Had the original Zero windshield but it just was not blocking enough wind at highway speeds. It was always hitting my shoulders and middle of my helmet. This new MRA V-Flow VarioTouringScreen (style "VFVT") is perfect for me

How has it affected your range? More range or less range?
I got more range when I fitter the Zero commuter screen.

Looks great though!

Thanks for the props. For me my commute is 20 miles each way almost all highway. I usually cruise in the commuter lane at about 72-80mph. With the original commuter shield I would get home with around 55miles left and with this new shield Im getting either the same or a little better. I've seen it around 56-60miles left. Although weather could be a factor since its getting a little warmer here in California. I have the 2014 SR with extra Tank

How tall are you?  I'm 6'3 and looking at this as well, but I'm super confused by their dimensions.  The mra site says its 450mm (17.7").  Is that just the screen itself, or does it include the extra height from the spoiler?

Which mounts did you get with it?  I wonder of the Zero mount would fit.

I'm disappointed with the commuter screen. ... the thing changes a quiet, smooth, and pure ride to a ride full of pounding turbulence that gives me a headache and makes my ears ring after the ride.
While before you have an even spread of wind and weather all over your torso, the windscreen just pushes the wind, now faster and with more turbulence, onto your head, shoulders, under the helmet at the neckline, hands, and arms.

I'm with you on the buffeting. I've ridden well over a quarter million miles on primarily sport bikes, and I much prefer the smooth, even, steady & direct airflow over almost any faired bike, even larger touring bikes that come standard with a large windshield, presumably tested in wind-tunnels by guys with more research funds and resources than Mr. K & Mr. N have at their disposal.
That said, I've ordered the commuter screen for my dog and hope to angle it down low enough to protect her without sticking me behind the chaotic maelstrom behind the shield.

I have the AF 49 GIVI Airflow, happy with it, no turbulence and 10% more range.

Finally mounted the commuter screen on my 2018 SR and the front brake master cylinder reservoir severely limits the positioning of the screen. I had to move it about 2 inches farther forward, so that the screen does not sit neatly atop the headlight to get it to lay down at a steeper angle than a garage door.
We'll see how it works for my dog. I can abide a dorky-looking windshield if it means my dog gets to work safely.

I had no problem with the installation of Zero's "Touring" screen when mounted on my 2018 S.
