Windscreen options
#33
Back in February, whilst waiting on RS #2 and binging on accessories, I came across a For Sale post over on the "other site" (RIP) by an owner in CT who was moving on from an RS to an RT, and he was stripping some very nice farkles. I picked up the Wunderlich Marathon Screen and a Vario deflector, along with a set of Side Wind Deflectors from him for a very reasonable sum and the whole kit was in pristine condition.

Anyway, after 250+ miles of getting pretty beaten up by the standard screen, I used up a chilly Saturday morning getting it all installed. Install was easy, given the relative uselessness of the Wunderlich instructions, so I didn't take any pics of any steps - too boring. The screen and side deflectors are a dark tint and Vario is slightly lighter (and a bit goofy looking), but it seems to work!

I'll post "after" pics within the next day or so. It's more or less an early generation Vario, and there's a "bigger/better" version out there now for another couple hundred bucks, but I'll just keep trying out its infinite number of possible positions until it's totally dialed in.

Got a brief, brisk, 20-mile test run in this afternoon, and it makes a big difference in terms of keeping my arms, torso and head out of the fray, but it sounds like the Vario is directing 100% of the airflow through the top vents of my helmet (Shoei GT Air-2). Can't feel it but sure can hear it! Maybe need to tip the Vario more "up"? We'll see!
