I have been thinking about a screen for a while but wouldn't even know where to start looking as the Haynes seems to be a funny size.

Buy some goggles. I have some that look like oakleys but have foam on the inside. Got the on eBay for about a tenner. Much nicer than with a helmet on.

Any idea what to search for. I've tried 4 pairs of oakleys but none are any good.
something like this?

The GBS Zero wide body (I think it is the "GT") has slightly the same dimensions as a Haynes. I have a flyscreen from GBS on my car, and it perfectly fits my Equinox scuttle. I'm pretty sure the windscreen kit should fit too (you might need to trim the glass to fit your scuttle though). The kits are available from Kitspares, and of course they are not cheap :)
