Is this what your looking for? More pics in my album.

Givi's US warehouse is by my house. I can check with them & get direct phone number for you. The will sell to individuals. I just dropped by & tried out screens until I found what looked the best

Yep ... thats great dardoonk!! So you went for the 605A ... does that the air up and over your head/helmet or just off your chest? And does it use the universal 2-point h/bar mounts?

Erwin: No ... I haven't called to price yet. Have you done any measurements to check the riser spacing? I think i'll take some measurements and call to discuss with them. If this was like $200ish, it would be a great on/off option. Much more than that and I'll go GIVI 605a or A600 at about $105!

Cheers.

It depends on what angle I put it at. I prefer a little more laid back look.
1- I think it's a bit sportier that way.
2- I knocks the wind off my chest and still takes most off my face.

When I stand it more upright, the air is definitely directed over my helmet, but I get a lot of buffetting as the deflected air feels like it wants to expand right where the top of my head is. Seems to strike right on top of the helmet and at 75 is so rough I can't even focus.

Problem solved when you lay the screen back some. I ride visor up quite often and have no problem the with the position you see in the pic.

Screen mounts solidly using only two handle bar mounts. It says it is 7/8" mount, but mine is actually a 1" mount with included spacers for the smaller bar.
Mount is a bit tricky to tighten and keep the screen dead center because it moves a bit when the bolts are torqued. Once you have it, your done & never have to adjust. You can remove it by removing the bolt at the handle bar clamp. The bolts near the screen don't need to come loose.

I'd bet the Sportech woudln't work with our speedometer hanging out front.

I have the Triumph roadster screen and it works well. In these warm summer months, I'd like to be able to pop it on/off quickly. I can remove it in about 5 minutes with a wrench/socket, but have to leave the bottom mounts in place, looking a little odd.

Memphis Shades makes a traditional screen that pops off quickly, but I never like the fork mount clamp system. Guess I can't have my cake and eat it too.
