From: David Thomas on 15 Mar 2007 09:38 Hi all Anyone here fitted a Givi A750 or A760? If so, are they any good? I know a lot of these screens can be more trouble then they are worth with buffeting, just thought these ones looked nice and may help the wind blast at 70ish. TIA, David

I rode a courtesy CB500 fitted with a Givi screen. It looked horrible and made the bike unstable on a windy day. -- wessie at tesco dot net BMW R1150GS

The riding position of the SV650S doesn't suit everyone, the naked model was much more comfortable for me, but the wind blast was tiresome, so I got the S model. Now, I could spend a couple of hundred dollars on bar risers and some more on a peg relocation kit, but a much better solution is to get the naked and add a screen, since it's far cheaper and it's essentially the same outcome. The money you save by getting the naked vs. the S will more than pay for a decent Givi windscreen. > What's the issue with wind blast at 70... wuss! 70 is just about the limit. Ride 600 miles on a naked standard across Minnesota and South Dakota at 75+ mph and then get back to me. -- '01 SV650S '99 EX250-F13 '98 ZG1000-A13 OMF #7 |
