asking the hive mind to identify the brand and model windscreen this one is ... grazie in advance, as I have googled it, with no results.
Looks like the Touratech screen to me, fitted with the Iconic Screen Spacers. Tried one on my bike, given the price I asked Touratech if I could return it if it didn't cure the buffeting. It went back and they refunded me. In the end used Iconic Spacers and the OEM screen having also tried the Puig Touring Screen.
sweet baby jebus ... US$239.95? and that's not even including the shipping costs ... and the retailer here in the states has a no return policy if the part has been used.
IMO the screen is not the cause of the buffeting, it is the air that passes through the handlebar cutout part of the screen that is the worst. I have not seen a solution for that yet and have tried 4 different screens all with/without MRA vario as well. The best screen IMO for me, at 183cm, has been the Givi. With some kind of side protection, you could maybe have an exceptional setup but the handlebars are just not helping with that...IMO.
Touratech UK didn't want to offer the option for me to return the screen if not deemed suitable. They eventually relented insisting that I fitted it carefully and briefly tested without removing the protective plastic film. They retained the option to refuse the return if I sent it back looking anything other than new and unused.
Bloody hell, that’s bigger than our patio door! The best screens I find for buffeting are the small screens, as you get clear airflow. I run the pikes peak screen on mine, and it’s perfect. Tested up to 160mph, and no buffeting.
Yep, huge and the version I bought was the tinted one which was darker than I expected, possibly some of this was the apparently clearish protective film. Pretty well obscured a significant portion of my forward vision in the dusk conditions I took the test ride in, not good. The small PP screen makes it more like a sports bike with your head in the airstream, not ideal for extended day after day touring IMHO so not what I'm looking for. Had a Puig Touring screen on my MV Turismo which was a huge improvement over the std one. Disappointed the Mutley version wasn't similarly effective. @laava is likely correct that it's the narrow 'waist' of the lower portion of the screen, combined with the pressure differential which is greater the larger the screen is, that's the problem. As this narrowing is required for handlebar clearance it features on all of them. The std screen with @Jamie Clare Iconic Spacers worked best for me. Not sure if it's the fact that it moves the screen away or that it's slightly more vertical but with my 6' frame it's better, best of the various permutations I've tried, not perfect but tolerable.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAPegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw3LLj7Va2tIzrjtQNRWyKZ- I used one of these chaps touring screens on my 1200 Mut, along with the spacers. Was the best result I could find. I'm 1.83m tall and had a Shoei Quest at the time. Can't remember any problems with it.
That thing looks like a spinnaker - and personally, don’t think it helps the lines of the bike. Each to their own thou..... I tried the Ducati touring screen but for me it a seemed worse for buffeting and noise. Then the iconic spacers with the standard screen and it seems tolerable for my short arse (I’m 5’8) and using the lowered seat position. Also invested in custom earplugs to reduce the noise from the buffeting and found that a shoei lid was quite a lot quieter than an arai. Thinking of swapping between a pikes peak for normal use (Sunday ride out etc) and the standard screen + spacers for touring. On a slightly contentious note, wondering if the new v4 will still have the same issue?
Have you noticed the little clear screen extenders on the new V4? They look like a bit of an afterthought to me but they’re clearly there to do a job.
Same as above, I gave up trying to block wind and got a copy of the PP screen to let it hit me smoothly. So much better for me and I like the way it looks as a huge added bonus. Also I have zero wind noise when I turn my head to the side to lane check or admire scenery.
these? https://www.ducati.com/us/en/accessories/ACC012027 wonder how long it will be until some company starts making these for earlier model Multi windscreens?
There was a guy in Australia who made these for the early Multis. EDIT: just found a link, they were called 'hiss flaps' or 'Uncledons' wings made in Australia, very similar to the solution Ducati now have on the V4 (Hope they paid him some royalties): https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/excessive-wind-uncledons-wings-wind-deflectors.4333/ Pictures and a template here, for the early bikes: https://andyw-inuk.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Ducati-Multistrada-1200/Multistrada-1200-Wind/ I still find the Wunderlich deflector is the best option for touring (even if it doesn’t look great)
Interesting - I need to have close look at a V4 as I am wondering if these winglets could be modified to fit a 1260 screen? If they could then it may help with any buffeting and I have spare screens in the workshop. I agree that the Wunderlich deflector is best for touring but if these wings fit it could be event better.
