1994 BMW R1100RS - Has anyone tried the MRA "V" Varioscreen?

[lukaspriest]

I'm looking to potentially up my game when it comes to my windscreen for my R1100RS. I'd like to get some additional protection from buffeting.

I stumbled into this one in particular, and I like the idea of it being a "2-part" windscreen, but I don't know if that has a significant impact or not.

MRA Varioscreen

I currently have the largest Parabellum windscreen available, the "+7inches" model. It is generously sized.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I wish I could get a National Cycle V-stream model, but they don't make one for this bike, sigh.

Not a lot of recent posts for the Oilhead, but this exact same question was asked 12 years ago:

Mra vario windshield for r1100rs

Anybody have feedback on the MRA Vario windshield for the r1100rs?

Oh, I feel foolish! Thank you for your reply, I'm gonna check this out!

One thing that helped find more info is that I searched "vario screen". I didn't find anything when the two words were combined. Something to consider with these types of searches.

I had an '04 1150RS for a while... With the stock windscreen, the wind out in the desert was pushing my bike all over the place, to the point of being scary.
Instead of "larger", maybe concentrate on "more aerodynamic" and "better airflow control", as in, the vortex around and behind the windshield.

Yeah, I just don't think one exists for the 1100RS, sadly.

I’ve installed a Lexan Wudo windshield on my ‘00 R1100RS twenty years and 100,000 miles ago and have never looked back.

I’ve made most of the mods to my bike for function, not form and the bike fits me. I’ve added Mayer (Rick) seats, bar backs, lowered foot pegs and Wilbers suspension. Lots of other mods but the key is making the bike fit you. I look just over my windshield. It gives me good protection and visibility.
