That's why bikes like the Gold wing had a vent. I was thinking of putting a Goldwing vent in my screen

I just could not find a screen that had these for the R1250RT when I was looking for one I liked, I had one on my last bike with the vent and it solved the problem:

Wow, that’s a brave move. Not sure I would have the balls to drill holes in my screen. Respect.
How much bigger is the Powerbronze screen compared with the OEM?

Mine looks like a couple of inches taller and a different shape at the sides, it does not look much when next to each other, but there is a big difference the way the air is directed over and around you, for the money I paid for it (new) it was a bargain, I'd buy another in the future.

I have the same screen and it's actually half an inch taller at full height!
But the shape makes the air flow better in my opinion
I think it's the right size and the air management is good

I can't remember, I'm going for memory, but I think you can get the OEM screen in different sizes, and also the Powerbronze ones, mine is the 700mm version.
