My X500 has the standard "sporty" windscreen. Does anyone know if the standard clear windscreen from 2-ish years ago will bolt on?
I want something a little taller, but not as tall as the Givi.

How much taller is the original windscreen compared to the R?
-
4-5 inches taller and 1-2 inches wider on both sides. Will try to get mesurements later.

Hopefully I can get up the nerve to install it Saturday.

Just install the mounting hardware loosely until you get it in position. Then tighten it all down evenly. easy job.

Well... everyone was right, the standard clear windshield will bolt right up on the 500ri...
-IF- you have the tools, the goo, and know what you're doing. I don't. I ended up with a stripped bolt. One of the 4 the holds the windshield. So, I have 3 of those and the 4 that go through the trim holding the windshield on. Hopefully, it will hold will I drive it up to the shop for them to tell me what I have to buy to fix everything. IF they'll be able to look at the bike.
On a brighter note (yes, there is one)... it does look good on the scoot. Really good.

Just back from an 80-ish round trip to the dealer. They fixed my mistakes... no charge... Woo Hoo...
Ya gotta love those guys at Super Scooterstore of America.

Do you know where I can get get the mounting hardware/carrier rack ?
-
Try scootertrap.com installed a givi bracket and givi top case
-
I like the standard windscreen I got, but it is slightly bowed out on the bottom right, which makes the snap-in black plastic frame separate. The guys are going to take a look at what is wrong when I get my top case installed.
