Please check the year of manufacture again. Based on experience, the registration date issometimes mixed up with the year of manufacture. If the year of manufacture is correct, itcould possibly be that you have a grey-market import.
Clean the screen with water and a sponge, never wipe it dry. Small scuffs and grimy surfacescan be polished up again with lacquer polish.Alcohol, petrol, solvents and brake fluid could corrode the screen or even destroy it.
With some screen shapes, the so-called “Burning glass effect” can occur. Here the sun raysare concentrated and can melt the instruments. This effect results not from sun light striking the screen but when the sunlight hits the screenfrom behind (driver side). This is thereby also possible with completely opaque (black) screens. MRA screens are modified through CAD simulation in such a way that, in effect, a burningglass effect which could lead to the melting of the armatures can never happen again.

The pattern is printed in black in the bottom part just like the original screen provided by themanufacturer. This print progresses across the actual screen colour in a series of points whichbecome fainter (pattern). This print is to cover the instruments/cables behind the screen onthe one hand and on the other hand it is necessary for technical production reasons. Company can FAQ only produce shields without screen prints in particular cases – the printing of screens whichwere not designed to be screen-printed is not possible.
Select your screen and desired colour in our shop, then a field will appear underneath whichspecifies whether the screen has a general operating license. If this is not the case, we caninclude it in the next endorsement depending on your model.As a matter of principle, all screens are manufactured from the same material andthrough the same production processes. The material testing for general operating licensescreens is thereby also valid for screens without a general operating license.This makes registration with TÜV/DEKRA (technical inspection organisations) considerablyeasier.
You can actually more or less see through all the screens. The exception being black (shadow-line): this colour is absolutely opaque.
The dimensions often don’t tell us anything about the effect of the screen.See FAQ “Which factors have abearing on wind protection?” and “Turbulence – Is the screentoo high or too low?”. The screens are often differently shaped or even have adjustablespoilers. In this case the wind acts differently with screens of the same length!
Background: A vacuum occurs behind the screen. When the air flow at the end of the screen meets the vacuum, the air swirls. The larger the screen, the larger the vacuum and the larger the resulting turbulence. There is normally no problem for larger drivers because the turbulence is not around the helmet area. Smaller drivers are therefore better off behind a lower screen. It is a common misunderstanding that the windscreen should force the wind over the driver. This is only possible in seldom cases (e.g. Goldwing). It is ideal for the air to flow lightly off the helmet.
If turbulence occurs then the screen is generally, as described above, too high. To determine the ideal length, one can do the following: During the journey, edge slowly upwards until the turbulence is gone. The distance upwards is to be divided by two. The result is the amount by which the screen must be shortened.
Example: If during the journey, the driver edges up and after 10cm the turbulence clearly subsides, then the screen should be shortened by 5cm.
The size of the driver’s body and the seating position play a crucial roll but so do the helmetand even the clothing. The Spoiler screen usually achieves better wind protection for smallerdrivers without disruptive turbulence occurring.Larger drivers get better wind protection with the Touring Screen. Based on experience,screens which are too high are often selected. See FAQ “Turbulence”.
The Spoiler screen matches the Original but has a small break-away edge at the back end.The Touring screen has the same form as the Original but has an added upwardly titled winddeflector across the width of the back end. This way the wind pressure is deflected from theupper body and makes relaxed driving possible, even on long journeys. With some modelswhich have steeply inclined shields, the wind deflector is only designed as an extension and isnot tilted upwards to avoid turbulence.The Sport Screen “SP” is a shorter version of the Original screen and gives themotorbike/scooter a modern, sporty look.The Racing screen was developed for racing and is used by many racing teams. The Racingscreen matches the Original screen in the bottom part but has a dome-like raise in themiddle. This way the helmet is freed from air pressure and the aerodynamics improved.
