Thanks dude. Looks good. £20 is a bargain too. Where did you have the wrap done? I guess the down side is that it is opaque. I had a full tint GSA screen previously, but could still see (a bit) through it....which is handy for bricks in the fast lane etc!
To be fair it took the guy 5 mins if that. I don't think he could have charged a lot more even if it was just the screen.
I might keep the spoiler but add the GS tinted screen and give it a go for more air. I have a longer body than legs so I sit quite high on the GSA and with the GoPro on the helmet the spoiler is there really to stop the buffeting off the GoPro.
Not sure about the full tint on the BMW helmets. Are they still made by schuberth?

Thanks for that,
notice that the Vario screen from this seller are for year 2013
presume that means 2013 onwards I have a 2016 GSA
I've got one on a GSA, physically it's smaller than the stock GSA screen, but airflow wise it's much better

Yes it does. This is what makes the big difference for me. Spend some time trying the different angles. I also bought a bracket to stop any movement when at speed.

I hope the OP won't mind be asking for folk's advice around a related item, which is a low shield / deflector for the GS. My situation is that I don't get much head buffeting to speak of but do get quite a bit of buffering at the lower sides of the chest region. Wunderlich sell a lower wind guard piece, though it's a very pretty penny

Has anybody tried this or anything like it and, if so, how well did it work for you?
Also, can anybody tell me how much of a match wunderlich smoked grey is to the oem tint (which I have)?
Thanks.

Glad it's worked for you too
For any GSA rider, it's also the cheapest/easiest option, whilst maintaining an original BMW screen.
Hi guys
which X-creen did you get? there seem to be two different one, The touring version and the smaller sports version. Also how dark is the smoked tint
Thanks

Here is the tall MRA screen with the x-screen addition. (slight tint)
I can now ride at 50 with my visor up.
It wobbles a little behind trucks but it can still be moved and lowered if needed in hot weather.
So far I'm liking it over the original.

@w-w,
The trick isn't to make the screen as long as possible but to make a channel between to two to spread out and dilute the buffeting
Play around with it in a few positions and see how you get on. I point mine away from the main screen and it works flawlessly.

Top man, you are absolutely right, I've adjusted mine like yours and its even better.
Oddly my fuel consumption has dropped!

Just to add: I have used the standard GS screen, the (Givi copy) GSA screen, the complete MRA X-creen and finally the GSA screen with the touring x-creen spoiler. The last combination is by far the best for me. I have the screen set pretty much as low as it will go with the spoiler set low and more upright than the screen. I have the Cymarc brackets too which stiffen it all up - it still moves about but I imagine it would be very floppy without them.
