X-creen Tour saved my Blue Ridge

[vondalyn]

works great!

I had a bunch of Revzilla bucks saved up so I ordered the x-creen tour with the clamp kit from them. I got the x-creen on Thursday but they sent the clamp kit separately and I didn't get it til yesterday afternoon. I installed it with the single hinge setup and tried it out today with my half helmet. Before today I couldn't ride comfortably with my half helmet because of the wind buffeting across the front of my ears. At first the way I had it adjusted made no difference, but I was able to adjust the angle at a stoplight, and after that the wind buffet was kind of behind my head. In other words I could still hear some wind noise, but it wasn't in front of or across my ears so I didn't feel like I had to have ear plugs in and I could hear Don on the bluetooth communications without having to strain.

I'm also happy to report that I am still able to look over the windshield/x-creen (I hate looking through windshields) and I didn't get hit by any bugs or road debris which has been a problem with the half helmet and the F3. Got hit by a rock last time out that made my cheek bleed -- that's not cool.

It looks better than the pics. Like it came from BRP. Like I said earlier IT WORKS!

Big favor to ask... Would you be so kind as to measure from the top center of the handle bar mount to the top of the X-creen? I am 6"5" tall but I am all arms and legs and would like to compare to the F4 windshield as far and height goes. I have the Blue Ridge and my body is protected, but my head is getting beat up, I wear a 3/4 helmet. I get heavy wind noise and it feels like someone is tickling my noise with a feather at 50 and above. Thanks!

I just got one the height is great. I'm 6'1" and think it would work great for you. Also looks so much better than the big windshields that look like a police baracade!

I have the same set up as in the stebrok pictures. It looks good and works well for me 5 11.
I like the fact it takes 1 minute to adjust.
The slight curve at the top of the BRP screen is not a problem as the rubber in the clamp takes up the difference.
I am going try it at the highest setting and see how works for my passenger. Happy wife happy life.
I will be able to just see over it from about 50 feet out (full up). I can see out to 20 feet 2/3 rds up. as in photos

I measured from the bottom of the instrument cluster to the top of the x-creen since that's a straight line, and it was 18.5" -- remember I've got the single hinge setup, so I can't raise it as much, but I'm only 5'7" so I don't need to.

I am liking this idea quite a bit! (Anyone here, although small chance, have a sport model mounted to their
Blueridge?)

I had the sport on first then switched to the tour

ONE2DOO..... Did the Sport make a difference at all, and was the Tour that much better?

Same success here. Purchased the X-creen Tour and very happy with it. Best thing is you can adjust to how you like it.

I have the sport on my blueridge. Does the trick for me and looks like it belongs there.

16" from the BRP logo to the top of the X-creen Tour using the double hinge method.

The sport helped the tour is the fix.
