 Great Screen, but... |
| The end result of this installation is a super screen for the Adventure. I\'m 5\'11\" and the adjustablility is wonderful. I can\'t give the product five stars because of the almost total lack of dirctions -- the installation was one of the worst I\'ve ever done. Also the fit and finish was not up to the normal high quality of a Wunderlich product. |
Versatile efficient wind screen |
| Bought this for my 2008 R1200GS - had gotten sick of the buffeting from the wind due to the low OEM windscreen. Installation was easy enough but it helps to have a 2nd person be available to help hold the screen and tighten screws during install. After researching many different windscreens, I decided to go with the Vario as I do some off road and liked the ability to drop the windscreen. The major buffeting by the wind is gone completely! I can flip up my visor and not have my eyes tearing from the wind and my chest is no longer getting pounded around. Highly recommended! |
good replacement screen for tall riders |
| I am 6\' 5\" and the stock BMW GS ADV screen made me feel as if I was a wind tunnel tester. The new one does it job and lowers wind noise. It makes riding the bike much more comfortable. My only complaint is the mounting hardware seemed cheap. And the installation a little tricky. You have to mount the screen from the bottom up and be very careful with the screws. BMW has some weird angles for receiving their screws. |
great upgrade |
| This screen completely solved the wind buffetting problem that I had with the stock GSA wind screen. The wind is no longer slapping my helmet and it is calm and quiet in the helmet allowing me to listen to music. I recently used the new screen on a 3000 mile ride and it performed very well both on-road and off-road. When offroad, I lowered the upper portion and tilted the entire unit back out of the way. Installation was as expected. |
Great wind protection |
| This offers great wind protection, I can hear music in my helmet with ease now. However I needed to trim some of the side off because BarkBuster hand guards hit it. |
Exactly what I wanted |
| Easy install on 2012 F800GS. In the low position I get lots of air flow for off road riding. For highway the sweet spot for me is at about 2/3 height. A huge improvement over the stock screen. I am 6'2". Just be sure to lower the screen before riding off road as looking down through it is very distracting in the rough going! Overall very pleased with this screen. |
Excelente |
| Una muy buena compra para mi F650 GS, realmente los niveles de confort aumentan muchisimo con este parabrisas. Incluso en caminos malos, aunque vibra un poco, resulta muy útil. El envío llegóa a destino en un tiempo más corto del ofrecido. |
Superb! |
| Product came pre-assembled, but all screws (etc.) should be checked for proper tightness. You will need some pieces from original screen. Installation took me approximately 30 minutes. This screen cured my buffeting problem. I love the adjustability factor. Highly recommended, particularly for taller riders. |
Nice Screen |
| This screen made a huge difference in the amount of noise and buffeting I used to get. It is quiet enough that I can ride with my helmet faceshield open if I want. The install went well and took about 45 minutes, including removing the old screen |
Could use more connection points |
| I have had this shield for a full season and found that it shakes quite a bit when driving, even when it is all the way down. It just does not feel solid. It could definately use a few more connections. Speaking of the connections, they tend to rip if you take your screen off too many times. I broke one when I took the screen off for an off road training course. I found another broken one when I took it off to put on the micro-flooters. I now have the stock screen back on and I'm not sure what I am going to do next. When the screen was on and I was on a paved road, it worked great. The protection it offers is very good. Just need to make to connection points out of something that does not rip so easily. |
No more buffeting |
| Windshield design works great no buffeting and much less noise set 2" lower than stock (2011 R1200GSA)Fit and finish on hardware was disapointing. Not what I expected!! |
Ergo Screen is fantastic! |
| The wind noise is so low I can listen to tunes at half-volume on my Sansa player, with the standard (not in-ear) earphones. I have the lower 'wings' on the bike also, and it is remarkably quiet. I have had 8-9 bikes with different windshields, and this one is the best since the Goldwing I once had. the arms and hands still get wind, but torso and head are quiet even at 80 mph.. |
Great screen especially for tall riders |
| I just recently installed this screen on my 2005 1200 GS. I'm 6'4 and sit on the bike with seat in the highest position. Obviously the stock windshield is useless for me but the Vario screen seems to be a great solution. With the shield in the highest possible position, wind noise is probably down 60% (this might be my helmet) and buffeting is down 90%. Wind on my chest is also dramatically reduced. For a tall rider, it's a huge improvement. I flipped my 3/4 helmet open at 85 mph on the highway and the wind on my face was like I was riding in a speeding convertible. To address the other reviews, installation was very simple. The one disconnect btw. the instructions and the product is that much of the windshield was shipped to me pre assembled by Wunderlich. I skipped many of the early steps. My one piece of advise is that despite being mostly assembled, make sure to go around to all the nuts and bolts and snug them up. Vibrations on the screen seem to be the same as stock and for non adventure owners, the addition of the support bar makes a great mounting spot for accessories. I can't comment on long term durability but considering the price of this upgrade, I'm quite pleased with it so far. |
