I went with the clear Ermax screen, I was thinking about tinting / blacking out the bottom portion but so far I’m really happy how the clear “blends in” went for a test ride there was a decent wind out and felt there was a noticable change, the Screen makes a calm pocket of air about shoulder high, seems to create a smooth flow of air around the rider. And made riding into a head wind at highway speed a lot more comfortable.

Looks really nice! Have you tried it at night? I ride a lot at night in totally unlit conditions and my black Ermax scattered too much light and that's why I sprayed the inside matte black and did one other small mod. It's fine now. I'm agreeably pleased with the wind protection at open highway speeds too.

I don’t ride at night, too much large dumb wildlife around . If I ever get caught out at night I’ll stuff a tshirt in there to block the headlight reflections. I was considering using a “tint” spray product sold for darkening turnsignals etc to “smoke” the lower end of the screen, but I’m happy as is for now.

Interesting read here on windscreens....I just picked up an 890, trading in my 390 ADV and if you have one or are familiar with the notorious buffeting issues with it , as well as the 790/890 ADV, there are pages and pages of discussions looking to solve the front end wind mgnt issues.

Naturally I was glad to finally have clean air riding a naked but wanted to relive a little wind blast on the chest. I have a few wind deflectors and even a 890 ADV touring screen lying around so I jerry rigged a $15 amazon special his am and was pleasantly surprised by the effect.

I will run with it for now and clean up the attachment to be more secure but so far so good. Its very stable and deflects a good amount of air away from my chest. here are some pics.

Hey guys.
I followed this thread about windshield options and reviews. Finally, I decided to order the Ermax 32 cm (a bigger one, without a cutout at the top middle section) in light black color from speedmax.biz (Europe).
Installation was easy, the only thing that was a bit hard is to get the black screws into the rubber insert. I had to push at the bottom part of the rubber upward to reach the bolt the threaded part.
Other than that it was easy.
I did not test in long distances yet, but for short runs, it feels like the air is moved to the upper chest, and much more consistent, laminar. Not feeling that turbulent air anymore.
Here are some pictures:

I'd love to test the difference between your Ermax and mine. I have the gap in the middle and feel like it lets the wind cut to the chest easier than it would if it were filled in. I'm 6'4" though, so it probably wouldn't matter!

Hey
Monza_dh

where exactly did you bolt that ? behind the instrument cluster? did you make your own bolt? are you still using this amazon screen and if so how much does it take the wind noise out?

thanks

I got the Urbano Bruni windscreen at first. That screen actually create buffering and turbulent everywhere probably because of the flatness and small size of the screen. The bike was better without it.

So I took it off and then got the Materya dash cover. It was good at keeping bugs off the dash, but that was about it. My neck was getting sore at high speed runs, but at least it wasn't turbulent wind, just a lot of wind.

Wanted to get the Powerparts windscreen but they were on back order everyone. Was able to get a Ermax sport screen so gave that try. It was definitely better than both the Urbano Bruni or Materya options. However, I was still getting a bit of buffering at high speed on the helmet unless I do the full tuck in.

I just got the Powerparts one and installed it just now. Here are some side by side pics of before and after with the Ermax Sport Screen (on the left) vs KTM Powerparts windshield (on the right). I did my best to get it roughly at the same angle and distance. I Plasticdip sprayed the inside of the KTM Powerparts screen in black. There's still way too much snow where I live right now, so hopefully would be able to test out the Powerparts one by Apr.

This tread reminds me that my bike came with the KTM screen. Going to dust it off and remount it again as my new riding jacket almost takes in too much air and wants to drag me off the bike as I think there is too much front air intake vs. outtake in the back. I guess I can also close the front more.

It looks promising in that it is not too tall but is a gnat's wider than the KTM screen. In my experience you need the airflow to cut off around your upper chest, keeping your helmet fully in the airstream, otherwise you will suffer lots of noise and buffeting. This one looks like it might manage that. Unfortunately there's only one way to find out ....... 🤔

I just put this Puig screen on a week ago and so far it's making a good+ difference. I'd recommend it. . . .

I've got the stock KTM one but added an MRA vario spoiler on top for a recent tour.

Good enough for motorway cruising when needed and easy to remove once home again.

My highest priority for a windshield is good vision, and that means the top must be just below my eyes to blow bugs over my faceshield. The only one I know of that qualifies is the MRA CustomShield, and it needs significant modifications to work on my 790 Duke.

The CustomShield worked well with the leaned forward position of my CBR600RR. It was exactly the right height and the bottom edge cleared the windscreen of the bike, and the forward lean put my head close to the shield where there was minimal turbulence.

As I turned 70 I decided I no longer wanted to cope with the forward lean of the CBR and bought the Duke for a more comfortable seating position while retaining much of the excellent light weight handling of the CBR. However, there were two problems. The CustomShield set at maximum height was too low, and the limitations of the mounting system put it far enough away that even if I ducked down to look just over it I still got a fair bit of turbulence at my helmet.

I solved the first one by cutting the mounting rods in half and glueing them into stainless pipes with the right ID, giving me the six inch rise I needed. But this caused another problem: The extra leverage meant the plastic clamps that attach the rods to the handlebars couldn't be tightened enough to keep the windshield from blowing back (even with pool cue chalk under the clamps, although that helped a lot). I solved that by getting a second mounting kit and using the stock length rods attached to the handlebar near the controls to support the longer rods that attached between the mounts for the handlebar.

I worked on the turbulence problem by adding an MRA X-Creen (a clamp-on variable windshield spoiler blade). This helped a lot but was far from ideal. I got a cheap wider blade of similar design from Amazon and it solved the problem completely. Instead of discarding the X-Creen I mounted it upside down on the bottom of the windshield to partially fill the gap between the windshield and the instrument panel.

I'm sure the haters are going to complain that this looks really ugly, and I agree. However, I think the Duke is so ugly to start with that nothing I've done to it can make it look any worse. I'm one of those superior people who think function is far more important than appearance.
