Screen reinforced

Mileage: ?


The combined height of the Skidmarx tall screen and the Touratech extender thingy is considerably taller than the stock Tiger screen was, and the cheapo plastic of the cockpit was flexing quite a bit at speed due to the extra air pressure created.  Also, it was squeaking like a bastard and really annoying me.  So I knocked up a couple of aluminium struts and spliced them in to reinforce the cockpit area and therefore screen.  They mount conveniently onto the screws that hold the instrument warning cluster in place.  Squeaking stopped and the screen flexes a lot less now.  As an unexpected bonus, I *think* there is slightly less buffeting as speed now too, although I could be imagining this.
