Best touring windscreen?

I am 5 ft 10 with an inseam of 31 inches and tried 4 different screens combined with top deflectors, fork deflectors and risers. None worked for me except the Madstad 20 inch screen. I use the seat in the high position (largely because it's so difficult to locate it in the low position)

There so many threads on this topic I really didn't want to start a new one. So here goes..
What is the hot setup for the 2020 AS? I have two major issues:
1 - with the stock screen (on the lowest adjuster position) the top of the screen is right in the middle of my vision. It needs to be shorter so i can comfortably see over it.
2 - wind buffeting around my shoulders and the side of my helmet. The air pocket seems to be very narrow and I believe the screen needs to be wider than stock. I know this has been widely discussed but many of the screens / solutions aren't (yet) available for the 2020 AS.
I'm 5"9 or 10, 32" inseam, seat adjusted to the low position. Any recommendations?

  • National Cycle Vstream N20067 Sport seems like a good choice but only comes in dark tint, the sport touring screen is taller than stock so probably wont work for me.
  • Not keen any solution that adds a 'lip' to the top of the screen
  • I had a Madstad on my previous bike (Vstrom) but they don't make a screen for Honda 2020 AS
  • Any experience with the Ermax sport or WRS intermedio screens?
Yeah - the Madstad would have been your solution. Staggering as it may seem the lack of intention to make one for the 2020 by Madstad was a major factor in me deciding to keep my crf1000 rather than upgrade to an 1100. However, that doesn;t help your situation. I'm 5'10 and a 31 inside leg, so I must have a longer body than you, and consequently didn;t have any problem with vision over the 1100 demo bike's screen when I rode it. But here's the thing. I can ride my crf1000 with the seat in the normal position, and in fact always rode my previous one with it in that position. So with your leg length being 1 inch longer you SHOULD be able to manage the 1100 with the seat in the normal position ... it may feel slightly awkward at first but it's doable.
