Windscreens
Always been a fan of Zero Gravity windscreens and they are finally out for the 14. There are other brands out as well but I'll be going with ZG.

I'm happy with the aero's on the Puig double bubble. I get some wind still obviously, but it's not turbulent. The touring screen would probably be nice with the wife on the back but not worth the trouble of changing when she rides. I get turbulence from her head movement when I get over 90mph. Touring screen should help that.

I have no trouble getting tucked behind the factory windscreen. I did when I first got the bike. But since I started sitting back on the seat further when I tuck, that really helped. I still need to alter my camera mount so I can get into a good tuck. Can't do it with the camera on there. I think I need to extend the mount closer up.

I think bbird is wanting more wind protection when sitting up. Guess it would be nice when touring but the touring screen looks too out of place for me. I prefer some wind blast as long as it's not turbulent, it keeps some of the weight off of my hands.

Does anyone have good pics of the 14 with the ZG touring windscreen in place just yet? I am leaning that direction, but I want to see pictures from a couple of angles before I take the plunge.

Here's my new MRS wind screen next to the stock one. It has the stock appearing design but with a very slight raise to it on the rear. Smoke is the shade of it.

That looks nice - I love the fade! Now if they made it about 2" taller, I'd be all over it 
I like the looks of the Puig light smoke double-bubble, but they wrote "R1400" right smack in the middle of it, and IMHO it looks like ASS!!!

Recieved the ZG sport tour screen yesterday, after waiting 2 months,it had some marks on it so i sent it back for a replacement. The shipping packaging sucked,the box was half squished.

That's my luck. Wait 2 months for junk. Then wait again.

Looks good brent!
Can you measure the height difference between that MRA and the stock screen at the center? Thanks!

Alvaro - Does the MRA screen offer more wind protection than the stock screen? Do you know how much taller it is?
Thanks!

It looks like you can see through the bottom portion behind the gauges. Is it completely black down there, or just darker smoke? I want one, but not if it's completely blacked out.

zerMATT, it does offer more wind protection as it has a spoiler shape which drives the air upwards.
With the stock screen it's hard to ride above 180 kph for a while but with this one it's easy to keep >200 kph longer.
Xtremespeed, it's just dark smoke, not completely black.

Any recommendations for us dealers of the MRA windscreen? I see Greg pushing it pretty hard, and I most definitely *do not* want to buy it from him or anyone that he supports...

Just noticed that MRA also makes a double-bubble "racing screen" with more elevation than the others out there. This seems to fit somewhere in-between ZG's double-bubble and their touring screen. They also have a plain touring screen with a medium flip. I think these guys have the best looking selection out there.
Here's their "SpoilerScreen":
The "TouringScreen":
And the "Double-Bubble Racing Screen":

I wound up getting the Puig double bubble from Kneedraggers.com. Took less than 1 week to arrive after I ordered. Only thing I don't like is the 1400R sticker which I can't figure out how to get rid of. It looks similar to the picture above from zerMatt. I just got the bike out from its hybernation this last week. Couldn't tell much different in wind protection between the Puig and the stock screen, but then its been several months since I had been on the bike and my memory may be pretty poor.
