I got some 2nd hand from eBay for £200 if I remember correctly.

Now that my big ugly bike is performing just as I like it (with the Givi screen, Givi extension and puppy grips) I tend not to come round here so often any more. If I get the chance I will do some measuring and post the results with pictures.

I noticed a huge difference in noise with the Givi. I no longer get wind noise, I now get gearbox whine and engine noise Good earplugs are a must, you will be much less tired after a ride with plugs in.

All my troubles have been cured, my hurts healed, my buffities calmed. I expected the screen to be good; it is excellent. I now sit in a bubble of calm. The screen without the extension was almost tall enough for my big frame, the extension made it perfect. Visor open to 90mph, no issues. Turns out the bike is quite noisy now that I can hear it. Deliberately didn't wear plugs, was interesting to hear all the mechanicals. Anyway, more to come, for now share my happiness with me

How's the screen on highway... Would be great if u sitting on it with helmet on and provide I side photo... No idea! It was pouring down last night and 50mph winds today ie Scottish summertime! Once I get a better spell of weather I will take it out for a run and get some snaps. I might shift all this to a post of its own also, saves one massive thread on all things windscreen.

It is big, but at 6'7" so am I!

And lastly, the reason for the slightly blue glow. My LED lights running off a leisure battery with a solar panel and cut out switch

I like the sculpture around the hand guards:

Difference in mounting points:

Feckin ipad. Can someone please stick all this together: First impressions, very rigid, beautifully made - typical Givi quality. Took about 15 minutes or so to fit. The original screen would almost flex back on itself if pushed, this one tends to move the shoddy adjustable mounting bracket. Time will tell how it performs on the road!

Sorry, but I'm not willing to make an amazing looking bike ugly to accommodate this design flaw. There are solutions out there that don't look like I velcroed a flat piece of plexiglass onto my bike. To each their own. Well my friends, you will be able to tell me tonight if it looks ugly or not, parcel has been delivered!It will be a few days before a road test if the forecast is anything to go by!

Agreed... can't do the barn door look. I need something that looks like it was made for the bike, not a slab with the right holes drilled in it.Function over fashion for me, I don't really care what it looks like as long as it works.

To make my findings a little more objective (even more so than Bubba's balls), I have ordered a cheap anemometer to measure wind speed. The screen has made it to the UK already, so will be with me by Monday. The anemometer by Tuesday. The results... August?

I think it would support it fine Dave, ie it wouldn't break. I have a feeling part of the buffeting problem is from the flex in the screen, so this may remain if you simply extend the screen. Who knows! My screen should arrive on Friday, I will try lots of combos to find out the differences that are made.

Thanks Wessie, I will bear that in mind. Hopefully I will end up having several hundreds of pounds of screen under your bed before I can trade up for a GS Jordo27, legend is a little much. Maybe just totally awesome, brilliant at a push...

I went for the Givi for ease of transaction as it will be coming from the same place as the screen. From experience so far it's a bit trial and error. However, if I find myself in a nice calm cocoon then it will probably be overkill for yourself, as I stand a good 13" taller!

I have ordered the screen and the additional fairing for the screen. Will let you know when things arrive...

click the English flag icon at the top you numpty! emails are sent in a version of English as well Ah-ha, yes, welcome to the 20th century and all that...Feel free to keep the Union Flag, honestly, have it, it's yours :)Now excuse me while I go order!

I want that one! Another good day on the bike yesterday hampered by the noise and the wind blast. Happy to be the Givi-pig, not sure if it is available on that site that Wessie posted? My Italian is sketchy...

I fitted the same brackets on Friday, very neat and tidy. Two bolts on each side, a bit loctite, job done. Worked fine in use, done about 100 miles on Saturday with no issues. Will likely bend if dropped, so don't drop your bike

I have just done the same. Call me a typical Scot, but £75 for two bits of metal seems a little on the steep side!

I am still waiting for the hard bag mounts from YOC racing. They were due to be shipped from Yamaha on 1st of April, now 1st of May. Hope it's not indefinite. I am pretty sure I could have some fabricated in a day for a fraction of the price if needs be...

Just tried stock in top position, worked much better. Was a perfect night, came home with a big grin!
