Eagle Screen

[Dougal]

Does any have an Eagle Screen? I am looking at getting one and am seeking some feedback on what size and tint people got and what they think of it.

Cheers,

Dougal.

I have the large touring screen in light smoke - I also have a Givi. I'd ordered the Givi and ended up waiting 4 months!!! In the meantime I was going from Perth to Sydney so I bought one in Perth.

It's the one in my Avatar:

Sensing an opportunity and since I now have a Givi - you can have this one for half price - $75 + postage? Anybody else is welcome to it if you don't want it!

Thanks for that oodeano. Can you compare the Eagle to the Givi?

I think the air off the Givi is a whisker smoother but there's not much in it. I also think the Eagle is thinner so the bit more flexing might be causing that turbulence? That may all be to do with the load that was on the back - it does change the flow apparently - even with just a top box.

I've only ever had it on the Madstad - don't know what it's like without it?

It's definitely wider and can touch the handguards at full lock depending on position. It's done 7122 from Perth and 1500 ish to Brisbane when they called me to tell me the Givi was in. I put the Givi on for the trip back to Sydney - seems odd to be talking about screens in km?

Since I've already made the offer with the risers I'll make you the same offer with the screen. Give it a try - if you don't like it just mail it back or on to the next person if there is another one? Saves you buying it then not liking it and being stuck with it!

Hey Dougal,

Mine is the one in the picture that K1W1 posted. It is the really short one. Completely black tint (can't see through it at all) and it is on a set of Madstad brackets and is tilted out as far as it can go.

My preference was to ride the bike without a screen at all. I really only got this one to make the front look a bit nicer :)

I do get wind hitting my helmet, but it is smooth - no more buffetting of my head. The only thing I don't like about it is that at the top, it is cut straight across in a straight line, I would have preferred it to be curved.

Note: I also found that regardless of the windscreen I had on, having the Madstad brackets tilted out as far as they can go gave me the best results.

Anyway, since I got it, I haven't thought about windscreen issues at all. :)

Thanks for the info and offer of purchase guys. I have bitten the bullet and ordered one anyway.

We'll see how it goes.