ERGO Vario Screen GS |
| Overall, pleased with the performance of the screen. Installation could be made simpler by explaining some of the stock hardware will need to be reused. This took a little extra time to sort out. I have only used the tall screen, but adustability is better than I expected. I don't see much use for the smaller one. There is now a clear pocket of air around my head and I still look well over the top of the screen with the seat in the low position. Quality of the plastic is much better than stock as I have cleaned it several times now and have not experienced the scratching I did with the stock unit. I ride between 6000 and 8000 miles per season and would highly recommend this unit. |
Vario Screen |
| I wanted something for my 09 GSA that could be lowered for the hot weather. Just got the screen and installed it for a two day ride. First day was a bit rainy, had the shield at about the same height as stock GSA screen, no more 80+mph buffeting. I am 6' tall BTW. The next day was warm and sunny, ran with the screen lowered down all the way. Much cooler than stock. Installation was ok. I had to modify my GPS mount to not interfere with the sliding frame. Not a big deal. The upper mounting tabs seemed to be bent backwards? They didnt follow the contour of the upper screen bar? Had to bend them a little to get the bolts in straight. The cam locks are a bit tight, the right side is alost impossible to close with your hands, im sure that will break in over time. The frame seems to squeak a little on bumps as well. Overall I would recommend this product. Less buffeting and more customizable than stock. |
Great wind screen |
| I'm 6'2" and was getting a lot of buffeting from the stock screen on my 2011 GSA. I've put about 1,000 miles on the new screen since getting it and it's awesome. I put the tall screen all the way up on the highway, then drop it down when running on the gravel roads, seems very durable so far. Installation wasn't bad, took about 30 minutes. |
R1200GS vario screen |
| This windscreen seemed to need a little more R&D. The upper section would slowly slide down over the lower section while I was riding. Also, the screen was drilled incorrectly so that the top horizontal edge of the screen was not square with the road. The screen is a good idea, but bad execution - I returned it. |
As advertised |
| Fairly easy install. I've had it offroad and hiway speeds. Performs well in both cases. A little floppy compared to other screens, but still solid. I find it creates quite a downdraft, which is nice when it's raining...pushes the drops off the face shield...I wish it was about 2" taller, as I would then be totally in a quiet zone, but its all good. I'm 6'0" on a F800 GS standard seat plus airhawk. |
Too much windscren flutter |
| I have two issues with this windscreen mounted on by 2010 F650GS per the enclosed instructions. First, the upper portion of the W/S flutters/flops excessively on rough roads even in the lowered position. Its very distracting. If you're riding mostly smooth, paved roads, this may not be an issue for you, for rough roads you might get the imppression this W/S is about ready to come off of the bike. I have contacted Wunderlich Aamerica about my concerns and received no reply. Second, At full height this W/S directs turbulent air directly onto the lower portion of my helmet creating neck fatigue at highway speeds. I'm 6'1" with a 33' iseam on a stock seat. I like the concept of an adjustable height Dual Sport windscreen, but this one doesn't work for me. |
Good Screen but there are a few thinigs to consider... |
| Bought the screen for my 2010 R1200GS Adventure (30th Anniv.) I am satisfied overall but wanted to note a couple of (mostly minor) gripes. * The instructions that come with the screen are mediocre at best. There is no mention of the user needing to re-use several key OEM parts and very little detail is provided about the orientation of pieces in the jigsaw puzzle you must solve to get everything lined up and bolted on. I had to call Wunderlich to get mine on right after struggling with it for far too long. They were helpful and ultimately I got it on but their reply of "we don't write the instructions, they come that way from Germany" is not a satisfactory answer IMHO for an item this expensive. How hard would it be to create an additional document in-house with clarifying instructions/pictures and then add it to the package? I hope you're listening Wunderlich...this would be very helpful to your customers! * The other nit I need to pick is that the upper screen does vibrate around quite a bit at idle. I know that a boxer twin is an inherently vibration prone machine so I get that some movement is going to be inevitable in a two-piece, adjustable design but it would be nice if the manufacturer could figure out how to anchor the upper screen a bit more. All that being said, the screen is of fairly high overall quality and I can't imagine anyone wanting to go back to a fixed screen after they have tried an adjustable. The screen adjusts quickly and solidly and I have already moved it up and down liberally depending on my riding conditions in only a couple weeks of ownership. This may be a more necessary mod for taller riders as the OEM screen seems to be adequate for many shorter riders that I know. For us taller fellas who want to minimize the dreaded helmet buffeting you owe it to yourself to try this screen out. |
