just got mine in the mail today, then went on a 150 mile trip with my buddy.... man he is jealous. His face shield was blackened with bugs and i just had a handfull of bugs on mine... the windscreen on the otherhand, did its job. It was covered with all the bugs my face shield would have.
only rode about 20 miles at 100MPH+ but the windscreen didn't seem to be affected at all.. the only bad thing i found about the winscreen is riding on a dirt road and all the bumps, it tends to flex a smidge, but nothing that i can see hurting it at all.
only had it a day and cant say any negative things about it other then the 250 bones i dropped on it, but well worth it i must say.

I have been looking at the Vario screen. Did you get the Touring Vario with the adjustable piece at the top of the screen?

I have one of these, it came on the bike. The only thing I don't like about it is it is clear. If I could tint it I would put it back on.

yup, love it

DeathWish01 · 07-26-2009, 10:19 PM

well here are some pics of the vario windscreen clean... (minus the bugs that hit it on the way back from the carwash LOL)
lemme know what you think.... BTW the pics are from all the way up to all the way down, it has 6 adjustment notches which are easy to manipulate even while riding (inadvisable) but it hasn't dropped a single notch on me while riding, and i've rode with it at 141MPH (dropped down) and the windscreen didn't flex very much... flexes a bit when hitting a bump or on a dirt road, but not enough to worry me

THANKS JOHN!!! (JAWS)

2000bluebird · 07-27-2009, 1:01 PM

Hey Smurff, care to sell yours maybe if you have it sitting around?

canuck · 07-27-2009, 4:31 PM

Well first of all your shop looks a whole lot neater than mine.

The screen looks functional. To be honest it hasn't got the nicest lines, but if it does the job, that is all that matters to me, and it sounds like it does.

Great pics, thanks for posting.

lol you only saw a part of my "shop"... the rest of it is a nasty mess.. LOL

im actually happy with the lines, they are pretty smooth, it doesn't have "wings" per sa where it flares out on the sides, but it works

I'll be hanging onto it as I am going to tint it myself. a friend of mine has given me some tips so when the humidity drops I'll give it a go.

nice try though....

canuck · 09-01-2009, 5:25 AM

Well I ordered my MRA Vario Touring screen yesterday and not a minute to soon. It's getting cold up here! Coming home last night I had to stop to put on a sweater and had to SLOW down

to keep from shivering.

Hoping the screen lets me ride comfortably into November.

onoff · 09-01-2009, 8:39 AM

You could have gone with a Laminar Lip for half the price, installation require no tool. I have had mine up to 142 mph.. rock solid.

Get a heated vest - best money i've ever spent and i do many late season/night rides with it.

Very satisfied, the attachments are 3M velcro, on/off the OEM screen without tool, no perminent damage to your OEM windscreen.

If you need to remove the velcro, little hairdryer action may be all you need.

canuck · 09-01-2009, 7:36 PM

Yup, was thinking of a heated vest last night coming home and heated grips would have been nice as well. We have already had frost down here so it's cooling off quick. I could smell the wood stoves burning as I got close to town, a sure sign that summer is gone and autumn is here.

Kidding, i can't believe how fast this summer is going.
