basstodave Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Has anyone used the Givi EH2122 Handguards and will they contact the original and Madstad screens in full lock? They bolt up to the OEM handguard frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhs10 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Very similar to the PUIG handguards, but less than half the price!! '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerfreak Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I have them and they do(barely) make contact with my Madstad but not my Parabellum screen, I haven't had a chance to check them out as of yet as it is still winter here and my bike is disassembled for maintenance and upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you hazard a guess as to how much more protection they might provide? Are they significantly wider, top to bottom? The stock are unevenly adjusted on my bike, one side assembly lower than the other side and offer little wind deflection anyway. Thanks for letting me know they don't interfere with the Madstad in any appreciable way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 1moreroad Posted March 20, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 20, 2017 http://fj-09.org/thread/220/fj-today?page=158 Installed them last month. They are about 2" taller than stock (extend ~ 1" higher and lower than the old ones) and they wrap around the sides a little more. I've been out of town, so I only have about 20 miles with them and it was on a nice day. I *think* there is a little less wind on the hands and maybe a little less wind noise at the helmet. No contact with the stock screen. Given the weather, I'll probably take them off entirely in another month or so for the summer. Easy install.

I will likely get a pair for next winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 1moreroad Posted March 23, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 23, 2017 They're a little big, but they match the lines of the bike. Rode more this week. There is still air back to about the cuff of the jacket. I think these will help in the winter combined with heavy winter gloves with a gauntlet.

basstodave Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I ordered a pair and they do NOT WORK Whatsoever with a Madstad and the two screens I have for it. I can't really even use the fork lock and I think they will interfere with slow speed u turns and maneuvers if I leave them on with the Madstad. Like get you killed interfere. Made to work with hourglass shaped screens only, I believe. Like OEM and Givi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my post. They suck with a 20" Madstad screen and an MRA screen on a Madstad bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have the Parebellum mounted but when I did have the Madstad on it was a 22" Madstad screen on there bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
