Wow,, that looks like I will have a new shield coming.
I may have asked this before, but what is your height and inseam? And do you look over the screen or thru it?
Is the company small enough to do custom work?
Thanks

They did his without the handlebar cutouts by his request.japako said:
I was wondering, was that because the mount pushes it out far enough, or does he have risers that bring the bars back enough...
Charly at Parabellum is the real deal. This guy lives and breaths wind management for motorcycles. Is he small enough to do custom work? I say he'll do whatever you want but I trusted his experience when it came down to the design for the S10 and I have to say he hit it spot on. Charly also guarantees his screens! When I walked into his shop to pickup my bike with the prototype on it I didn't know why to expect. My initial comment was"Wow it looks great" and it does, the craftsmanship and quality is superb. Charly's comment back to me was " I don't care if it looks good I just want it to work for you". It is almost to the point of working to well for the hot Georgia summer. The key to this screen is the width and the little winglets on the bottom. Great screen with great results.
Jim I'm 6'1" with a 32" inseams. I have the 20" screen and I look over it.japako said:
Thanks everyone.. Like I said, I have a Calsi and it is not doing the job. I had Mark move the bolt holes up 2.5 inches because I have Greg's (Wasp) shield bracket. So I am trying to figure out the correct size now.
With the bolt holes moved up, the Calsi was a good fit at the front of the bike, which is what I want, but it needs to be a wider shield.
I'll talk with Charley on Monday.

Just ordered mine. They recommended 24", I'm 6'1" but they didn't ask about my 34" inseam. Tall is ok, this will be my winter shield on wasp bracket.
Y'all are just to tall. Can't ya just find some shrink pills? >

I need a bigger screen and that may be the one. If he does some custom work on the screen, I wonder if he can put in one of those Gold Wing vents, it's nice to have some air coming in on hot days.
I bought a goldwing vent to install on stock screen. Did not fit, wrong curvature.
I just ordered the large screen in clear. I have the large Cal-Sci screen and I'm 95% satisfied with the wind protection it provides, but I just don't like the way it looks on the bike, so I decided to drop another $200 for the Parabellum. For those of you that are already using this screen, have you found that an adjustable mount makes much difference, or is it fine on the stock Yamaha perch? Also curious if anyone has tried the tinted screen yet. The lady I talked too at Parabellum said that it's realtively dark, so I decided not to go with tinted. I was hoping they'd have a very lightly tinted/smoke type tint, but they don't seem to have that available yet.
That doesn't look too dark. Can she see through it, or just over it?
Hmmmmm....now you've got me wondering if I should call Parabellum and change my order to the tinted screen. It would probably look really good with my Raven S10.
