Hey!!!

I bought an Eagle Screen extended touring model for my KLE and couldn't be happier with it. The service was terrific and the postage very quick. They are in WA.

Here are some pics of my bike with the screen:







If you are after a screen give them a call.

Hey Will, the screen looks great!
Two questions
1) how much did it cost? and
2) what tyre do you have on the back?
Cheers,
Aaron

Hello.

The screen was about Au$165.

The rear tyre in that picture is a Pirelli Scorpion MT90. I highly recommend that tyre. I bought a set 10.000Kms ago and they still have about 4-6000 Kms left. they stick very well in the wet and dry and I feel more confident leaning the bike (forget the chicken strips in that picture it is very old).

I have been off the bitumen once and the tyres were good enough as dual purpose tyres.

G'day,

Been reading through these p[ost's for a few days now and thought I'd post.

I have the same screen as munecito and I can highly recomend them. They look great and work a treat. Mine was on the bike when I bought it but when it comes time to replace it, it will definatley be an Eaglescreen.

I tried to post some pics but I couldn't get them smaller without ruining the quality.

Keater, I have an Eagle screen, same as Will's. I'm a bit shorter than you (5'10") and I still get the occasional bug in face but nothing like the original screen. Where I do notice the difference is at speed or in the rain, the screen will keep the wind or of your chest, you don't feel like a sail hanging onto the bars and it keeps the rain off your body. No regrets at all.
