Parabellum extra tall

[Reveille]

Mine in the high position hit the hand guards at full lock. In the low position it hits the turn signals.... Pick your poison. I am in the low position right now. It is doing a good job and I don't get any buffeting. If anything I'll try to trim a little bit at the turn signals so they don't rub.

Or maybe consider switching to the hanguard LED turn signals to eliminate the offending signals. Food for thought.

I would think even a smaller stalk turn signal would work. The factory signals are fairly large.

You can mount it in the lower position but the lower, outside corners will rub on the turn signals. I'm 5' 10" and found the tall screen in the top position was too tall. I was looking through it too much. So I cut rounded sections out of the corners and mounted it in the lower position. Now it's perfect. See the photo earlier in this thread. I'm very happy with this screen. It's creates a quiet, undisturbed pocket of air for me (along with the Yamaha side wind deflectors) and the flow of wind goes right over the top of my helmet. I can ride with my visor open at any speed.

Good to know. I am also 5' 10" with a 30 inch inseam and hate looking through a windshield. I have not yet received my shield but looking forward to the quiet. I think riding this bike for 27 k has greatly contributed to ringing in my ears. It is the worst bike for wind noise I have ever had. And this with the tall Yammie shield.

Well I have the 24" screen on now. Tried it in the low position but was still getting wind noise so tried it in the top position, but same wind noise. So going to go back down to the low position. I find in the high position I am looking through it., which I hate.
In the top position my bars are not touching the screen in full lock. In the low the screen does ride on the signal lights. I think I will also trim the screen to clear.
But contrary to what overs have said about curing the wind noise with the 24" shield , I still have wind noise ,but it is better than the Yamaha tall screen that I had on before. This is with the Yamaha side shields as well.

I am wondering how much the mirrors contribute to the wind noise? They certainly stick well into the wind.
Going to try a set of bar end mirrors that I have on my Sportbike and see if that makes a difference to reducing noise.

Do you also have the side wind deflectors? I have them and I don't get wind noise at all.

[Tengai]

Yes. I also have a Corbin seat. So maybe that places me in a different spot on the bike. ::021::

Has anybody tried the Madstad bracket with the Parabelum 24" ?
Also wondering if the mirrors and or the handguards could be a big source of buffeting?
Going to remove the mirrors today and go for a quick ride and see if it is better.

I don't know that there is much of a difference with the wind deflectors after lowering the screen. I actually had to remove the deflectors the other day to trailer the bike. They were in the way of the tie down straps. At this point I'm probably going to leave them off.....
