Been wanting to replace the stock windscreen on the BMW K1600GT or K1600GTL with something shorter? For a sleeker, sexier look? Look no further than this offering from the good people at Cee Bailey's! Pirates Lair now offers their 18" K1600GT/GTL Sport Shield which is 2" shorter than stock and available in Clear or a Light Gray tint. Cee Bailey's replacement shields perform better than the originals and that's just the beginning. First, they lowered the center point and eliminated the geometric & hexagon shapes. They also filled in and tapered the sides for a more stylish look. In addition, they filled in the upper flat spots for better clarity and finally they straightened out the curved shape at the top for better optics. This angle change makes this shield stand about an inch taller than the originals of the equal length. Factory shield height for the GT is 20" tall & the GTL measures 24." Heights are measured from the bottom to top center and widths are measured at the widest point. Original width measures about 24" and all Cee Bailey's replacement shields are about the same (widths may vary slightly). Fits the 2011+ K1600GT & K1600GTL. For taller than stock shields for the BMW K1600GT or K1600GTL.. Click Here. |

| One 5' 11" K1600GT owner told us..."I had a chance to give the 18" Cee Bailey's Sport Shield a test ride and I am 100% satisfied with the improvement. I found the "ears" on the OEM screen distracting, with the new screen, I have a much nicer view of the road. It's also much quieter than the stock shield. I found that positioning it up about a third of the total travel gave me an ideal level of smooth, quiet air. With the shield all the way up, I am about where the stock shield stopped being effective for me. In other words, I never ran the old screen up the whole way as I got a lot of back pressure around it and no addition protection from the cold. My original thought was to put the stock unit back on for cold weather riding but I don't picture that happening now. One other benefit to the the Cee Baileys screen is the lack of flutter and flex. It is a bit thicker but quite a bit more rigid. I suspect that aids the overall airflow performance somewhat. Lastly, I think the damned thing just looks better!" |
