I use the factory touring screen on my 08. I also added the laminar lip, especially helpful for 2 up touring. W/o the lip the the pillion gets the hit as the air stream curls behind my helmet. Takes a bit of work but the lip will fit just not quite as well as on the stock shield.

Got the Factory touring shield, and a MRA X-Screen touring with the removable clamps. Gonna try it out this weekend after i wire in my new Zumo.

CalSci puts out a good product. Just throwing it out there.

Ordered my Cee Baileys yesterday. Wanted to go wider than the touring windscreen.

I was in love with my Yamaha touring screen. I run a Cee Bailey size huge in the winter, but Yamaha touring the rest of the year. Since I got my Laam, it raises me up just high enough that I am in buffeting hell at highway speed. I hate to do it, don't like the looks of it, but I think I'm going to have to go back to the cee bailey year round.

Bill, try using some spacers to tilt the screen a bit at full up during the warmer months. That will allow you to tilt it lower on the hot days when you want full-blast-air at neck and shoulder level for forced air cooling.

Hoping the Cee Baileys does a better job for the passenger as far as buffeting goes. I generally have to have the touring WS all the way up at 45+ MPH for the wife. Since I get stuck riding in the rain a lot the CB should be an improvement for that also.

I really like the cee bailey, and I've slowly had to admit to myself that, with the helibars and the Laam, my head is out of the pocket. I think the touring shield looks much better, but buffeting on the interstate is just a pain.

I am thinking about getting a Cee Bailey because the touring screen flexes a bit too much "at speed."

 

[Fred W]

I have both. Neither windscreen flexes. It's slop in the mechanism that allows the shield movement in turbulent air.

Fred, as you recommend, the tilted back, I used a 1/2" spacer at the bottom, works good. It is funny that with the stock screen I need to make it more vertical and with the touring screen I need to lay it back . Thanks for your many comments and posts.

Is there any info for tilting it back more?? Might be worth trying before i try to cut my stock screen down, or get a smaller replacement. I want more air. Thanks!!

 

[Fred W]

I don't think there is much limit to how far back you can tilt it. Just use a thicker spacer and longer bolts.

is the procedure listed somewhere ?? i am new to fjrs, this is my first. so learning as i go. thanks

it can't be as easy as using spacers between the windshield and the mount can it ??

seriously, honest question.

 

[bigjohnsd]

The spacers go between the piece the windscreen mounts to and the mechanism that slides up and down. I bought some plastic spacers at my local hardware store with the appropriate sized internal hole, I angled one end to make it fit properly and cut the long side of the spacer to 1/2" , you will need longer screws, available at the hardware store as well, you can experiment by stacking washers till you find what you need, then manufacture your spacers. Fred posted a thread sometime back but I couldn't find it tonight.

I started a thread a couple years ago that explains the whole thing:

3rd Gen Windshield Tuning

Nice to know. I'm picking up my 2016 ES next week and have ordered the touring shield. I'm 5'!1" and wear a Schubert C3. When I test rode the FJR I noticed significant noise and buffeting from the stock windshield. I would not have bought the bike if there were no alternative to the stock.

I am only 5-9, stock FJR seat and in the winter I run the Yamaha tour, with Fred's tilt spacers. Work great to eliminate buffeting for me.
