Givi screen

[alp231]

Have any of you used a givi screen on a 650 Burgman i find the stock screen ok but the pillion gets buffeting

My son in law has the 650 Burgman and fitted the Givi screen, he says it's a big improvement over the stock screen. I had a Givi screen (not the Airflow) on my Silverwing and went back to the original screen. He doesn't carry a pillion rider though.

I had one and know many others that use them, unless you're under 5' 9" (ish) they're effectively required-fit. Wider as well as taller, helps hands, body and any helmet buffeting you may have.

Just be mindful there's two types, one for Standard and one for Exec model, you won't be disappointed.

I bought one for my Executive. Worked fine but there was such a vacuum behind the screen that I was being sucked towards the screen at speeds in excess of 55mph. Cured it by fitting a rifle air balance vent and its fine now. http://rifle.com/Air-Balance-Windshield ... 4C541.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I can now ride with my visor up and I get no wind in my face. In fact, if I still smoked, I reckon I could smoke a fag at 70mph and I wouldn't even lose the ash off the end of it!

Did you have a topbox fitted?

I had a non-Exec and scren height is slightly different and never had the vacuum effect, but I did when I had the Givi on an AN400, which was only apparent if I used the topbox.

[Steve_D]

Yes, I do have a top box but I bought that long after I bought and modified the screen. I'm 5'11" and I could just see over the screen when I first bought it and considered cutting it down slightly but that changed when I had a gel insert professionally fitted to my seat and that seemed to raise me up slightly. I can now comfortably see over it. About the only time I raise the screen is on a hot day to let some cool air blow over my hands. I really suffered with the heat and lack of breeze last year, even at motorway speeds, on a trip to the South of France - I've bought a mesh jacket and gloves for this years trip!

I have both standard and Exec Givi screens on my shed wall, both cut down by 2inches if any good.
