gwader Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Without the OEM, the wind hit me pretty hard in the chest,but clean air at the helmet was great. After a heating and bending over test. I ended up just cutting off the top about 3 inches. Then added new holes to test if the wind was off my chest. Then under the mount plate I added 5/8 spacers with longer screws on the front two . This helped to curve down the wind forces. At 65-70 mph the turbulence is minimal. Then at 75-85 it gets amplified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpuddin Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I like it! looks good too. Is this picture with the windscreen in the lowest position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwader Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yes. Some time in the near future I'll paint the back side black, or make aluminum cover plate to hide the holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suncoaster Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I too have fixed the stock screen by cutting and re-positioning. I cut 5cm at the centre and more on the sides, in a curve. The screen has also been re-drilled to fit on the Givi 2122DT mount and painted black on the rear. Gone are the vortex inducing horns of the original. No buffeting and noise is much reduced. Now I have clear laminar air flow to the helmet and neck, with the bottom of the flow hitting me in the chest. I am 180cm and have the seat on high, with a sheepskin. Here it is at the Toy Run today, quite warm (33C), so the airflow was appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 ....today, quite warm (33C).... Totally unfair post :'( But I would post the same if I could annoy northern hemisphere types too.

adjuster Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 lol enjoy your summer. Nice screen mods. I'm going to cut down my stocker to fit the GIVI mount and larger screen that I like much better than stock, but it's too much in the summer. (More air flow would be nice on hot days.)

They're always giving me grief about Winter up here in "the tundra". I tell 'em to get back to me in August... I don't miss Maine winters. Were you there in 77? Oh hell, that was a Blizzard. I was in high school in semi-rural upstate New York, with the lake effect snow for that one. When I went out to shovel the drive way, the snow was above my head - where do you throw it? It took a few days and the county v-plow to break the drift across the bottom of our road. Aaaaah, the good ol days. One reason I'm in SoCal now.

Nope, I was in Japan in '77. Way the heck up on the North end of Hokkaido, right across the Sea of Japan from Siberia. Those folks DO winter! First got stationed in Maine in '73, got married, re-enlisted, left for Japan in '76, didn't get back here until '88. WAS here for the Ice Storm of '98 tho. Lotsa fun.

nicksta43 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I really want to do this when it's time to switch back to my summer setup come spring time. I'm not sure I want to cut up the stock screen so I'll likely get one if those cheap eBay double bubbles. I wish I could see Suncoasters pictures to see how he approached it.

suncoaster Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Here's a few, sorry, no closeups. The screen is on the Givi mount, not the standard mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
