Hey Andy,
You must let us know if there's a difference. Being 6'2", the wind hits just under the helmet. I've gotten used to it. Plus I bought the Aprilia tinted version just a couple of months ago. Figures someone would finally get around to our bike. Please give us the whole low down. IE: quality, ease of install, and pictures .
I'm not asking for too much I hope
Kevin

Any news on this? Being another 'person of height' (6' 3") I'd welcome a new screen. I've seen the picture on the RSVR site but it doesn't look all that different to the standard item.

Cheers.

Well surprise surprise! I got an e-mail from RSVR saying " Due to the NEC bike show your order will be delayed by about 3 weeks, sorry...etc"
I even got a camera just for you boys(and girls?) but you'll have to wait, sorry.
Andy.

I went to the NEC on saturday and at the RSVR site there was a Falco complete with the screen I ordered. Don't like that! I think it was designed for racing as it's very steep. Thing is, I fitted a screen to my old ZX6 that was very simmilar and it looked poo. So, order canceled. No screen. Again.
Did get an iridium visor though £60 (Arai signet) and some Wiz knee sliders £30 (as if I'll need them)

Yeah, I saw the Falco at the NEC (rsvr.net stand) and wasn't overly impressed. The bubble seems much more pronounced than I thought it would be but I may still go for it simply because of my height. Chap on the stand said he hadn't ridden very far with the new screen so couldn't really say how much more wind it deflected but considering he's not a lanky get like me it's probably as good as a Goldwing fairing for him.

Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy one anyway...

hi Dean,
did you get the double-bubble? would be nice to post your first impressions and some pics (side, total etc) cos the only one on rsvr.net is not very informative. would be a nice info for a german falconeer, cos these guys from rsvr seem to be unable to do this

cheers-h.
