Racing Screen Aprilia RSV4 RF1000/RR1000 15-19
: Racing Screen Aprilia RSV4 RF1000/RR1000 15-19: Automotive
I installed this yesterday and it was not really what I was hoping for. For starters their website lists this as being compatible with my bike (2016 Triumph Street Twin), but the stock handlebars are the wrong size for the mounts, in the meantime I've added some spacers in the form of rubber with sticky backing and some cardboard strips.
Neither telescopic rod tightens, the locking nuts are screwed on as far as they will go but the rods just slide with fairly minimal effort. I have them set as short as they will go for now and the mounts set straight out from the windscreen to give me the most distance from the bars. Really lame.
A minor point, but I don't think the screen is quite symmetrical, it's close, but looking at it from above while holding it the apex isn't in the center, and everything looks a little off. You flex it around when installing enough that it probably doesn't matter.
It looks pretty sharp for a screen and it was cheap and while annoying to install it's on. Unfortunately the windscreen actually makes riding worse for me. It keeps air off of my chest and about half of my full face helmet, and now the air that hits my helmet is so loud I can't hear my bike or much of anything but wind. Even through ear plugs the wind is loud, it's ridiculous.
This works really well for my bike. Most windshield mounts require the removal of the headlight cowl, but this one doesn’t and looks like it actually goes with it.
Amazon says it doesn’t fit my model, but will fit any 1” bars. The mount initially feels like it’s too small and will not fit over bars without using a c-clamp. Once you finally get it on and tightened, it fits perfect.
I’m very impressed with fit and quality!
Arrived a week early so that's a huge plus in my book. Very easy to install on my 05 Shadow Spirit 1100. The instructions were quite clear and you're provided with the only tools you need. My only complaint is that the locking pieces to hold the telescoping tubes don't tighten very well by hand. There's still a tiny bit of play which can cause them to slightly adjust at high speeds and with decent bumps. I'll try using an adjustable wrench to crank them down a bit tighter and see if that helps. Otherwise it's great, relatively small but if you set it up right it'll block the majority of wind buffeting which can be a literal headache if you wear a half helmet. It's a nice in between of a full windshield and a mini deflector. So far I'm very pleased.
Have this installed on a 2017 Sportster, went well enough with some finagling but wish I had done a little more research and found the U-clamp mount but only found that after the fact.
For the install I ended up with, there isn't to much area where this mount will work on the regular handle bars, you also will likely need to loosen the throttle and front brake in order to get the clamp behind the cabling. Once the clamp is in place everything else fits back nicely.
I am 5'6" and this easily covers my torso, currently have it set right above the headlight and it keeps most of the wind off me at 60mph. I wanted to get to 70+ but didn't have a chance, I do however suspect this will make me feel much more comfortable with no buffering or push back caused by the highway speeds in Texas.
What a great windscreen.
It is easy to adjust up, down, in, and out.
It blocks 75 percent of the wind and makes riding much more enjoyable.
It also looks like it was factory made for my 2013 Triumph America.

Specification
Designed and manufactured in Barcelona, with the most advanced technologies, with high impact acrylic of 3 mm
The Z-Racing screens are designed to be more aerodynamically efficient than their stock ones, they are fully tested in the virtual wind tunnel to guarantee improvements in the aerodynamic coefficient (Cx) and the aerodynamic protection to the rider and the height deflects the wind that would otherwise hit the helmet and top area of the torso; in the meantime, the side channels pick up air flow and send it sideways with the objective of reducing air pressure from the riders shoulders
It comes up with a very strong piece, light, durable and with a rounded edge of 2 mm (accomplishing the safety control from the German TV); the artificial vision system utilized during the quality control process guarantee that the screens will get to the client in ideal shape
Installation of the screen doesnt require additional parts like trims and every screen comes with an in depth aerodynamic study that indicates the improvement in performance as well as the protection to the rider

You just cannot find a substitute for quality. National has it. I will buy another to fit another bike. A bargain at the price. Thank you National.
I did find the collet joint a bit undersized. I used a small quantity of teflon tape to force the collet tighter and it worked well.
According to amazon website "This fits your 2015 Suzuki S40 Boulevard". Does not fit. Wasting customers time and money with bad info. I have to pay shipping cost to send it back. BS Amazon..cancelling prime.
my install wasn't perfect scratched head light
Easy install, wish cheap plastic parts were replaced with quality aluminum parts, but for the price is good.
