Talking CalSci Screen Installed

Received the screen yesterday. Put it on last night and only had time for a ten mile ride, most at 60-80MPH. Though not a comprehensive test, the preliminary results are very good! I bought the XL. At almost 6'3" I did not need the screen at the highest setting to get out of the windblast/noise zone.

New screen significantly reduced wind noise - my major gripe w/ the BMW tall screen. Driving pleasure dramatically up as a consequence. I am now hearing the engine whereas before the wind noise drowned out all noises.

On Saturday I will have a longer ride to find out more.

Re: CalSci Screen Installed

I just put the thing on (my '07 GT) last night so I do not have pics. However, this link will take you to pics (from another thread on this forum) that I had largely used to base my purchase decision.

Erwin - Your pics sealed my decision to purchase! Particularly the side shots comparing the BMW tall w/ the CalSci XL.
