    After looking at all the windscreen options for my 2019 RS I decided on a carbon fiber windscreen from MotoComposites. It's not hard to install, just a bit finicky. The initial test run through the canyons proved it provides some additional wind relief. The carbon is a perfect match for the fender. I will add some decorative effects later but for now, I will leave it as is.

    I have the exact same bike as you do, Omoishiroi! :grinning: And I love it. :heart: I opted for the PowerBronze wind screen in Dark Smoke. But this MotoComposites screen didn't show up in my original searches. I don't know that I'd have opted for this one over the one I chose but I do like it in your photo and it's a great match for the front fender. BTW, I'm just down the road from you in Tucson! Where is MotoComposites located??

    I wanted to buy a Powerbronze but they were sold out of the one I wanted. Motocomposites is in Montreal Canada - good CF parts at a fair price.

    Yes I am in North Scottsdale. Headed out to the Devils highway in a few weeks - have you ridden it? For others here is a link to this hidden gem of 400 switchbaclks in 120 miles! https://www.hannaganmeadow.com/scenic-roadway.htm

    I've not ridden the Devils Highway even though it's not that far from Tucson. I have ridden 180 which parallels it in some places but to the east and some of it is in New Mexico between Silver City and Alpine AZ. Have you ridden that road, @Omoishiroi? I'll give Motocomposites a look-see, thanks.

    Interesting that you mention the 180 we're planning to do a 3 day loop that includes the 180 and the 191!

    Please post some photos and stories of your adventures! That sounds like a terrific loop! I love the parts of it that I’ve been on.
