Received the Puig 7617W touring screen today, installed it and went for a ride. I mounted it in bottom holes as it is about 4" taller than the stock screen. I initially had it in the higher position and did notice a marked improvement in air not hitting my helmet. Bad thing is the height results in me looking through the screen a lot of the time (I'm 5'8") . I put it in the lower position and it gives about the same protection as the stock screen in the high position and I'm able to look over the screen. One thing I noted with the Puig screen in either position is that there is more airflow over my hands than with the stock screen. Overall it seems to be an improvement especially when it gets a little colder and I want more wind protection and I still can move it to the lower position when I need to. |

I had a similar experience with the Givi touring screen. It does a great job of keeping the wind off of your body and helmet. Unfortunately, it also prevents the wind from drying out any fogging on the inside of my face shield and glasses during the winter when the temperature is cold and everything tends to fog up. When that happens I have to push the screen down, which lets the air hit my face and clear up the fogging.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #2 ? I never stop to raise my screen. Set cruise control and use both hands to pull the screen up especially at speed. Slower and it can be done with one hand. The new 1250 has the same functionality.

Zitat von Grumpy Goat im Beitrag #3Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #2 I have tried lifting the screen with both hands while my bike is on cruise control, but I really didn't feel comfortable doing that. The RS is pretty stable, but my fear factor which is based upon many years of riding 1960's to 1980's motorcycles, is not. I have tried lifting the screen using one hand but I am just not strong enough to do that.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #4 I understand. It is safer to stop and raise it, of course.
