The black R1150 in the POW has a very nice windscreen! Who makes that and where can I get one?
I miss riding sooooo much, roads are crappy here in CT. so I'm gonna spend more moolah on her as she waits patiently in my garage. For those of you in warmer climates with no salt, sand, snow and ice, put a few miles on for me!
Thanks

Maybe it's a universal screen to fit most bikes with a certain size headlight.

Difficult to say for sure since it's kinda far into the background, but methinks it looks suspiciously like a Givi, prolly an A750. Here's my similar, but slightly larger, A760:

It might be a Givi windscreen.

Yeah, mostly happy. It blocks wind off the torso very well, tho my hands are still out in the cold breeze. The screen is adjustable by tilting the angle; I've found that by raising it upright and angling the Saeng winglet on top vertically that I get good protection, but it's noisy. Lowering the angle of the screen, and tilting the winglet near horizontal gives me more wind on the face, but it's way quieter.
Here are some more picts:

I'd like to tell you it's more like those wing thingies they put on the rear of Formula One cars, to keep the car down while they are accelerating to 230 mph, but, I'm not that fast ... and neither is my R.

AHHAAA! I found it, based on the angle and shape of the shield, I believe that it is the Wunderlich Classic Roadster Fairing! Thanks for the input from all. The givi's look very similar.
