Just installed my MRA Vario Screen and thought I would give an initial report for those that my be considering one. In the interest of full disclosure I'm 5'9" and 165 lbs. I used the standard mounting brackets and they are JUST long enough.
With the spoiler in the highest position it provides significant reduction in wind blast on the torso and shoulders up to about 70 mph. My helmet is in relatively clean air, very little buffeting. Wind noise is still fairly loud, I wear a Shoei RF 1100 with earplugs.
To summarize, the MRA Vario is significantly better than no screen, but for longer trips a little better protection will be required. I'm thinking the MRA VNB that is mentioned in another thread may be the answer, but that will require another $200 or so
