Pros and cons as regards switch from full screen, other than the obvious less weather protection, please.

Toying with the idea of changing over but never been in a 7 with aero or Brooklands previously. Just wonder what it is like to live with longer term as I can't be doing with changing them around every five minutes. Mainly a dry day driver but all year round. Aero style is probably out as I have clams and that suits the Brooklands better in terms of styling IMO.

I've been 'Brooklands' for years, and years, and years...
Only ever go back to a screen when I really, really have to - when about to do a 100 miles on a wet/snowy day, when I really need to arrive dry.

I think that last time that happened was about 5 years ago!

And I use the 7 all year round, for just about everything!



Love'it!!!!

Thread reincarnation...

For those of you who use Brookalnds... How do you achieve your desired screen angle?

Testing...

HA!! Thanks!!! I deserved that one, I know...

I meant what should I feel... or not feel when trying.

Yeah, your look for the point at which there is minimal buffeting, and a more 'linear' air-flow.
The angle I have seems to be optimal for my seating position.

Brooklands are greeeeaaaaatt,
Even the missus loves 'em.
Give them a try, just remember to keep your gob shut whilst driving

Does a single Brooklands screen need some sort of aluminium "bar" on the scuttle, or can it be bolted directly through?

Where to get Brooklands? And what kind of fixings will be needed?

Eugene will comment... but the benefit of mounting on them on a bracket rather than direct to the scuttle is the ease of interchanging with the windbreak.

The Aero to 'screen swap takes ~5 minutes (including having a cup of tea)

The 7 scuttle is not really strong enough for a direct mount...
Best to use the mounting bar to prevent the scuttle from deforming.

Ask Donut...

Will this work?

Do I get points for effort?

Defo points for effort!
Just think they may be a bit high, and the angle to too steep?
You'll know by the amount of buffeting you feel...

Eugene

Thanks.

If it doesn't work I can always rivet the holes and use the metal aeroscreen as before while I wait for the proper Brooklands.

Ok... do Brooklands completely eliminate any kind of buffeting? At over 90kph it becomes a dab too much on the ears but, not on the face.

It is also worse on LHS than on the RHS, maybe it has to do with the rear view mirrors I'm using?!

I think that, if I can get some guarantees that Brooklands reduce or eliminate buffeting completely, I will get them and bolt them directly to the scuttle and use some aluminium pieces on the Brooklands "ears" to fit some old fashioned bullet rear view mirrors.

Thoughts please...
