New screen required!

Hi Guys,
I'm 6'4" and am thinking about replacing the screen on my white 848 and want something that doesnt spoil the look of the bike but reduces wind as I have a long trip coming up. Any suggestions?

Again if you search the 848 and 1098 forum you will find references and reviews of what people have bought. One fact especially as your so tall is that reducing wind blast on chest seems to increase loading and discomfort on wrists. How long journey- considered bar risers as well as screen?

I got a puig db one which was good......until it started to crack

Don't want to spoil the looks, why not try a Camber CR500 SS

Yeah, was wondering whether reducing wind blast to the chest would make the wrists uncomfortable. I'm riding to Assen Netherlands, so a bit of a trek. Hmmm, not sure whether to chage it now??

I'm not your height but find the Fabbri on the 1098 and (not sure what the make is on the SPS) definitely work for me.
Reduced blast on chest/head but doesn't unload the wrists too much either

the F Fabbri screen is the one I am going for next,
had one on my blade and it worked a treat.
