I have just fitted the large version of this add-on screen to my K100RT. I am 6'0" (183 cm) and the bike has the standard 54 cm screen. I get quite a lot of wind noise unless I crouch down behind the screen, so I hope this accessory screen will be enough to lift the air over the top of my helmet and make my riding substantially quieter.
It is a well-engineered piece of kit, and all the hardware is of high quality, although bearing in mind the price I would not expect anything else. I have yet to go for a spin with it, but I like that adjustments can be made without tools, so it ought to be easy enough to experiment in the middle of a journey. There are two methods of attaching the screen included: one option is to drill the screen (an excellent self-adhesive template is provided), the other method is to use clamps on the screen edge. There is a large range of adjustments that can be made with either method of fixing. I have elected to use the clamps, rather than drill the screen, although once I have found the ideal position for the screen I might get the drill out as the brackets look a little tidier.
