Please help - Larger Windscreen?

[Nireen999]

I took the bike out on the highway with very similar winds and the bike is so much better! Pleased Thanks everyone for  your kind support ♥

Good to hear it suits you well. I ordered mine but with the knowledge that thee Dremmel Tool and cutting wheels may be getting some work. That is fine as I love he handle bar coverage but I knew it was too tall.

Glad it's working out for you Nireen...

I have had the Givi on my DT for around a month and put about 1000 miles on the bike with it. I am about 5'10" ish and the windshield is still a bit short in my opinion. I look barely over it most of the time and sometimes through it. That is annoying, I wish it was taller or shorter. I said it is still too short because I still get some buffeting of wind around my helmet, but it is much much better than stock.

I did lose a 2-3 Mph I would say, but not enough to care. I like the windshield overall.


On my People 300 with the Puig I don't even need to wear a helmet if I don't want...all buffeting around head is gone. But that's a horse of another color.

No I am in PEI Canada and it tends to be windier here than most places.  This year is worse than it usually is.

  I am 5' 7" so It is perfect.  Only thing yesterday it started to rain and that is a problem! LOL Can't see well.

i also either look over or through it and I have gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me one way or another. I just like the wind protection it gives me.

Ive had the Givi wind shield for 4 years, and love it ,  I raised the seat 4 inches and mover the butt stop back 4 or 5 inches ,and my head is above the windshield ,  I cut the dome in the seat off flat, to make room for my butt, the foam I used is 10 Lb. rebond foam 4 inch thick1 inch slant back where I sit, 
  wish I knew how to send pictures ,  too old

Would love to see that friend!  Good on you for making it work.  I am OK to look through it except for when it rains!! Not so good.  I have much more comfort and control of the bike now I find.  Yes I lost a wee bit of speed but nothing to bother me at all. Can only go so fast on the highway anyway without getting a ticket

My suggestion for when it rains is to use Rain-X.

[Nireen999]

Oh great!  Will look for some of that today.  Can you buy this in local stores like our Canadian Tire store?

[TANWare]

fairly popular brand in the USA, my guess is it should be there as well.

[Nireen999]

Yes, just checked out local store and they have it Thank YOU

I have seen rainex in Walmart ,  giant tiger ,  Canadian tire,  princess auto,  here in Ottawa,  was going over the bridge windy on your trip to N.B.

[Nireen999]

Ha Ha it can be!  sometimes they won't let you cross on certain windy days.

[mnpugdog]

DO NOT use rainX it can make the plastic haze. It is designed for glass not plastic. What you want instead is Raincoat. It is designed for plastic and works great. I use it on both my Givi and on my visor.

[Mr. Paul]

mnpugdog is right. Check with manufacturer to see if Rain-X is OK. I like the windshield, particularly the extra hand protection. You will really appreciate that when the weather turns cooler.
