Hi folks...got my ST1100...it has stock shield on it which is a bit too noisy and windy ti my liking...do you recommend taller shield or Laminar lip? Welcome your opinions.
Shield replacement or add on?

Cheap Amazon clip on lip windshield extensions work fine. And are a must do add on for lots of windshields.
If you like, lots more $$ can be spent for about the same results.

There's also an adjustable windshield made by Madstad that some folks have been really happy with.
I have Clearviews in all of my ST1100s and have been very pleased with them.
It sort of boils down to how much do you want to spend and how quiet you want it to be.

Thank you, Dean
For my st1300 I got a Puig windscreen. Similar to original. A bit taller, and a bit more wind displacement to the sides near hands/arms. Perhaps Puig makes one for the st1100 as well...??

Thanks Uncle Phil....I've had Madstads on some other bikes...they're good, but too costly for me right now.

I have the Tall Laminar lip combo, originally thought the Cafe combo would work but it caused windshear right at my neck.
The Tall one is good but I think the right Helmet has a lot to do with noise reduction. Helmets are very specific to the users head shape.

I bought my 2000 ST1100 in 2020. It has the "National Cycle" windshield on it. It is an affordable option.
They are just a bit taller than the original one. Still a bit too short for me (I'm 6 foot and 1 inch).
Few days ago, as my birthday is coming soon, I ordered a Clearview Shield, whit the Pressure Relief Vents.
I ordered the tall one.
I know they are a bit expensive, but... my wife says I deserved a threat.

I understand - they build a base for the ST1100 and the windshield actually moves up and down manually so you can set it just right to suite you.

I have a 21" clearview which punches a large hole in the wind and is very nice. That being said I found the large windscreen adversly affected the handling of the bike in windy conditions and made it actually unconfortable in sidewinds and on the highway. I replaced it with a stock like Givi with the lamar lip and couldn't be happier. Now I am 5'9" tall and like a bit of wind in my face as well. As has been said personal preference. If your interested in a Clearview with the pressure vents let me know happy to move it along.

Just a note (that's common sense) - Larger, wider windshields do affect gas mileage a little bit.
Before got mine I read that thought yeah right your right very nosey at 60 mph.
What a rachet .spoils the ride.
Have u got link so get right one is it st 1100
Or generic motorcycle shield add on
I have this on mine (stock screen). Be advised that it’s not real good optically. Seems to work ok. Jury is still out.

Many who have a Guzzi swear by the extensions. There are several manufacturers with prices ranging all over the place. Givi and Puig seem to be the favorites, and some swear by the low priced generic ones. Make sure it will fit your current screen and it may work for you.

MRA makes really nice adjustable add-on spoilers. You can set the angle and amount of flow-through (flow-under, actually) to suit.
I got this one. Works fine.

I also have a MRA that bolts thru your windshield rather than clamping on. Lots more $$ though but a lot nicer.
The one linked above by Mr Computek looks interesting in that it is adjustable up and down. Not sure how well its' clamps would work.
Yes ordered that one .have no what I was doing .did wonder how well clamp idea
Works out .still noise was really annoying.
Thanks my friend thanks ever body.
I have tried numerous screens on my pan due to noise and the wind pulling you forward due to back pressure with the screen fully extended. In the end I extended the gap at the bottom of the screen by one inch using a coping saw, half round file and wet and dry.. this seemed to allow more air up behind the screen thus reducing the noise a little and removing the pressure on my back completely
i use custom made ear plugs that are really comfortable and cut the wind noise but allow you to still hear what’s going on around you.. well worth the £80 for fitment and postage.
For me the MadStad is so much better than anything else I've used on the ST1100 that it's worth the extra money. It's the only one I've used that I can keep below eye level and not get buffeting. The screen that came with mine is also a lot wider than stock so it does not look as streamlined as stock but works much better.
