Hi Folks, After a long love affair with my Fireblades ive just bought a 2015 S1000RR Sport, pick her up when i get back from work, went out on a 2hr test drive and couldn't give the sales man the deposit quick enough when i got back:love-struck:, being 6ft tall i find the standard screen is crap so what are the recommendations for a better wind protection screen, last blade had a Zero Gravity DB which was decent.

Welcome to the forum.
I had the MRA screen but changed to a BMW one which is very pricey but looks great.
Both do the job but the MRA screen was slightly taller.
Enjoy the new bike!

Welcome to the club, there's a fair few that left the Honda camp to have the Beemer. Congrats on the purchase.

MRA Double Bubbles tend to be most popular, BMW's own version too. Zero G and Puig both make them too.

Hi Balallan, welcome to the site, loads of new Scottish members recently, we must all be coming out of hibernation.
You've picked a great bike, I personally like the BMW tall screens as they feel quite strong compared to other makes although I'm sure the others are fine too. What colour scheme did you go for?
For a ?12 membership on here you can get a Premier members package which gets you discounts from various sources and some forum stickers for your bike.
Well worth it.
Hope to see you around.

Hi Balallan, welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new bike . Standard screen is a bit pants I agree, lots of choice on upgrading .

Cheers for that, i had ordered a Zero Gravity Corsa screen buy they cannot delivery for another 10-12 weeks so that's been cancelled, was looking at the MRA ones but wasnt quiet sure about them, Will look into the BMW one, is that whats fitted to your bike in the profile picture?
