Sprint windshield

Welcome to the forum Pete.
I used to have an R80T 30 years back, full Rickman fairing, panniers the lot.
Confirmed Bonneville owner now.
Sorry, can't help you with any advice on the fairing but I have no doubt someone will be along shortly.

 

Hi Pete

sorry cant help you but thanks for the info as I was having the same probs with her indoors and was beginning to think of swapping the tiger for a sprint, but you say the sprint is the same I'll just have to leave her behind!!

 

There are a few different screens available from the standard low screen to the zero gravity Sports Touring.

There are another couple of options Pete.
1) Change the wife for a shorter one, working down in 1" increments until no wingeing can be detected.
2) Ride solo only, easier to explain to the wife after fitting a solo seat.

Or you can just go for the DozersDad recommended anti riot police shield fastened on with 2" angle iron brackets.

 

I've found that screens are a very personal thing so the only way to know if it works for you is to try it.

I have 3 different screens for the ST and stick with the double bubble as this works best for me. It allows me space under the screen for my sat nav and keeps most of the wind off. On long motorway days a bit more wind protection would be nice but it's a good compromise.



The larger zero gravity screen is massive and while it does a good job of keeping the wind off it does that a bit too well. I have a 2005 1050ST with the lower bars so it's nice to have a bit of wind pressure to take the weight off the wrists on the motorway type sections.



Standard screen for comparison.

 

The GT comes with the touring screen as standard. Some have found the shorter standard screen better.
That may work as your body will then block the wind better.
My missus never found wind blast a problem as she is fairly short.
As to the aero foil type MRA get good reviews off a few.

 

I've got the same as Jez's, an MRA VT screen. On my Tiger I was having lots of noise due to turbulence coming off the top of the std screen. The MRA screen pretty-much 100% cured that - however it did not really reduce much the wind pressure on me, but the air was smoother/quieter, so I don't think this will help with reducing the wind pressure for a pillion - if that's what you are trying to achieve?

Not sure if any variation of screen will improve pillion comfort on the Sprint tbh.

On my BM R1100RT it had an electrically adjustable screen and that did affect airflow to the rear passenger.

 

Bolt on spoilers are also available and I have a givi S180 to try this year. My plan is to stick with the double bubble and put the spoiler on when I want a bit more shelter. I haven't tried it yet so can't say how well it will work.
