Looks real good and by your description it is quite functional.
Quick question, by running the Rox Risers on your GEN1 did you have to replace the brake & clutch hoses/lines with longer ones?
It also appears you are running aftermarket handlebars?
Yes, the combination of Pro Taper Raptor bars and ROX risers required the longer lines. I bought those from Tabasco (Jaxon) in the vendors section.

Thanks.
One last question on the MRA spoiler, what is the measurement width wise of the fixtures that bolt/clamp to the top of the windscreen
meaning how wide does the top of the windscreen have to minimally be for the MRA to fit correctly/securely ?

Time for a new windscreen for my '13 S10. I currently have the OEM GEN1 standard height windscreen with a Madstad bracket.
I always wear a SHOEI X2 (with the peak visor) when riding my S10 and I am 6'2". Naturally I am looking for a smoother airflow at highway speeds.
I had the same problem, then I took off the peak visor. Problem solved.

I’m going to get the Touratech screen in black. It just looks so sexy. Looks a bit like a stealth bomber. You gotta enjoy looking at your bike too otherwise we’d all be riding MZs

I was not aware that Touratech made windscreens for S10s. I must admit those are very nice looking windscreens in both of the sizes offered.
I would imagine their function would be excellent as well.
Unfortunately on Touratech's US website it seems that only the small windscreen is available for GEN1s.

Trust me or not; I have both screens, Touratech M tinted and the Powerbronze Touring tinted
If you want to ride without turbulences, don't buy the Touratech.
I realize the Touratech is the most beautiful but is not a good screen to ride in the highway because, even the medium size one is shorter than the stock one.
Althought if you want the Touratech don't mind about the Gen of your bike. The screen is the same for both models GEN1 and Gen2.
Since 2014 The Touratech screen comes with the brackets to mount, However you don´t need the brackets for the GEN1.IMG_20200221_181943.jpgIMG_20200221_182020.jpgIMG_20200221_182013.jpg
In fact I could mount the GEN1 Powerbronze screen in my 2018 GEN2 because I have the brackets wich came with the Touratech screen.

Thanks for the heads up regarding the Touratech. Most likely I will be sticking to my original choice which is the Puig.

I have only 4-5 rides with my 2012, never really gave attention to the windscreen, I saw brackets and it is possible to adjust tilt level. It’s already better than my FJ was, but always a little something...
You guys made me realize I have the madstad bracket installed on my bike, and that I can adjust height aswell, I definitely will try different height and probably find better adjusment. I also got 2 screens with the bike, a Moose tinted (installed) and what I tought was oem but appears to be a Madstad clear 20inch (about 1 inch, 1 and a half longer than the Moose)
Pretty confident I will find a good set up with bracket and 2 windscreen without spending a dime!!

Get the MRA, much better quality. Or save yourself some money and take the peak off the helmet. You're not offroading so no worries about blocking roost.

I have a dumb question here. Will any shield fit the madstad bracket? I am currently running the madstat bracket and madstat screen.

Yes, madstad spacing is same as factory. I have a 22” madstad and swapped the smaller factory shield on for warmer weather/ more airflow.
