Thanks for looking into this Pete. If you do find a willing manufacturer I'm keen. I'm guessing it is the curve at the top which does most of the good work.
Cheers ... Mark

Pete

Yes, thanks for looking into this.  Like Mark, if you find another manufacturer, I'd be interested.  I imagine there's someone somewhere in OZ who could make them, all we've got to do is find them!

I would add my name to the list at the right price. They are a screen that I have heard no bad reports about. Just like the Russell Day Long.  :fp

Gents I have just received an email from Keith Munro, the Bike Quip proprietor and it is looking good for us to do a bulk order of screens and maybe some other Bike Quip items so stay tuned and save your pennies.

I have been in contact with Keith Munro from Bike Quip and he has sent me his current stock list with special prices for us (Glen D Price) and will do a deal on freight.
Talking to StinkyPete we have not been able to confirm exactly which 1300 screen Pete has but feel that any of the screens would provide the vast reduction in wind noise that Pete has experienced and that we assume is what most people would be looking for.
I have asked Keith if he could provide a pros and cons for each screen in stock but he is about to head off on a break for a few days so it may be a while before I get a reply. Also his health is not the best.
Attached is the stocklist.
So thoughts for the 1300 screens are that those who have expressed interest via this thread would have first options based on the order they expressed interest.
Pete has the tinted version but says it is a very light tint is happy with it not interfering with his vision.
It may help if those members who already have a Bike Quip screen can provide feedback on which screen they have and their thoughts about it.
In terms of freight my thoughts are that we would need to pick a single location and work around that. I am still flying back and forth to Sydney on occasions with a good luggage allowance. I shall also be passing through Melbourne and Adelaide in July.If you are serious about any of these items please pm me and add you email address. As there are a lot of other items I will also start a new thread just to advertise this more widely. Of cause the prices listed do not include freight. These items are also subject to prior sale as people are chasing Keith down.

I've also PM'd Glen.  Since I'm in Brissie, other Brisbanites (or elsewhere in QLD) might like theirs bundled with mine to save postage and travel within Oz.
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

PM sent for non screen items :grin


I have a Bike-Quip screen so here is a little about it.
(The one I have is the Flip Top with 2’ Wider each side (Extra Wide). 21” Tall with the Light Grey tint.)
I have tried a couple of screens on the ST, and this one is by far the best screen I have ever had (on this bike or any other).



The tint is nice looking and not very dark, I find it easy to see through when fully raised.
With the extra height and width I find that I am protected from bad weather (when moving) extremely well.
The only part of me that gets wet in the rain (with the screen raised and while moving :wink1) is my arms but that's mainly due to me being a large bloke.
The screen is well shaped and fits past my spotlights without hitting anything (I have the Police over mirror mounts with "Australian Moto Gear & Clothing" 20W Spotlights)

Anyway if anyone has any specific questions let me know

Cheers

I have the same screen as Shiney and find it very good. I cannot say that I have compared many however.
I bought it after strong recommendations from club members.

I would recommend the tinted extra high/extra wide 1300 screen.

Some feedback from Keith:-

It appears Pete has got one of my ST1300 Flip Top & 2" Wider at each side screens (Extra Wide) and 22" tall.
This is a screen which I used to make available but then I decided to reduce the choice, purely from the point of view..... I could see no worthwhile benefits in the 22" tall when compared with both the 20" and 21" tall versions.
Since making this decision some time ago, I have had no enquiries or adverse feedback about this particular screen being 'dropped'. Sorry Pete!
My own views on this are simple...... (and please push to one side the fact that my ST1300 screens are 100% my own design which I then have manufactured for me):
- no matter which of my screens any customer chooses, the difference in performance when compared with the original Honda screen is huge. This being the case, it then comes down to (for me) aesthetics and I think the 20" screen is the best looking screen, followed by the 21" etc etc..  Again.... sorry Pete!
In summary...... and I say with total confidence having sold over 4000 ST1300 screens, all of your friends and colleagues can look forward to enjoying the difference, no matter which of my screens they put on their bike!
Another thing I would point out to you (all) is..... no matter what the weather, (wind, rain, fog, snow etc etc)., you will not find any benefit from looking through the screen. The highest you will ever set the screen (obviously, only on elec screen models) is to the point where you are looking.... just over the top. With the foregoing in mind, you can ride with either Clear or Light Grey tint.

That's a bummer.
After trying a handful of different screens i can't recommend highly enough the extra wide flip top 22 inch tinted screen.
The fact that he has sold over 4000 screens is very impressive though  :grin
