where does one find a tall windscreen for a Road Comet 2. Samurider? I think that might help my situation a tad - redirect the wind/noise. Buffeting isnt an issue but the wind noise is . I like the look.

thanks

That is where I bought mine, but I don't think they are making them any more.

I have an RC2 on my '14, and at 5'10" I think I'm the perfect wrong height for this screen. The wind blast off the screen seems to hit me just below the helmet, at the perfect wrong place. Quite a noisy racket, even with a snug fitting Shoei GT Air. My ride is much quieter without the RC2, but the RC2 looks so cool that I leave it on Tongue.

Is your RC2 colour matched to the Spencer Blue?

I would love to see a picture of that if possible. I'm on the fence right now about a RC2.

Yep, Spencer Blue. Photo below is a couple years old, and since then a Staintune and gaiters have been added. Lighting in the pic below isn't great, I'll try to take a better one this weekend.

You should get the RC2, because some day you might not be able to for this bike.

That looks really good and that is a good point about future availability.

Thanks for the pic, you have put me one step closer to a RC2.

I was considering the Road Comet a while back, and emailed Mr. T at Samurider about the tall screen. His reply email said that the tall screen was discontinued, not made anymore, and did not think there was any left over stock anywhere.

I also have a spare tall screen because I have spider cracks around some of the screws and I wanted a backup in case they migrated through the plastic. At this time they haven't, but I really haven't been riding all that much.

I really like that backrest.

It works quite well, and is quite inexpensive, but it's not a simple bolt-on. The brackets require modification. Here's a thread on the topic:
