metal mule
 
not that much noise inside my helmet after I got the metal-mule windscreen.

I got a discount on the shipping, it was initially more expensive then the windscreen itself. Delivered on door with DHL.

I can see on the windscreen that it is a little more "bendt" out on the top then the orignal. Probably to route the wind and turbulence away from the driver. Have only driven a few short trips with it but so far happy. I was suprised how much better the bike was to drive without all that noise and head shaking.

Personaly I think it looks good, better then the original windscreen. I got the tinted. Suits the black Tenere fine

With the original windscreen the turbulence and noice was changing from almost silence to terrible. Have not experienced so big changes on any bike before.

Stu,

I got mine from ebay, it was being sold individually then. Ive stuck mine on using sticky double sided outdoor pads.

My rough idea (although not completely thought through yet) is to use neoprene like a wet suit stretched to form the aperture and secured in some fashion to the bike , with slots for the fork legs to rotate:118:.

That was the way it was done on my aprilia leonardo scooter - but it was stiff rubber and not neoprene.

It was a few mm thick and cut for the forks. I'll see if i can upload a picture.

Number 4 in the picture. Note that the rubber fits the fork when going straight but will be more untight when cornering
