Does anyone have a review of this Givi windscreen?
Thanks,

Mine is 2129BFBM - not sure if it’s rhe same screen or not but if so, I really like it. Fits the lines of the bike well, very good for me on the highway (6’, Bell RS-1, earplugs). Smooth and pretty quiet air.

falcodave,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I think that is the same except dark (black) color? How does it work at highway speeds (70 - 80 mph)? I saw a few write ups on Givi screens that flexed quite a bit at speed.
Cheers,
MrHix

For me it’s great at 80, which is about where I stay if riding highway. I have the dark smoke screen, no noticeable flex.

I have the same screen. Best fit & finish of the 3 I've had. Not problems at 100+.

I’ve had for almost 2 years now, while it’s definitely an upgrade over having no screen, I do get blasted by wind still at the top helmet level. Above 70 mph is a bit of a pain in the ass, but then again I remember when I had no screen and that sucked...

I have yet to ride my new bike on the highway, but I don't think I want a screen at 80. Much prefer wind in my face and body than freaking turbulence. I've had screens all my life. It's awesome to ride without a screen. I'm positive the little windscreen makes a difference than a fully naked bike, which is just about perfect for me. The bike is also highly high-strung, with a whopping 5K rpm at just 70 mph, so no real incentive to cruise much higher than that anyway. We'll see. I'm not planning to travel on the bike, so it should be fine. The only negative is if it rains, or you want to ride in cold weather, which I don't. Hope to take it for its first mountain ride later in the week, and increase its current odometer reading of 28  . |
