grogsym Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Tinted shorty looks good, I am trying to like the larger touring screen it just doesn't look right on the FJ.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.

basstodave Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Wow! Helmets really do make a difference. Even within a manufacturer's lineup. My Shoei RF1100 is much quieter, less turbulence on top, than my Shoei RF1000! WTF? I may buy the RF1200 just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Order66 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I do see the difference in different helmets (I have a collection), but they all buffet badly right around eye level. If I stand up, I get clean air and much less noise, regardless of the helmet. I love my bike, and resolving this issue will make me significantly happier. s e t h 2015 FJ-09 (The Me Bike) - CalSci, RAM, Shad, Givi, CrampBuster, Grip Puppies, GoPro, my custom Garage Door Opener Mod 2014 Valkyrie (The We Bike) - Too much to list, and no one on this forum cares anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are solutions out there that don't look like I velcroed a flat piece of plexiglass onto my bike.

Order66 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 There is a LOT of information and opinions about windscreens on this thread. Is there any way we can disseminate some of it? Maybe a poll at the top to see who has what? s e t h 2015 FJ-09 (The Me Bike) - CalSci, RAM, Shad, Givi, CrampBuster, Grip Puppies, GoPro, my custom Garage Door Opener Mod 2014 Valkyrie (The We Bike) - Too much to list, and no one on this forum cares anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grogsym Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
