Default Larger Windscreen

Has anyone mounted/used a larger windscreen for this bike?

I was thinking about a Givi, but I really did not want to experiment with something close to $150.

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you think adding a taller screen would create "dirty air" (aka turbulence) on the bike if the seating postion is a little more upright with bar risers?

I haven't seen any with a larger windscreen either.
Might be kind of nice for longer trips though . . .

I changed mine out when I bought the bike, but I just went with a dark tint, same size.

I had never heard of ZGOutlet, but I just sent them a quick note inquiring about their screens.

Thanks for the suggestion.

OK, if you want to try a Givi screen then look here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1

it ends pretty soon though.

I bought the zgo screen and it looks pretty nice. I got the tpuring series. Fitment is similar to the OEM. Only complaints are that the grommets have to be moved from the original shield to the new one. It is a PITA. Also, the lower part of the screen isn't blacked out like the OEM and the Givi screen. If you get light smoke or darker, it shouldn't be an issue. If I look hard, I can see the back of the gauge cluster through mine.

I REALLY like this screen. The taller aspect of it greatly improves tha airflow over the helmet. It makes it MUCH quieter.
