I have the big Wunderlich Touring screen on mine. It is very well made with sturdy fixings and the angle can be adjusted but I don`t rate it. If all your riding is done below 75mph it would be fine but the buffeting at high speed is a PITA.
I may try an MRA Varioscreen as I have had excellent results with them on other bikes.

This is a subject where everyone has a different opinion. Including me. My previous screen was an MRA Vario. I'm now happier with the little sport screen.

The only way to buy quiet is to go for an RT or an RS (from personal bike loan experience). But the looks of a naked bike appeal most.

I had the BMW fly screen on my R1150R. Replaced it with the MRA Vario Touring screening with the adjustable lip on it. Much happier now. Removes the chest blast and allows adjustment for wind in the face or over the head. Relatively inexpensive. Twisted Throttle has them. Delivers anywhere fast!

I love my MRA adjustable screen and I have no buffeting issues with the screen up. Low setting is like no screen and that's where I keep it all summer. Mine is a little scratched now, but the Gecko came though with flying colors. Image

I am not sure how to post an image. I copied the link to the image from my craigslist ad. If this is not OK let me know and I will delete it. I am not sure if it will even show up.

Do you guys know if this screen is compatible with the Rockster?

I'm currently eying the 'BMW Standard' on ebay but I haven't read 'nice' things about it.

Yep! I too have an MRA screen, a VNTB. I like the adjustability of the air flow.
