X10 Givi screen

[rintintin]

Just got round to fitting the Givi screen on the X10 (never was happy with the standard screen). It's so much better at keeping the wind and weather off me. though I did have to cut approx 45mm off the top so I could just see over the top in the rain, without it affecting wind protection. Well worth the effort.
some before and after pics.... (or possibly after and before!!)

I usually don't like extra large screens but this one matches the x10 perfectly.

yes it looks NOT overpowering, cant see the diff, must be my old eyes, i thought of one on the nexus, but when i lower the settings to low, for motorway driving it seems to be fine, still get a bit of wind but keeps me fresh and do little motorways, which is a pity hope in a few years when the last two kids are older, i might eventually get a few camping weekends in

givi screens do do a good job of deflecting wind in all but the heaviest of down pours if moving at speed, I've had a similar one on my burgman for 9 or so yrs as I got fed up with the crap standard burgman one, you certainly notice your fatigue levels are extended with the new'n on. Is there no support arm on yours? looks like it's just attached along the bottom edge?

Did you cut the 45mm off? I have one but was going to wait until winter to fit. If you did cut it down how easy is it?

I bet cutting it off is easy, but doing a good job of it is harder!! It does look good though.

Yes I did it myself. Took a leap of faith (and a beer) the first time (this is the third scooter i've cut a screen down in size). Started by making a card template of the top curve. then cut the template at the mid point and added an appropriate card 'spacer' (as the screen is a bit wider lower down, and I wanted to retain the same curve the screen originally had......if you see what I mean). Stuck masking tape on both sides of the screen generously covering the cutting line, which I drew (using the widened template) on both sides with a bold marker pen. Then (with a steady nerve) I proceeded to cut, first from one side of the screen, to the middle, and then the other side to the middle (which, if all goes to plan is a seamless join ). The first time someone helped by holding the top edge of the screen while I used a 12 inch hacksaw (with a thin blade). Wet 'n dry was used to smooth out any irregularities/misalignments (the longer you spend on this, the better it looks).
The second and third times, I did on my own (but I wasn't quite so scared). Also, because the radius on the corners were greater, I did extra cuts on the corners
(so four cuts all together) and smoothed out with the wet 'n dry.
Hope that makes sense . It was actually easier than I expected (I naturally thought I'd cock it up).
Why wait 'til winter.... the weather is shitty enough already .
Good luck if you do try it, but don't blame me.......

Yes, you're right, no support arms, but it's pretty sturdy and is fixed below the fairing with 3 bolts and 'double' rubber washers on either side.

Nice looking scoot and screen. Im 5'9" and I have bought the Givi screen for my Piaggio X8, my Honda PCX 125, and now for my Yamaha Majesty 400. Each time I have found the Givi to be better (quieter and more wind protection) than the standard screens.

How easy was it to fit? I 've just had a look and can't see any screws etc
