Looking for a simple, small handlebar type windscreen to break highway wind blast that anybody has found to complement (extend) the original short cyclone fairing. |

When I first got my m2 there was generic clear windshield on it and they put the windscreen over the top. It worked but the fit was not clean so I took it off. I tried givi and they said sorry nothing. I think you can get one of the universals to work but your on your own. I been looking too. The S3 setup is more and work you might as well buy an S3 - but others have done it. |

I responded to someone else's post a while back on this. From my experience, either go big or none at all. Anything in the middle just creates more turbulence and buffeting. I tried a Givi 210, 750, and now the 750 with a Puig sport clip on visor. The visor seems to help with the buffeting but creates more air noise. I still feel beat up after an hour or so if above 60 mph. Madstad will make a custom, adjustable one but I just cannot bring myself to spend $300+. Givi AF49 is universal and has great reviews but again cannot bring myself to spend $300 (very, very close to ordering one of these). Laminar lip has a money back guarantee so if you are just looking for a little relief, that might be worth checking out. New helmet should be in soon so will be interested to see how that changes the noise and buffeting. |

Check out the Palmer Products brackets to adapt a clear windscreen on top of the existing one. There was one for sale here for a Uly, but looks like it could work. I got the Laminar Lip and it moves the blast higher, but I still can't position it to my liking yet, buffets the helmet too much, still working on it. |

Ordered a laminar lip. Like the looks of the Givi but just bought a belt for the beast so feeling somewhat impoverished. Thanks for the angles on this folks! |

Givi 660 Is mountable and adjustable No mods needed but optional and cheaper than buying a S3

Turbulence? Buffeting? |

it works fine, but at 80 there is noise at least for me unless I point my head down to avoid the upstream. |

Mhlunsford, did you have any problems mounting on the handlebars. Doesn't seem to be much space. Could you take a pic that shows how you mounted please? |

Looks like it just fits. So are you liking it? And what's that thing to the left of your speedo? Thanks for the pics. |

Here in Ncal it gets windy at night and it helps. At 80 you do have wind noise below 80 it is ok. I do notice the bike handles a little different when the blows as know the force is transferred to front of the bike in stead of me. There is probably an inch of adjustment up or down - I put it down. If you wanted more adjustment you could cut the shield. I would recommend getting some rubber bumpers for where the shield hits the stock windscreen. It is stable though - the two mounting points do a good hop. Not perfect looking but a compromise and a lot cheaper than s3. The motor is almost new X1 so hard for me to let it go. I will be at Buell rally in co if want to give it try. The thing to the left of the speedo is a RAM mount for a Dakota gps - well built. |
