Windscreen swap?

Hello

Had a question for the group. Are the windscreens interchangeable between a 2018 R1200RT and a 2023 R1250RT?
I ride the 2018 and a buddy just purchased the 2023. His came with a shorter windscreen that he doesn’t think he’ll like. I have the standard one. I thought we could trade for a while to see if I like the short one and if he likes the taller one. Just not sure if they are interchangeable. And of course they are still tucked away under cover for the winter. A few more weeks to go.... :(

Thanks

There’s an easy way to find out…

Looks like they are different, as the 2013 - 18 screens are sold separately to the 21-23 screens

They are different. The 2021- onwards has only 4 mounting holes earlier bikes had 6.

They are different, but there are people on the BMW LT forum who have drilled new holes and filled the old ones so their werks screens can be swapped over

They can be drilled to fit, like I did.

Thanks Motor32, that’s most helpful!

Werks screen looks good. I hope it works out for you.
