Zitat von Squirrel im Beitrag #30 I have the same windscreen and screwed in the lower position. Perfect - I love the fresh air in the helmet (C3)

I bought a Givi screen from user Stebecs99 (thanks!) last week, as I've found the stock screen to be lacking. I have no experience with any other screens on the RS, but so far am finding this one absolutely brilliant. Much 'calmer' ride; I'm finding I'm having to recalibrate my internal speedo at higher speeds, as I now find myself going much faster than I think! Have yet to try it out in either bad weather or a really hot day, which will be the acid test

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #32 I've now had 4 different screens: the OEM, an MRA-Vario, the Givi Touring, and a V-Stream touring. OEM: Complete pants, hence the search for a better screen. MRA: Looks great, but not as quiet as I was hoping. I've kept this for hot-weather use. V-Stream: Huge, great for motorway miles, but not enough airflow to keep you cool when it's hot (proved and tested in Corsica in September). Also, it means you can't fit the GuardConcept camera mount because of the "bubble" shape of the screen. Givi: Great protection in bad weather, and with the screen on the lower setting, plenty of airflow to keep you cool. (And the camera mount fits.) So, +1 for the Givi  Cheers Paul B. |

I have HeliBar risers and found the stock screen very noisy. |

Zitat von KR1S im Beitrag #35Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #33 Hi Chris, I'll give it my best shot tomorrow, but it will be a "best guesstimate" as I don't own a Vernier caliper thingymajig… Cheers Paul B. |

Zitat von KR1S im Beitrag #35Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #33 Right Chris, Popped into my garage this morning before heading off to work. My best estimate would be 4mm. Couldn't use a ruler/tape measure as all the edges are rounded, which makes measuring a pain. Might be worth shooting an email to Givi UK for confirmation? Regardless of thickness, the material is rigid enough for the screen to be "solid" even at autobahn speeds Cheers Paul B. |

I use the X screen tour with the blade almost vertical and with main screen on high it is quiet on M'ways, where I look through the X screen. On the twisties push the main screen to low position as the top of the x screen would otherwise keep crossing my line of sight. In this position noise is OK. I am 5'6'', low seat and have 30mm up/30mm back risers. |

Ive had little interest in an after market screen as Ive always (in the 12 months Ive had the bike) got on really well with the standard screen (in the lowest position), but of late Im getting problems with my ears and noticing wind noise more.

Zitat von Bonzo im Beitrag #40 I'm 6'4", sports seat (actually a Wunderlich, but same height as the OEM sports seat it replaced) and have bar risers. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Givi, or maybe even the Puig (I believe they're similar height screens). I'm off to the Lofoten Islands (north Norway) in a few weeks, and know it's the right screen for the job. Cheers Paul B. |

Having just been on tour with my new Givi screen, my feedback is that I definitely like the reduced noise and buffeting, but it's less than ideal in rainy weather... I find that I get the same amount of rain on my visor (maybe even more? not sure) but the bigger issue is that i can no longer clear it at highish speed by turning my head side to side as I used to, as the airflow is so much less. The screen itself becomes essentially opaque in rain, so your view is then restricted to what you can see over the top. KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |

Decided to get a taller windscreen to reduce the noise while riding my 2020 R1250RS, I did some homework which I share for those considering to do the same. |
