Large Windscreen

[orangelion03]

I am considering one of these Givi screens to put on my S2R for multi-day trips.

Has anyone else used these or similar?

I'd rather have a neck-ache.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen one with a large Givi.

For a screen they actually look great, although I'm not sure the look is very "Monster" - more scooter?

If you don't mind the on/off hassle, go ahead. The protection with the largest one must be substantial

You might want to consider a Dart screen, pretty damn effective for it's size, or a Zero Gravity:

A750 or 755 would look better.
(but i would do the ZG ST screen in the stock fairing too)

[orangelion03]

My plan is to probably go with the ZG ST screen to start and see how it feels (though based on placing my hand above the lip of the stock screen, I will likley get more buffeting at the helmet).  I agree that the A750/755 look good, but they arent much better than the stock IMHO.

Then again, if I wanted comfort I should have bought the DL650 that I originally wanted

Just found this from National Cycle.



Easy to paint the area around the headlight to match the rest of the bike and I think it would look pretty good.  At $100, it would be perfect for installing only for longer trips.  Looks like it could use a few extra braces though.  That's what I have a sheet metal and machine shop for =)

MRA out of Germany makes three different styles for the monster and in various colors.
Twisted throttle ordered mine. I HAD TO HAVE the mid height one because it .... was what I wanted I guess! Seriously though it is slightly taller by about 1.5", has a slight flip to it that help rediret the air up and over you. I find that it is plenty comfortable at any sane speeds, say 80-85 mph. At that speed I' get just a light buffeting and even my big lanky 6"2" selve is not getting blown off the bike. At 70-75 it's perfect and at 90-95 I need to start crouching down.

I think it looks better than the stocker also. It is teamed up with poorducriders supports of course.
here's some photos of it

Here is a pict of the ZG ST screen in a stock fairing that I had on my monster.



MUCH better wind protection than the stock screen, for me.  I'm 5'5".  YMMV.

That is what I had on my monster for the first year.  Pretty good wind deflection over the helmet.  Still a little exposed if you have broad shoulders.

Doing my best to  not call upon any old fart references.
