z screen on a r ?

A while back I bought an aftermarket tall screen off another forum member for my r, happy days I thought.
No, the problem is that with it fitted instead of the wind hitting me in the chest it now gets me straight in the teeth which causes me major neck ache as I often ride with an open face moto cross lid.

I've been trying to find a suitable screen for hopefully not much brass so, my questions are;
Will the tall screen off the z fit?
Has anyone tried it? And would any ten owner near me be willing to try it?
What about warming the one I've got in hot water/air and reshaping it?
Has anyone else got any better ideas?

I'm planning to do a lot of motorway miles very soon so could do with a solution??

Get some quarter inch or so thick perspex, cut it to shape with a jigsaw trim the edge with a belt sander, bend it with the heat from a hot air gun, make 2 brackets from the handlebar brace bolts, = relative comfort, no head shaking from windblast, and it gets covered with flies not me, although I get some on the visor.

There was a guy on here from a while ago got the tall yammy screen and put a load of spacer blocks under it so the screen sat off the front cowl by about 3-4cm. He said he played about with different angles etc etc.

The only other option is to see if you could drill holes in your screen you have now and attach a screen flat or heat curved piece of plastic on to it. You could even cut slots so you could move it up and down.

keep us all posted on how you far with this!!!!
