at a recent trackday, I found it to be easier to tuck to as compared to the stock configuration. I would tuck until my helmet touched the screen.

No, it's a different one. Just like the DP screen, but made of carbon fiber....

I had mine fitted on pre-delivery, I think it's helping get some bulk/pressure off the chest - did some higher speeds on a nice ride yesterday and needed just a small amount of lean to counter the head wind, so I think it's worth it... That MagicalRacing screen looks a little "pointy" for me, an original type in CF would look nice!!

Yeah, I agree on MR one too, but it does look trick. I didn't like the color of the clear/frosed DP screen. This CF replica of the DP screen is sweet. I'll post PIC's when I get it. Should be next weekend.

See I like the MR carbon fiber one because of the pointy-ness, but that could just be personal preference. I think it goes better with the lines of the bike. But I will still probably get the DP screen because a screen that isn't see through just seems like a bad idea with a full tuck going on. Once again a personal thing.
