I have a scout with the sport (short) windscreen. Great quality, fit and finish. It creates a nice sized air pocket and almost zero buffeting.

"Scout" windsheild, by Parabellum is very nice product and looks very good on the bike. But for touring I would look at Aeroflow touring screen too.

This my bike with the Parabellum Scout. I love it and have done a bit of long distance riding with it.

I'll say! :wink:

Why is the assumption anything other than a barn door fairing is not acceptable for touring? People used to say my old RS looked good but wasn't a "touring" bike! Multiple trips of several thousand miles seemed to disprove that!

On topic, the Scout gets high marks from most who use it and the adjustable height choices look like you can get the 'bubble' you need for your height.

And it looks good! 8) I'd get one in a heartbeat if money was no object!

Edited to add - nice looking ride Paul!
