Sport-touring screen (for Magni fairing) and new mirrors

[Gio]

Just fitted the final replacement parts following accident damage earlier this year ... a replacement screen for the Magni, and a pair of Vitaloni Californian mirrors. Gustafsson now offer a taller (10") "sport-touring" version of the screen for the Magni fairing (the standard one is ~ 6") so I thought I would give that a try.

 

I was hoping that fitment would be straightforward (as I already had the standard Gustafsson fiited) - but the taller screen required some outward bending of the fairing frame plates (the ones the mirrors bolt through) ... otherwise ok. It's also a little longer than the standard screen - extending an inch or so further than the standard - so I may trim the back corners accordingly.

 

The result is a much better screen - particularly if used with a tank bag ... more room to get under and actually view through. I was also surprised at how much more of that magnificent intake noise now reaches the ears! Recommended.

 

Not so much the Californian mirrors. They look great - and had a bolt spacing of 65mm (close enough to the 63 mm of the originals, so just a small amount of drilling / filing) but frankly useless at speed - too much vibrational distortion.

Excellent, Man!

 

Road Trip!!!

Thanks docc ... good to be back in the saddle so to speak.

 

So ... lot's of miles (km) to make up for lost time ... indeed!
