Tiger 800 Do Any Of The Stock Screens On The New 800s Actually Work?

Hi, I've got a 2018 XCX; didn't like the stock screen much, mainly because it just wasn't tall enough (me being a bit over 6'6"). I replaced it with this one from Givi which is height adjustable and 14.5 cm (5.7") taller than the stock one. Works perfect for me and doesn't break the bank...

 

Hi I had similar issues, I ended buying an MRA screen with spoiler from https://www.bikehps.com/, much cheaper than Madstad and pretty good / good enough, better than stock screen but not perfect.

 

I've just fitted a cheapo Chinese knock off deflector to the top of my non adjustable standard screen. Brilliant. I'm 6'2".

 

I fitted the MRA deflector on mmine which works well for me, I'm 5'10".

 

Hi , I've had a tiger 800 xrt for 2 years now and toured alot with it very happily but always wanted to improve the buffeting. I have now solved it with 30 percent smoked puig touring screen plus a spoiler .. I'm 5'11 medium build and it looks really nice and i can now happily ride with visor up at 75 mph , makes a big difference in the full vertical position. I also have attached a puig spoiler to the top and this also makes a big difference as without it you still get some buffering wind. I like the the screen is adjustable as I can fold it down to 45 degrees as I have a bike cover and it fits nicely. I'm sure others will do a similar job but this is what I went with and dont regret it ! Happy Touring

 

Yeah in know what you mean ... I guess to make one bike do everything, fun to ride, go 2 up touring, not too heavy, etc etc and still look cool is the holy grail... no such thing as perfection I guess, a bit like relationships .. good luck with the screen

 

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve just purchased a 2016 Tiger 800 XRT and the stock screen is driving me crazy with buffeting on my helmet. I’m 5’11” so it’s not like I’m a giant! I bought an aftermarket spoiler which has helped but still very noisy. I am on a long ride at the moment and have completely removed the stock screen. The bike looks like crap but my helmet is in clean air for the next 1500km. I like the idea of the Puig Touring with spoiler. I’ll let you know how I go.

100% agree. The 20” Madstad on my Tiger 800 is fabulous.

 

can post picture as
I might get one

 

Had the 20" Madstad on my 2016 800 XRx - absolute game changer. Got one on ebay for half the price of a new one.

 

I just traded my 800Xrx in for a GT Pro 900, but I fitted a Givi airflow to my 800 4 years ago. It was a dream, at all motorway speeds no buffeting just a comfortable ride behind the screen. I have no doubt about recommending it.

Thank you cliverdee and figwold for the photos.

Out of interest do you look through or over the screen when riding? I’m wondering as being short, I might be able to hide entirely behind those screens - I assume they are adjustable so could be on a lower setting?

 

I look over the screen. It’s a 20” screen and I’m 5ft 11
