C Bailey's no longer making motorcycle windscreens, some suggestions?

I bought an Aeroflow Tall for my 2009 RT, but didn't care for it. I had too much turbulence from the curved lip on the top.
I wound up buying a tall screen made in Poland on eBay and am very happy with it. I like that they offer a variety of colors, even though I bought it in clear.

Can you post a link for that screen? I only get a little buffeting when in traffic at speed, the larger the vehicles in front the more buffeting. I can lean on the tank bag and get away from all of it if I want to but I have to look through the screen and I prefer now to.

From their website, it looks like Aeroflow has discontinued those; try contacting them directly at aeroflow@aeroflowscreens.com

These motorcycle parts are not factory original equipment, they are quality replacement parts that have been designed to meet or exceed the standards set by the original manufacturer. Where names, model numbers or original part numbers of the original manufacturer are used within the description...

Price is up $50 since I bought one last year, but I still recommend it. The brand name is Loster, and I am sure that the material is polycarbonate, as mine has no marks after a year and 4000 miles.

I mistakenly thought that plexiglass and polycarbonate were both types of acrylic. Anyway, it still looks new. I do use a plastic and acrylic cleaner.

I've decided to go with the National cycle Vstream for the next windscreen on the 11RT. I've had one on the 16RS for several years and prefer the polycarbonate to acrylic screens for a few reasons. That poly on my 16RS has barely any noticeable scratches on it in 4 years and nearly 30K miles.
I'd still prefer the C Bailey I have on the RT now. Too bad they don't make em anymore.

I'll go with National cycles screen on the 11RT simply because I want the poly and not acrylic shield and it's a great shield on the 16RS I've used for 4 seasons.
I have a Cee Bailey on the 99 1100RT and its a thicker and higher quality item than any other of the screens I have. I have Aeroflows on the 97 F650 and the 09 1200RT. I had to make a DIY support for the F650 screen which goes to the center of the steerer tube so to speak as the well nut attachment points are not robust enough especially on the freeway and on bumpy roads.
