Switched from a GS

After 25 years on a few GSs, I've bought my 1st RT. Main drivers include comfort, never riding the GS off road and the onset of tinnitus! I don't want to stop riding so am going to try and RT to get a quieter ridden. So to the key question... what screen should I get? I'm 6' and find the stock screen has quite a bit of buffering even in the high position over 60mph. So, all views and pointers welcome!!!

I have bad tinnitus as well and just bought a 22 reg RT from Chester Motorrad. I was disappointed riding it home as the stock screen wasn’t as quiet as I was expecting. I ordered the Ztechnic Vscreen off eBay and it is a big improvement. The only downside is that the ‘bubble of quiet air” is only achieved with the screen it the highest position, meaning that I am looking through it, rather than over it. However, I’m happy to do that as it’s very quiet with no buffeting - I can ride at 70mph + with my visor open. Once the screen is lowered below eye level it becomes as noisy as the stock unfortunately. I also tried a shorter screen with a flip but it didn’t work for me either. The Vscreen is quite expensive at just over £200, but definitely worth it.

Nice timing... just been looking at that now! I think that's the way I'm going to go. Thanks for the reply.
