Hi all , just been out tonight for a good run out . Don't get me wrong the front end on the tuono is way more aero dynamic than a monster but fancy a higher screen . And maybe some hand guards , anybody got some fitted . Would love to see some pics for ideas . What make are right and what sort of money :thumbup
Thanks Lump

no hand guards sorry, but i've got a puig double bubble screen. pretty certain i've got a black one going spare but think it's had 4 holes drilled in for sat nav mount?

I've recently fitted a Ermax tall screen ... off e-bay seller ... clear smoke or dark available for £40 ish

Only a couple of outings so far and visor still covered in shattered flechs so not much improvement there.

It doesn't feel much different to the taller Aprilia screen (which is better than the standard) but it does look lovely.

I also note that at 90mph its more buffety ... and coincidentally read an article last week by Guy Martin in which he said the way to get the most out of a DB screen (or presumably any tall screen) is to drill holes at the base to break the vacuum effect and so eliminate aforementioned head wobbling buffetyness.

Now that makes perfect perfect sense ... but I am to tight / scared to drill mine!

Not sure if this is the best way to find this thread - you could just search using the word handguards

I have fitted dorsoduro guards to my gen2 and they do seem to work OK

I've a Puig double on mine, it looks nice but you do get some bufferting, as Wellt says at higher speeds. May fit the standard 1 to see what the difference is.

only just noticed the funny line, assume it's from the flash. it's taller than the one on the pic on my bike by the way.

honestly make me an offer, you wont insult me.
