little better sitting upright, but not much. I'm 6' tall with a 32" inseam for comparison, but I sat up as high as I could to full tuck. Bottom line is there is little, if any measureable difference up to 100 mph. I took it to 125 mph and there was a fair amount of wind shear on my upper body. Was it less than without the MRA? I think so. Sitting upright without it takes more effort to hold on. It pulls on the body pretty hard though with the screen.

I plan to keep it and do more tests in the spring. If I went into buying it knowing how it performs, I wouldn't get one. I have been so impressed with the performance of the factory spoiler. If it didn't work as well as it does, the MRA may end up being a huge improvement. But the spoiler does work and it's hard to get a lot of improvement over that. The FZ-10 is a naked bike, so expecting calm, quiet air isn't realistic. My advice? Save your money and enjoy the FZ-10 just the way it is. If you tour long distances and ride in the rain, get yourself a giant barn door screen that will give you some serious protection. Otherwise keep it stock.

In spite of everything else, it was a glorious ride. I would have gone farther, but ice on the road ahead forced me to quit. Gonna be a long winter here.

Me too.  

Thanks for for the review tigershark
