K1200LT: Cee Bailey Windshields

[BMWK1200LTRIDER]

I'm looking at purchasing a Cee Bailey windshield. I need some advice.
I have a standard windshield from BMW that I do not like two reasons. First in the lowest setting the top of the windshield is right at my line of sight.
second the clarity is not too good, wavey distortion present.

I purchased a short Euro-Type for summer use. Love it! bought it second hand, don't know the manufacturer. It is too short for the cold Illinois Winter.

I would like to get a windshield that will:

A. Be taller and out of my line of sight when fully retracted.
B. Be crystal clear, no distortion.

I like the looks of Cee Bailey's. I know of the company through my work with aircraft, so they make a good product.

If I get a tall, +4 standard will it stall the windshield position motor?
Would a +2 standard be tall enough?
What about the "winged" cuts?

I hope some of you that have lived with these windshields will give me some advise.

Thanks!

Also take a look at the ztechnik windshields( fhttp://ascycles.com/detail.aspx?ID=43917)for your R1200RT. I've ordered one and am still waiting. Very popular but backordered.

I would suggest you visit the BMWLT site. there is a lot of discussion on different sheilds for these bikes.

Sparkchaser -

Ivan here - C.B. outside sales. I suggest that you visit your closest C.B. Test Center, Gina's BMW in IA. We have a program we started this summer with certain dealers. You can go to them, and test sample screens until you find the one that works best for you, and then they will order it in for you. There is a list of test centers in our adverts. in MOA and RA.

FYI - none of our screens will over-stress your w/s motor.

also - w/s height is subjective and depends on your seat position, inseam, torso length, 1-up vs. 2-up riding, etc. I don't recommend asking other owners for advise on choosing a size for you.

finally - our inside sales guys can be helpful in getting you a proper fit, but I HIGHLY recommend going to the test centers to be sure you will get exactly what you need.

Thanks BMWIVAN.

I knew about the test centers I just did not know that Gina's was one.

That sounds laike a great idea!
