hey lanwanman. what is the modle no. on that givi screen you have on your bonnie? does it help much with wind deflection? thanks for the info.

Not Lanwanman, but I recently installed a Givi A600 screen on my T100 and like it so far. I did a 200 mile ride this Sat and the screen provided good wind protection. It keeps the wind blast off the chest but there is a little bit of helmet buffeting due to the wind. The install was very easy / quick. I purchased from Az motorsports.

Another vote for the A600, had the same buffeting problem but a little clear fuel line around the edge took care of that

kwik, can you describe the fuel line mod a bit further? How did you secure the line? Any specific size for the fuel line?

oldbob -

It's a Givi A750 and it's off the bike. Looks nice but creates, for me at any rate, unacceptable buffeting of the helmet. I suspect that it's a combination of my height and the lower Norman Hyde M bars on my bike. Not that I'm exceptionally tall at just a tick under 6 feet but the combo just works out wrong for me.

The buffeting is bad enough and in that frequency realm that bangs the helmet enough to jiggle ol' Mark I Eyeball in the socket to create blurred vision.

It's for sale for 60.00+ shipping if anyone wants it. It was on the bike for about 250 miles.

I'm expecting a National Cycle screen sometime this week.

hey i appreciate all the input. i just thought it looked good on the bonnie but i am old school anyway so maybe i'll just leave it bare. i don't travel far on it anyway. just like to get out and goose it around. thanks guys. :hammer:

Sure, 5/16 ID fuel line is what I used (found some clear at my local auto parts store) some similar sized surgical tubing if you cant find that.
You have to carefully cut it down the length trying to keep your cut straight. fit it over the bead on the screen with a drop of clear silicone every few inches and at the ends and presto done. not very fancy but it works for me. It took a few tries to get the pitch of the screen right but over all good results no more scrambled brains. Also I bought 6 feet so I could have some to pratice with, that cut is kinda hard to make.
