FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this windscreen?

The primary benefit is the significant reduction of wind turbulence around the rider's shoulders and helmet, leading to a more comfortable and less fatiguing ride, especially at higher speeds.

Is this windscreen compatible with my BMW R 1150 GS?

This windscreen is specifically designed for the BMW R 1150 GS models manufactured between 1999 and 2004. Please confirm your motorcycle's model year before purchasing.

What material is the windscreen made from?

The windscreen is made from high-quality PMMA plexiglass, known for its durability and optical clarity.

Does the windscreen come with mounting hardware?

Product contents can vary. Please check the specific product listing or packaging to confirm if mounting hardware is included. Some installations may require specific brackets or use existing mounting points.

How do I clean the windscreen?

Clean using a soft, damp microfiber cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can scratch the plexiglass.

Will the smoke tint affect my vision?

The smoke tint is designed to reduce glare during the day. While generally offering good visibility, riders should exercise caution in very low light or nighttime conditions, as it may reduce contrast and perceived brightness.

Can this windscreen be used on other motorcycle models?

No, this windscreen is specifically designed and tested for the BMW R 1150 GS 1999-2004 models and is not intended or guaranteed to fit other motorcycles.

Troubleshooting

Windscreen appears loose after installation.

Double-check that all mounting bolts and screws are securely tightened. Ensure any rubber grommets or washers are correctly seated. If the issue persists, verify that you are using the correct mounting hardware for your specific model.

Reduced visibility through the smoke tint in low light conditions.

For nighttime riding or very low light, consider using a clear windscreen or be extra cautious. Ensure your headlights and auxiliary lights are functioning correctly. The smoke tint is intended for daytime and moderate light conditions.

Wind turbulence is still present after installation.

Ensure the windscreen is mounted at the correct angle and height as per installation instructions. Minor adjustments may be needed to optimize airflow. Check for any gaps or misalignments between the screen and the fairing.

Scratches or hazing on the windscreen surface.

Clean the windscreen using only soft microfiber cloths and mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid using paper towels or harsh chemicals. If scratches are minor, a plastic polish specifically designed for acrylics might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This WRS windscreen is designed exclusively for the BMW R 1150 GS models produced between 1999 and 2004. Ensure your motorcycle model and year match precisely before installation. It is recommended to verify mounting point compatibility with your specific bike, as aftermarket parts can sometimes require minor adjustments or specific brackets.

Setup:

Installation typically involves removing the original windscreen (if present) and mounting the new WRS windscreen using the bike's existing mounting points or a dedicated WRS mounting kit (check product details for inclusion). It is advisable to consult your motorcycle's service manual or seek professional installation if you are unfamiliar with the process. Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the plexiglass or mounting points.

Care:

To maintain the clarity and longevity of your windscreen:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels, or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the PMMA plexiglass.
  2. Washing: For stubborn grime, use a mild soap solution mixed with water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
  3. Protection: Avoid exposing the windscreen to excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight when not in use, as this can degrade the material over time.
