Honda Tall Windscreen Mod

[CB4ME]

The Honda tall windscreen is 140mm taller and 80mm wider than the stock windscreen. While providing extra wind protection, it also introduced unwanted wind noise (whipping flag noise) for me (I'm 6'1").

Yesterday I took a jig saw to the screen and lopped off 4 inches from the top in hopes of eliminating the wind noise. Unfortunately I'm snowed in again with high temps in the low teens. However I'm pretty confident windscreen caused turbulence will miss my helmet based on my experience with the stock windscreen. With the stock screen I had to scrunch down pretty low in order to get the noise.

The modified screen extends 40mm more (about 1.6") than the stock screen on either side and on top, and I think it looks more sporting than the tall screen. At the same time it provides a little more wind protection to the chest area.

Here is a before and 2 after pictures.







Has anyone else done a similar modification to their windscreen?

I cut a touring screen and use it for hot summer riding, use the stock touring screen with deflector on top for cooler weather. This allows the touring mount to be used for both screens and a quick change.

The deflector gets that rough air off or over my helmet. (6'3" rider height)

no I gave up on my OEM tall windscreen. IT was buffeting my head and huge wind noise even in a full helmet. I just put on a MRA vario touring windscreen. While it is technically shorter with the spoiler open to top peg the airflow I have noticed at lower speeds I feel nothing and at highway speeds while there is still plenty of air not at the level of buffeting I was dealing with. The MRA is 14 1/2 inches across where the Honda tall is only 9 1/2 wide. Lets a bunch of air blast past.

Get a Puig (or other brand) wind deflector that bolts on top of wind screen. I'm 6'2" and the air is hitting a little above forehead height. I actually have one I'd let go of. I cut another deflector out of my old Burgman wind screen that works better. Maybe I'll get to making a thread on it.

This is my setup.

It has worked very well for me. I really like being able to adjust it to suit the changing weather conditions.

This is the best solution for me: GIVI windscreen + MRA X-creen deflector.

I also tried the Honda tall windscreen but I didn't like. Too much noise into my helmet.

I also have the Bruuntt 2" adjustable risers on it.

I cut the Givi and I made myself a mra deflector. I only use the mechanism of mra, on this way the deflector fit perfectly on the screen.
