Aftermarket Windscreen Advice ST1300 7Jurock screens?
« on: January 11, 2015, 08:06:49 AM »
I am narrowing down my final choices for replacing my stock ST1300 windscreen.

I am tiered of the buffeting noise, wind in my eyes and side wind pushing...

I ride with a "Shark VisionR" helmet with the visor 3/4 open and eyes about 10 cm over the top of the screen.

the shipping fees to Aus are significant and it irkes me that shipping is so costly.... I guess I am a tight  :butt     haha  :rofl

I have narrowed selection to "Bike Quip" from UK ($270) or "CeeBaily" from the US ($260)

Has anyone fit or had any experience with the "7jurock" company from the US?
rrp US $140 I have requested a quote for shipping to Aus yesterday and will update (if and when....) I hear back from them. Doesn't look like they will ship to Aus on main website...

I have a CalSci screen which was on the bike when I bought it, so I don't know how it compares with other makes, but I have no issues with it. I always wear earmold earplugs though so the noise is greatly reduced . . . I want to preserve what little hearing I have left . . . And my sight too . . Some refer to me as that "one eyed, deaf old Bustard"

I have had Eagle screens on my 1100 and found them to be quite good too . . . They are manufactured in Perth.

Both Calsci and Eagle make a variety of sizes and tints.

Hi zevk. here is a link to my comments on a CalSci screen I fitted to my ST back in 2012.
It makes it a bit easier to handle the postage costs if u include the heated grips if u need them.

I'm a big fan of the Bike Quip, I went with the 2" higher and wider and with a light tint :thumbsup

There are a few members that have gone with the Bike Quip screen and are also very happy with it ;-*

Do you know which manufacture makes the windscreen from Polycabonate material?

My research shows Bike Quip, Clear View, Cee Baily and 7Jurock are ALL made from "Aircraft high impact Acrylic.

1/4 inch thickness for all except Clearview which is 3/16 inch.

I agree that Polycarb is the lightest and toughest (unbreakable) material BUT scratches easy if it does not have an acrylic scratch resistant coating to it.

Just spoke to peter from screens for bikes.  He quoted 200 aud for 50 mm taller and wider screen including lip on top. Clear or light tint 4.5 mm thickness acrylic 10 year material warranty 1 week to manufacture.   04112 102029. Has anyone purchased from screens for bikes in the past.   Any advice welcomed.

I used Screens for Bikes for my ST1100, his advise was fantastic, and the screen was excellent quality.

Once I get a few more dollars, I will be getting a new screen for the ST1300 and the ZZr250 from him

Has anyone fit or had any experience with the "7jurock" company from the US?
rrp US $140 I have requested a quote for shipping to Aus yesterday and will update

www.7jurock.com/store/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=217

and the reply....

"We offer the replacement windshield in various height, anywhere between 18” – 26” tall and 20”-26” wide, in either clear or light gray. The shipping charges and price will change depending on the size you choose. The one you have messaged me on (18” tall, 20” wide- clear) is $160, plus shipping. The shipping cost for this item is approximately $110.

The windshield does not come with a flip. However, we can add a flip, at your request. You should be advised that the flip with create a little distortion through the top 2.5” of the windshield and we do not advise it if you will be looking through your windshield due to the distortion, which may be dangerous. If you will not look through the windshield at all, it will be a good idea. It will help push the wind up approximately 2.5” higher than the standard design. Thank you for providing the full delivery address. I was able to receive an accurate quote for you. The shipping charges will be $96.00 and the discounted windshield price will be $123.25, bringing the total for the order $219.25. ($270 AUD)  Please advise me if you would like to place the order and I will send you a PayPal Invoice. If you have any questions or concerns, please advise me. You may call me at 909-634-8548. Thank you for your time and for your interest in our products.

Looks more likely I will go with "Screens for Bikes" after speaking to the owner Peter, he advised I gaffa tape a few cardboard (shoe box) pieces to the stock screen and ride as a trial.

I have shaped a 5 cm piece with a lip (like "bike quip") to the top of the screen and another 3 cm extension to widen the width.

I will ride on the weekend to trial it and then will place an order for $200 if all works as expected...

photo to be posted soon...

Hi Shiney and other BikeQuip shield owners! 

I am considering a bikequip or copy of this design with a slight flip on top.

Does the "flip" area distort the vision considerably or is it still usable?  :think1
I mostly peer just over the top lip of the shield, but locationally look thru it as well....

Advice from "7Jurock" sales rep:

"The windshield does not come with a flip. However, we can add a flip, at your request. You should be advised that the flip with create a little distortion through the top 2.5” of the windshield and we do not advise it if you will be looking through your windshield due to the distortion, which may be dangerous. If you will not look through the windshield at all, it will be a good idea. It will help push the wind up approximately 2.5” higher than the standard design."

advice appreciated.
thanks

With the BikeQuip screen there is a narrow strip of distortion just below the curve of the lip.   However, when riding it is not noticeable, and is not an issue at all. It is clearly not dangerous.  I set my screen at the lowest setting that puts me in still air, and at that height I am looking well over the top of the screen, and can ride with my visor open and have no wind at all in my face at any speed.  Because it works so well at creating a bubble of still air for the rider, it is a little hotter on high temp days.

My biggest beef with the OEM screen was the terrible and relentless wind noise.  The BikeQuip screen is fantastic, and cuts noise to the point where it I don't really need ear plugs, even a high speed (but wear them anyway to preserve what's left of my hearing).    It's a well proven design, which is used and recommended by many OzSTOC members.   I'd be reluctant to go with an unproven adaption of another brand of screen.

Try to get your hands on a bike that has one fitted and take it for a spin, or if you can wait, there will be plenty of ST's with BikeQuip screens at National Rally.  You would certainly be welcome to give mine a run.

Stinkypete many thanks for the detailed response.  Your findings are exactly what I am seeking as I really am annoyed by the wind noise and if the bikequip solves that problem I will order it.   2 inch taller and 2 inch wider in clear?   I ride looking over the top of the screen and full face visor open usually.  Thanks again!

I bought the 2" x 2",  in the light grey tint simply because I thought it looked good.  When I received it, I bolted it on the bike, and went for a spin.   As soon as I hit even 60 km/h on the main road near home, I just knew that it was a massive improvement.  I cannot recommend the BikeQuip screen highly enough.  The light grey tint is so light it is barely noticeable, and you can see it in my photo in this thread.  http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=2651.0      :thumb    You can also get some idea of the degree and height of the distortion against the curtains in the background of the photo.

For what it's worth I'ver just ordered a new clear screen for $190.00 from a company in Seven Hills here in Sydney called Slipscreens. I've asked for it to be about 4 inches higher than normal and they'll cut it down to whatever I want if I find it too high.
They also go under the name of Handcraft Fibreglass.
Their website is as follows:
http://www.handcraftfibreglass.com.au
Some years ago I had a fall off my Hornet, which broke the bikini screen. I took this in pieces to Slipscreens who made another for me in smoke and less than half the cost of the original.

Ignore my query - sorry, I should have done a better search and have now found a comprehensive thread here on the subject.

Thanks ... Mark

Sorry to revive an old thread but I've become somewhat frustrated with the BikeQuip website (it is closed until further notice due to illness, which is unfortunate and I hope whoever is ill is on the road to recovery, but I stumbled across their facebook page and it seemed all was well - but ... I'm not savy to facebook and suchlike so I wasn't game to post any questions - if I could). So, long story, short I'm looking at other options and was wondering if anyone has gone down the Laminar Lip path and if so, what are they like. Here is a link: http://www.amcmotorcycles.com/contents/en-uk/p40728.html
