I have just purchased my oilhead and my wife doesn't like the turbulance from the stock bmw screen. any suggestions? I am coming off an '81CS and triumphs before that so I am new too the windscreen thing.
I have looked at many on line , different shapes and sizes, as well as manufacturers, but I simply don't know what I am looking for. Wider? taller? laminar lipped? My wife says the turbulence at speed is violent and tiring. Anyone else getting the same complaints and what did you do?

I put a Parabellum (the +4" size) on my R1150R.
I'm 6'6", and my wife is about 5'8".
Very satisfactory results - low turbulence and low distortion.

Thanks Jerry, I found a used cee baily that is 5" wider and 5" taller. I will spend the coin to give it a try. The temptation has been to just fit a Cs fairing as I don't really mind the weather and I make a pretty good fairing for my wife
