flip screens

[Steve Northrop]

You'll find the "quiet" solution will be a shorter than stock screen, 1 1/2 
to 2" shorter. The only tolerable tall screen I've found is the Zero Gravity 
Sport Touring screen. While it raises the wind blast to helmet level, it is 
very smooth, there is no turbulence or buffeting.
