So.....spend another $7000 for a little more wind protection? I am not a financial wizard but that doesn't add up. However, I do agree that the CR is meant to be a bad ass cafe type bike, without a windscreen. Just can't help the urge to modify it to fit my needs like i have done to practically every bike I have had. Not to mention the fact the R and CR have completely different gearing which makes them different bikes.
I love my CR but I have done a couple longer rides that I would have liked to have a little extra protection... I think you should give it a try and let us know how it gos... Who cares what the nay-sayers say!
I promoted an MRA windscreen special on another website for a different bike. I had the opportunity to talk to a VP of MRA Germany during this period. Nice guy and cooperative. I don't know if they would venture into making some prototype shields, I guess I could ask him. Thats if I didn't delete all the emails from last year. They make an excellent product, not cheaply made by any means.
After installing the laminar and taking it on an 850 mile weekend jaunt I am extremely happy with the purchase and not looking for another screen. The lip fits the bill.
I am in two minds about this new model... I think the headlight and surround is an improvement on the 1125R's however overall its still an rather unattractive looking motorcycle mainly due to those two radiator shrouds hanging off the sides. That high tech powerful engine that the Buell community campaigned for will use lots of fuel and cost lots to service too..

I also agree, I love the CR looks, and wish I had gotten one of those over the R. I am not as big of a fan of them on the R, but that is why I got the fairing lowers to hide them...in a perfect world I would have both.
I too do not mind the lobster claw look. I was able to see the rear of my bike lined up against other sport bikes recently. I hadn't noticed how squat (lower to the ground the rear is). I think I wouldn't mind having the rear lifted a couple of inches. What do you guys think?
