Windscreens for the ST1300A

 :dred11

I recently decided I wanted a very short screen for my ST1300A as in hot weather I find more airflow would be great.
I contacted Peter from Screens For Bikes with my design and he came through with flying colours. He is in Melbourne, Victoria and his website is www.screensforbikes.com
Have a look at my red ST in his website photos. When the screen is low it just covers the dash and when raised it comes to eye level. I don't think I will need the OEM screen again even in cold riding.

The price was $160 plus shipping if required and the quality and service was exemplary.

Good to see one locally made, one gets used to looking at overseas stuff on the net you often miss good local stuff.

Nice job Outback. Have you noticed better stability/less buffeting etc with this configuration?

Diesel, Everything is just the same as with the OEM screen except that when it is right down you get more air on you. Just smooth air, sort of like when riding a naked bike.

Dave Roper just put on a V-Stream. Interested to here what he has to say about them. Wondering what they would be like in summer. My wife likes the screen all the way up when she's on the back. Doesn't get as much wind buffering.

Scrap, is yours a summer screen? The dark screen compliments your STead.

I just test rde an ST13 (another story) and found in the low position it let plenty of air through. Depends on what you are used to I suppose (for me a fixed ST11 screen)
