If you were in FL I'd say come ride it and see if it works.

Thanks for the pictures......that model is still on my list of possibilities. I think that Givi fixed model (6401DT I think) looks fine.

You maybe have answered this elsewhere, but it's all running together.......what's your height and inseam? Can you compare this Givi to the OEM screen? My complainst about the OEM are noise....I have no real buffeting, but I do have the wind on my chest, and of course its lack of weather protection. Curious how the Givi is in those areas?

Thanks.

Thanks. Appreciate the info on the Givi fixed 'screen. Bad news is no air on face up to 65.......it gets warm where I ride.

It gets a bit warm here too. I think you would be happy, there is enough cooling air but not so much you need to shut the visor. When it rained the other day, the visor fogged over, I cracked it and it cleared. Most of the air is flowing over, but not all. The madstad is only going to be less airflow. Price you pay if you want silence.

Website says that they won't be available until March 2013. I am sure once they're available, the site will be updated with ordering instructions.

Ah, thanks.

I am liking the look of this one, a little more subtle. Anyone have any experience with it? Thoughts?

His looks way better than yours IMO. Although function should be over form.

Here are my experiences in case they are helpful to anybody else.

Bike: 2012 Tiger XC, suspension lowered 20 mm, seat in low position
Me: 176 cm / 5'10, long torso short legs
Problem: intolerable wind noise. I get ringing in my ears even wearing prescription ear plugs. I have no problem at all on my windowless trail bike.

1. Fitted Triumph screen adjuster. With screen in highest position there was a slight improvement, but still unacceptable.

2. Fitted Triumph tall screen with height adjuster. With screen in high position, further improvement, becoming more tolerable. Wind jet hits about 50-100 mm from top of helmet. If I duck my head down I can get into the zone of total serenity but I can't ride like that.

It seems like I need a windshield that is 100mm/4" taller than the tall screen - I don't think it's practical. I will now experiment with wind deflectors to try and get the jet over the top of my helmet, or at least soften it a bit.

It's tough to find a solution sometimes....and you're that time apparently. You might try other things, like removing or adding a tankbag and a different helmet. Have any of the screens you're tried had one of those adjustable "flips" at the top? Might be worth a try. Also, is some wind able to enter under the lower, front part of the windscreen? I believe that helps "push" the airstream "up" as opposed to just following the contour of the screen right to the helmet top.

Please keep this thread updated.
