BikeQuip  (2" wider, 21" high, light tint)
http://www.st1300-accessories.co.uk/st1300_windscreens.html (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.
