Hi all. :idea: Yesterday I put 6mm worth of spacers between the frame and screen supports on the top bolts only.
Well I must say it has made a huge difference to the height (pushed it forward at the top) of the screen. I already have the NTX screen on my standard stelvio but I'm tall and have Tinnitus so I need the quiet. It's not as good as the adv screen on my old 1200gs but close.
A cheap fix for the moment.
You can also put 4-5mm of spacers between the mount and the screen on the top bolts on the screen and it will further push the top forward.
Worth a try.
I just used plastic and fibre washers.
 
I also put spacers between the frame and mount. I put about 1/2 inch of fender washers on both bolts. It definitely made a difference. There is a lot more air flowing between the screen and fairing. So far the wind hitting my helmet is less intense and I no longer feel then need to buy an air foil or new windscreen. Well worth $5.00 and about an hour of work.
 
Hi, can one of you post a pic? I'm pretty sure I understand what you've done but it would be nice to see it. Thanks.

I followed the instructions for the canisterectomy to remove re fairing. took about an hour. I had been looking at the brackets and wondering why there was such a large opening, and why put a whole in your screen. So I thought more air under could be accomplished with spacers. I did get longer screws too.
 
Here is the left bracket and visible washers.

Thank you, I'm pleased I saw the pic now, I thought you had placed the washers in between the screen and the screen arm on the top mounting points to push the screen out.

Cheers
