PowerBronze Windscreen

Im roughly 5'8" or 173 cm. Maybe ill take my changes with the small one
Give it a shot, it's not that expensive anyway and it looks good IMO and fits well.
 
G’day MrPix,
I have a GT/ screen and was considering the medium PB screen. From your experience does that screen direct the airflow over your head. If so, what is your height, I am 176 cm.
TIA

Ruddy, I have the medium Powerbronze screen and yes, it does direct the airflow over my head (I'm 6 feet tall)

G’day G Williams,
Thanks for the response I was hoping the medium would be large enough to use for interstate touring.

It's not just about the screen... it's about some other factors... where your head/body is positioned is absolutely vital to the effectiveness of the screen. The problem with the small/medium PB screens is that they are not adjustable to accomodate differences between the R and GT and rider's height.

I'm 181cm and with the R bars (I have an R) the 475mm screen is close to perfect... BUT I have recently changed to the GT bars and it is now close to useless with the R seat. I am now changing the seat to the GT seat because with my body position change, the R seat with the GT bars is not too comfortable for more than 30 miles, I get a numb cocxyx!

Last night I swapped to the small PB screen (which I found close to useless with R bars and seat) and it is better in my current combo, but suspect that when I have the GT seat combined with the GT bars the 475mm screen will work again.

If only there were adjustments that could be made to the screens!!
 
Are you sure swapping to the GT seat is the way to go? Just curious as it is a common complaint in the tests i have watched/read that the GT seat is worse than the R concerning tail bone woes. Also the GT seat will probably put you back to square one regarding footpegs/seat ratio, no?
EDIT: As far as i am concerned, a 3 cm riser would be the ticket i think, if i hook my fingers over the hand grips using the first two joints it feels noticeably better.
 
G’day Mr Pix,
Agreed screens are extremely subjective as everyone is different and simply adjusting the preload can affect the airflow, changing bars and or foot peg position also changes things. I am hopeful the medium PB on my GT will work but it’s a gamble as their is no adjustment to fine tune things.
 
I don't think 5/8" on the footrest height is a massive issue, the GT seat is lower granted, but it is also further back and has a more shallow angle so nothing will be numbing my tailbone (hopefully)... besides, I am 'borrowing' a GT seat at the weekend to see the difference
 
I was just concerned mate. Good job you can try before you buy!
 
How did you get on with the GT seat mate?
