Stu K Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi...anyone using and if so how do you like vs. others and oem? Thinking of the medium 25" as I am not a major long distance rider. Link to comment
Tri750 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 i had the stock tall, the Cee Bailey Sport and tall, then got the Z Technik standard on my 1100RT. gave the rest away . When the tall ZT came out, tried that for two weeks, then traded back . i'm 6' 4" with tall torso , stubby legs. Link to comment
Stu K Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 another one of theses 'tough" decisions without having the ability to try out several. I'm 6.0 with a 33.5 inseam Link to comment
Paul De Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Liked my Cee Bailey on my '99 RT and it is interesting to read that Z Technik was notably better. I'll be upgrading my windshield before next year as well and was leaning toward the quiet ride based on info read here, but would rule out a Z Technik. Crap! Now more rumination will have to be done.

Tri750 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 As far as i know , ZT still has a "satisfaction" return policy where you buy the thing, try it , and send back if you don't like it. if you don't like , you're out return postage . pretty safe bet. many large dealerships stock the popular ZT screens where you can buy and try in town . at this point , don't expect them to have an R1100RT screen in stock, but newer bikes, very likely . The tall 1100RT screen was great but i didn't care for its angle when in full down. it seemed too close to my beak. Link to comment
realshelby Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Height of the screen, which is going to matter a lot, is hard to recommend. A 25" V Stream is a lot taller than the stock 24" for instance as it is more straight from the mounting point compared to stock. So it sits taller in the parked position. The V Stream is one of two aftermarket screens that are made of polycarbonate. National Cycle makes the V STream, they also make the OEM windshields for BMW ( your Wethead RT screen has the National Cycle logo on it ). Comparing what worked on an 1100-1150 has no bearing on what works on another bike. Edited September 8, 2017 by realshelby Link to comment
Stu K Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 lol, exactly my dilemma ! Link to comment
Stu K Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'll have to look into that....thxs! Link to comment
Stu K Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 thanks for the info....thats why I was wondering as there are many alternatives, and wanted to get some perspective on the ZTecch as i most definitely like looking over rather than through the screen. Big difference coming off a cruiser both in terms of helmet and turbulence...still trying to figure my comfort zone. Link to comment
