Tenere 700: YAMOTC (Aliexpress) V3 Large Universal Motorcycle Windshield Extension Adjustable Spoiler Clamp-On Windscreen Deflector

YAMOTC (Aliexpress) V3 Large Universal Motorcycle Windshield Extension 
Adjustable Spoiler Clamp-On Windscreen Deflector

My original adjustable spoiler & MRA Xcreen bolt-on hardware got damaged during a tip over in the garage so replaced it with a $41 Canadian Aliexpress sourced AMOTC V3 large clip-on style adjustable deflector. The V3 model use an upgraded mounting bracket with addtional clamp bolt for improved grip & high definition material for reduced distortion.  


The adjustable mount differs from the dual articulating MRA Xcreen hardware (see 2 pics below), whereby, it slides up & down for height adjustment maintaining uniform distance from the main windscreen & pivots on an integrated geared mount for angle adjustment. 

Nit Pic:  I discovered one nit pic with the upgraded mounting bracket 2nd mounting bolt located near the top of 2 plastic mounting pieces that form the clamp to attach to the main windscreen.  The original design top bolt that incorporates a circular metal nut/pivot near the top of the 2 plastic pieces comprising the clamp does not tighten the clamp uniformly, but more at the bottom.  The newly added 2nd clamp bolt located closer to the top of the brackets, but below the housing that the clamp arms fit into, allows adjustment of clamp pressure to the upper portion of the clamp for a more secure friction mount, but pulls the bottom of the clamp arms away from contact with the main windscreen overwelming the rubber bumper's glue forcing them to slide down beyond the clamp arms & push the clamps up slightly on the main windscreen, if over tightened.  My solution was to wrap heavy duty black duct tap around each clamp arm securing the rubber inserts in place & adding another layer of protective material between the clamps & the main windscreen & to just snug tight the 2nd clamp bolt.


MRA Xcreen Dual Articulating Adjstable Mounting Hardware

The MRA height adjustment utilizes a pivoting arm with articulating joints at each end that moves in an arc creating variable distances from the main windscreen depending on height position, but provides a greater range of overall adjustment allowing the spoiler to be lowered below the top of the main windscreen.


Dense Foam Insert Modification for Stabilization

I added some dense foam with 2 sides stick tape to 2 of the surfaces to allow for height adjustment & stabilize the spoiler from bounce. The high definition material is reflective & can be distracting during riding on rough surfaces. 




Ride Review

The YAMOTC spoiler provides improved wind, buffetting & noise management vs without & a slightly wider area of coverage vs my previous set up that utilized a cut off portion of the Skidmarx windscreen as the spoiler moonted with MRA Xcreen hardware
