  1. I have been very happy with my MRA Vario screen. The adjustability is very convenient. On hot days when riding around town, its nice to be able to put the screen in its lowest position. At its highest, I do not get any buffeting. I am a bit shorter than you, so your result may vary...

    they aren't cheap but you said you wanted the perfect screen.

  2. I would put it back together and sell it off for a new Yamaha FJR. I have worked on the OEM side for years and agree with other posts that you are getting shafted here. Worst case Honda should have covered the replacement parts and you covered the labor. Their cost on the parts is very low, and if I were the customer it would make me a raving fan for life that they stood behind their product. After all this is their flagship bike supposedly. They didn't, and if I were in your position, I wouldn't buy another Honda ever.

  3. i went through a similar experience with my Thruxton. It took me almost a year and the local sheriff to stop by the engine tuner's house 3 times and threaten to lock him up if he didn't ship me my cylinder head back. Just a simple port and polish! The guy had duped many others besides me. Somehow I got lucky and the local sheriff took my complaint seriously-(stolen property, I had receipts to prove that they were sent to him).

    I have come to realize that for every good, ethical engine tuner out there, there are about 5 bad ones. The same goes for painters. From now on if I can't stop by and talk to the guy face to face myself, I won't be shipping my parts out to them.

    Fortunately I have not had that experience with suspension tuning. I have shipped shocks/ forks to specialits like Thermosman and at Ohlins and never even remotely had an issue.
