    Taller windscreens are known to cause turbulence and side winds. i think i will stick to the normal windscreen, as i have heard these complaints from many people now...

    I too have bought the Givi screen and experienced the same problems. IMO Givi have just rushed something onto the market without testing it properly.

    Shame really, so its back to the original screen and an e-mail to Givi!

    I have the Honda screen.....one word sums it up for me ....EXCELLENT. I am only 5'6" if that has anything to do with it. It also come with two small rubber type deflectors that attach to the front bodywork. Hope this helps.

    1.68cm. I ordered it when the bike was new. I had a test ride on one with normal screen but this is better. Hope this helps.
