Here's a stupid story!

I've been trying to get a screen for the XT, and only one company makes them....Secdem in France.

Their website is all in French, so I e-mail them in English saying I want to order a screen. And I get no reply! :roll:

So...I locate the only stockist of Secdem products in the UK...Motobins in East Anglia. I phoned them up and said I wanted to order a screen for my XT600. They refused to accept my order because they will not take any orders UNLESS it's for a BMW.

So for the sake of elitism and brand snobbery, these wankers turn business away! :shock:

The whole world's gone fucking mad! :roll:

Have a look at Givi's site. They have a large range of screens. Also Busters do screens from various makers, as do Gericke and M&P.

Screens are very hit and miss. The benefits of decreased wind pressure are often/usually) cancelled out by increased wind noise and turbulence. I had a Givi on my CB1300 - after 20 miles I binned it, the increased wind noise and turbulence were horrendous. Others who used the same screen had no problems. Your height, your natural riding position and your helmet will all be factors in the equation. So, don't spend too much.
