Tiger 800 Tiger XRx Screen woes

I put an MRA VT screen on my Tiger and it improved noise and buffeting substantially.

 

How tall are you guys? and what setting do you have the screen on, high or low? I ask cuz I'm a short arse and also picked up my Xrx recently but have only ridden it home from the dealer. I'll probably take it out tomorrow and see how I find it and we can compare notes. One tallish guy I was talking to who has one reckoned the stock screen effectively channeled a huge stream of turbulance right in to his forehead.

 

Copied this from an earlier post by Rooster, worth a try before spending too much!
Try putting a 15mm spacer between the screen and its mounting bracket. You will need 4 X 15mm spacers and 4 new bolts 15mm longer than they are now.

This made a big difference to the wind buffeting/ noise on my a Explorer. Worth a try for £5.

 

I'm led to believe the Madstad screen is a good choice but it's bloody big.

 

Hi Yorkie, have you ever tried taking the screen fully off the bike and going for a ride? It's loads quieter !!!!!

 

Noise/buffeting seems to be a problem with most bikes with a screen.
After riding nakeds for the last few years I found the noise from the screen on my GS a bit unsettling,getting used to it now though.
You'd think with modern technology they'd be able to make a quiet screen

 

Got a Madstad screen on my 800 xc, ride at 70 mph with visor up no problems.

Yes it's pig ugly, but with being to old to be a poser who gives a fook. That's an age thing for you

 

No they're not cheap,,,,,,,, but as wifey tells me, the good things in life aren't

Got mine second hand off the Tiger 800 forum a couple of years ago

 

Going to try that. The wind buffeting with the standard screen is really annoying.

 

that's a shame. Having gone out with an open face helmet on yesterday, I found that if I tried ducking down 4 or 5 inches that lost the wind noise considerably so I am going to have a look to see if there is an attachment you can put at the top of the screen, kinda like a spoiler I suppose. It's a pricey way of experimenting tho'. so many conflicting reports!!
