Grabbed a photo at work with a coworker's Yamaha Raider. Motorcycles get premium parking spots. It's raining now and for the next 2 days, so I'm taking the opportunity to wash all of my textile jackets. They were getting pretty grimy. Hello! What screen is that?

It crumbles after a wash and hang dry. Don't ask me how I know this.......🤪 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quietest windscreen I've found when in the high position. Requires an extra bracket. See the pix. 1 hour ago, tktplz said: Make sure you pull the CE Armor from the jacket.

To maximize airflow, I swapped the bar ends for FZ09 ones. It will be 90 all week and I'll be commuting. Also adjusted brakes and replaced a chain... on other 2 wheelers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that touring screen feel at 90+ degrees? do you have a summer sport screen? ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep it high because of the lack of buffeting and relative quiet. Once temps push past 90 (and they're supposed to all next week) lots of wind doesn't really help me - it just feels like a hair dryer. I still get some airflow coming under and around the screen. But it's hot. Maybe I'll pull the whole screen off next week and see what it feels like. I've only ridden screen less in the Fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched back to my intermediate screen from my GV tour with the spoiler on top when we had our first 90 degree day. But today I wish I had it today, by the Lake Michigan it was 58° outwest it got up to maybe 66 and I was wearing my Revit without the liner and even put my grips on. But the Givi is unbearable in hot weather, I almost pass out when it's consistently hot I put my opaque black bikini screen Got my usual order at Adrian's Frozen Custard in Burlington Wisconsin, a Coke float and two Johnsonville hot dogs but they've gone up in price it used to be five bucks now it's $5.72 Oy Veh! Turned over 39,000 today Not terrible for 4 years but sadly no long tours, 90% cheesehead land day trips 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. I run a small flyscreen in summer as well for maximium airflow. It's glorious. 1 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels?
