Well I got a PM from a member inquiring about my Vario windscreen. the question got me thinking about all the screens I've owned.. so heres the question from the member followed by my short review on screens that I've personally owned..
Question; Doyle you still run the vario screen ? whats your opinion on it ?
Answer; Its OK, it buffet's your head around when its all the way up.. at mid way its better and all the way down is the best for the no head buffeting deal.. Its great in the rain, just adjust all the way up and it throws the rain off your shield real nice. also good for cold weather riding as its easy to get a full tuck going on with screen all the way up.
I've had alot of screens and I mean ALOT..
I'm 6 foot and 230lbs
IMO heres how I would rate screens that I have owned..
1) Magical Racing the best screen I've ever run and will buy another.. Great overall protection, and little head buffet. also fit and finish second to none..
2) Vario as explained above nice overall screen.. save for the wind buffet adjustable so yes you can elimanate/reduce it.. fit and finish good..
3) Puig touring very nice screen and would come in 2nd but you can't see the clocks when sitting up.. protection though is very good, little to no head buffet. fit and finish well its a Puig, they are one of the top names in screens..
4) Suzuki dbl screen real nice screen I think its made by Puig for Suzuki but not positive.. its shorter than a Puig but still a real nice screen.. fit and finish very nice as nice as a Puig for sure.
5) Puig DBL Bub real nice screen the only reason I put it below the Suzuki dbl bub is due to more head buffeting.. the Suzuki screen is a little shorter and I think helps to reduce the buffeting factor.
fit and finish top notch its a Puig.
6) ZG touring.. JUNK.. I had two 1st one I broke putting it on.. 2nd one I ran for 1 week, the worst screen I've owned.. Fit and finish garbage.. protection was ok..
I have owned all the above windscreens and this is MY opinion only.
Hope this helps others in choosing the right screen..
