BikeQuip  (2" wider, 21" high, light tint)
http://www.st1300-accessories.co.uk/st1300_windscreens.html
Low noise
Looks good
No back pressure
Not as good in the rain as the stock screen
A bit pricey

Agree with Abe and Stinky Pete.

Shiney and I went halvies on the freight from BikeQuip and are loving our screens. Got the lightly tinted one. There are clear and darker option available.

Cheers.

I am going to buck the trend. My bike came with a bike quip and I went back to the original. No accounting for taste (or lack of it) I guess.

Gee I went on line and I like the look of the 1 inch wider screen with a 21/22 inch high wind lip, with the manual fixed screen on my 2003 ST 1300, might be tempted as mine is getting pretty pitted with age and klms travelled.

I prefer to ride with the wind in my face so I mostly have the screen down.  I have noticed that the Bikequip screen seems to handle buffeting better than the standard screen which seems counter intuitive.

By any chance, is your BikeQuip for sale?    I already have one, but there is probably a home for it somewhere if you still have it and need the storage space at home.   :grin

Hi Pete,

I thought about selling it but  for what I would get for it I might as well keep it as a spare. They definitely work better than the standard.

No worries.   It was probably worth asking on behalf of other OzSTOC members.  :thumb

I bought Diesel's VStream.  It widens at the top.  It seems to be a bit better than stock in the "just looking over" position.  In the high position it's just like being in a car.  I think there is less back-pressure than the stock screen, although that never greatly bothered me.  Having the jacket puffed out a bit in front with the pressure zone is a bit odd, but provides some cooling in summer.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
