Hey Slidder-hope everything's goin great for ya there!Well-I like the MRA-very smooth at speed.I'm happy with it.I go back and forth now with my stock screen and the MRA.Since I bought that Vemar helmet-the wind effects have definitely "changed".It cuts way smoother in the air stream.And keeping my helmet above the screen lip(I'm 6'1")seems to work the best really.The windflow is the smoothest right there at high speed.I have a Zero Grav touring screen-Haven't tried it yet with my new helmet-but before-it worked very well at directing the blast,and VERY good at creating a calm pocket just behind it(it did affect handling a bit in turning-in at higher speed,but nothing I couldn't compensate for...had to start my turn-ins a bit earlier,and hold a bit firmer while turning)(tucked in I might add).I've found that having my head in the airstream is the quietest and smoothest spot now.So directing the air for me means having a shield LOWER and having the "blast"(not much with my stocker and MRA)hit me below the helmet-works REALLY WELL.My helmet is VERY SLICK at higher speeds-very little turbulence even up to around 150,160.Hope that helps ya-ride safe with the Son!The MRA is the "touring" model....same one as on the Kawasaki website for "accessories".(but the MRA comes in different shades and clear(I think).Same windshield however.

Good stuff ridepastu, Hi there blue good to see the MRA is a winner, although they do look a lot better and a lot faster on a silver bike.
Slidderhd, Hows the trailer working out, did you go to the Dragon at Easter like you were planing.

ethin14. It is just now getting where the events are starting up heavy. I have pulled the trailer to carry some ministry supplies to a few chapters that were working events in Northeast Alabama and it works great. It is such a blessing to be able to carry all I need to work the ministry and also disconnect it in a few minutes to just hit the curves. I have had her up to about 110mph with the trailer and she doesn't even know it is back there. Since I weigh about 265lbs, I have had to increase preload, rebound and compression dampening to stiffen her up. I love this setup. Thank You for everything. I will send pics soon.

Hi there slidderhd, sounds great 110 with a trailer. I wouldn't do
that with 4 wheels, my four wheels anyway, sounds like you got it covered hope it brings much happiness.
Blue, a rich Doctor came down from Japan with his F-50 Ferrari .The race
use to run from Darwin to Alice Springs it was called the cannon ball run, about 1000 miles no speed limits
The Good Doctor killed Himself some official,co - driver I believe, left the road at 350klm/h
They canned the event!!!!. Could of signed you up other wise
