I had the GIVI and while it was better than a stock screen, IMO it is not as good as my Calsci +7 windscreen.

Givi screen ride report
I have a few thousand miles with the Givi tall screen on my 07 Tiger... I am 5'9" and live in Northern California... I am NOT impressed! the wind noise is terrible, and the buffeting around my head when traveling at freeway speeds is unbearable. This was money wasted. I am really disappointed in Triumph for making such a poor windsrceen on such an otherwise fine bike. The only viable solution (and I hate to admit it!) is to cut down the stock screen. I know how ridiculous this may seem, but... it's what works. Just my 2 cents worth...

Naked bikes ROOL!!
Well, maybe semi-naked.

The stock screen was too noisy, the Triumph Touring screen I bought on Ebay was no improvement. Reading all of the post about money spent and less than stellar results led me to go the cut down route.

fantanico,
That scren looks great and well made, who is the supplier in Italy? US$100 plus shipping may just be doable to Oz (shipping to here is notoriously expensive).

Thanks
Russ
