Jason,I have run 4 screens on my S:
1) Standard.Good but could do with a little more upper body cover.
2)BMW raised.Crap.Terribe wind noise and not much more protection than the standard.
3)Parabellum 16".Excellent protection.But very ugly.Imported from USA so very expensive.Snapped when I dropped the bike in snow
4)Zero Gravity smoked.Very good.Bought from someone on Yahoo for cheap.Extended sides and taller.I think it is available in the UK.
HTH?

..Jason I use a Zero Gravity smoked screen, Its been on both my 'S's so must have done over 45000 miles and its still in fair condition. TTS over at Silverstone were the importers but I did hear that it was no longer available. Always worth a phone call though.

..MRA do an interesting looking screen, Adjustable for height and angle. Saw one on an S in Hawes a few weeks ago looks well made and could be worth further investigation. Costs around £105 though.

When i bought my S it came with two screens(H/L BMW) the high in certain situations is OK,but in others is an absolute horror,i tried it once never again!!!!.

The MRA screens are exactly the same as the Wunderlich ones.
SPC carry them as stock items.Not cheap!
