Looks decent.. also stumbled across these when I was looking at the one you posted.

I'm currently waiting for this screen to be delivered in opaque Black for $23.88 to utilize as my summer screen.  I may cut it down per a template I downloaded from the forum and then modified (I've made a couple of test samples from too thin of acrylic to really be safe).  The Givi even with the spoiler down is too effective in temps much over 80 degrees and I almost suffocate and get faint!

It looked like it was already a shorty screen..

Looks pretty good for $70.  I would be interested to hear opinions on buffeting/wind noise if anyone tries one of these.

Nice looking screen but not really similar to the Givi (which I have) and the Givi has its own mounting bracket, spacers and hardware, and more importantly is taller (I still installed an MRW Touring Xtsceen drill mount on top of it).  BTW, the Givi scratches easy.
 
You are referring to this GIVI, correct?

Yes.  The Givi D2122 is what I was referring to.  I have a Kappa D2122 on my bike, and I used the OEM mounting bracket.  IIRC, Kappa is part of Givi.

i have that givi screen. pretty fantastic for wind and noise. i use it on any long trip regardless of time of year. I'm pretty lazy and it's a half hour chore to switch screens so it stays on most off the time.
 
totally picking up that double bubble for summer. I have gambled more than that on one hand of black jack  ::)

2and3cylinders, which GIVI screen do you have the D2122s or this 2122DT as shown on GIVI's site?

GIVI 2122DT, I like it but as I think I said, it scratches too easily, and as I have a ape-like length torso and XXXL head, I added the MRA X-creen touring bolt-on to the top, and I still get just a bit of buffeting and more than a fair amount of noise above 60 mph.

BTW, when installing a X-creen, do mot stretch the stick on drill template as it will bring at least one set of holes too close to the edge of the screen!
