MRA SpoilerScreen windshield for the K1200S

MRA makes a "spoilerscreen" windshield for the K1200S, but I couldn't find any good pics of it other than the one stock photo at twisted throttle. I went ahead and ordered one, and thought I'd post something for the next person looking for info on it.

I'm 6'4", and actually really like the stock screen. Stock, the airstream hits me mid-chest, and my head is in clean air. When it's cold though, I wanted the airstream to hit me a little higher. However, I really don't like the appearance of the Vario, Touring, or any of the bubble-type racing screens on the K12S. They're too tall.

So I'm happy with the SpoilerScreen. At the corners it's the same size & shape as stock, but across the center the screen extends a total of maybe an inch longer than stock, with a bit of a curl to it. It's a subtle difference, and most would probably never notice unless they knew. It makes a big difference in airflow, with the main stream now hitting just below chin-level. Much better for cold weather, my neck is more sheltered. There's also less of a 'defined' lower edge to the airstream, no doubt from the spoiler. I notice no buffeting, and maybe a tiny bit added noise.

If you're really looking for lots more wind protection, get one of the taller double-bubble or touring screens. But for just a little bit less air on my neck in winter, this one works for me. I'll swap back to stock size for summer. I like air.

Anyway, here are a few pics. The comparison shots have the MRA stock screen laying on top of the MRA SpoilerScreen.
