Motorcyclists are all different, and that includes the heights of each rider. And while most bikes now have a decent amount of adjustability, it’s not always possible to get everything perfect. Which is where the taller Skidmarx screen for the 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 and GT might be useful.
One advantage of higher screen is that you get more protection from the elements, which can be a benefit to taller riders, or if you’re regularly touring with a pillion. But probably the biggest impact can be if you find the standard version causes turbulence and noise when you’re riding. If the screen is at slightly the wrong height, you can find it extremely uncomfortable, especially over long distances. And it means a taller option can also be a big benefit for shorter riders.

The taller Skidmarx screen for the 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 and GT is constructed from 4mm acrylic, and uses the original fasteners and mounting points. So you can easily swap it for the standard version whenever you like, without it becoming a permanent modification. And it stands 63cm tall to give you that extra front profile.

Available in clear, light grey or dark grey, the Skidmarx screen for the 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 and Tracer 9 GT costs £99.95. And given that the bike is Europe’s largest selling sports tourer, it makes sense that you’re likely to be racking up the miles on it. So you’ll want comfort and protection from wind and rain, especially if you’ve still got miles to go before stopping for the day.
