I've had mine up to an indicated 135mph (on a closed track, of course) with no adverse buffeting from the Yam screen. Incidentally, the thing was still pulling like a train, I was running out of tarmac so couldn't carry on 
Power bronze screen fitted.....
Ok.......!
So I've just got in from a 95 mile Wednesday night lads ride-out.
Here's my initial findings of the powerbronze 270mm dark tinted screen.
When I had the Yamaha screen fitted I wud get buffeting under the helmet and the worlds supply of bugs hitting the visor at around 85-90 and although it wasn't anything of significance it was enough to make me think about getting a better screen, when I was "flat out" the buffeting was so bad my helmet was lifting up slightly off my head and it caused severe neck ache. Obviously if I tucked up it wasn't bad and was manageable but that's not the riding position we bought the bike for is it. It's a naked bike, if I wanted to ride around all tucked up I wud of kept my Gixxer.
So onto the new screen.....
Travelling at 85-90 sat up normally there was no buffeting at all and no bugs committing suicide.
110-120 was pretty much the same (still sat up normally)! Still no bugs.
Flat out there was a tiny bit of air pushing the helmet from side to side but nothing "out of the ordinary"!
With the Yamaha screen fitted I cudnt have the visor open whilst travelling at 30 without getting severe watery eye syndrome but with the powerbronze screen I managed to travel at 70 before I started to get watery eye syndrome and even then it was very minimal.
All in all this screen is absolutely perfect for wot I want/need to achieve whilst on the bike and my advice to anyone who is looking for a decent looking screen that stops the buffeting is to get this one. Powerbronze also do a taller screen which I'm assuming wud perform even better but IMO it looks like something off a DL1000 and is a bit too big for the MT but I guess that's down to personal preference.
Questions....comments....queries...?

Based on your review, it sound like a good fix for me while I'm still deciding on a new lid. Can Sam help?
