More C600 windscreen choices than just GIVI...

[SR50Dreaming]

That's good to hear TwoPort. I wonder if it's the C600 sport that has issues. I read that the puig and malossi are the ones having trouble. That being said, they are shorter and sportier so not an issue of you are looking for protection.

I am still interested in a shorter screen for warm weather and a higher screen such as the wunderlich for cooler weather and travels.

I run the Puig screen, and it does not line up perfectly - it does, however, flex ever so slightly, which is all it needed to line up with the stock holes.

I've been running it for 3 months without any issues, hairline cracks etc, so seems to be doing the job okay. At $120, If it began to fail after a year or so, I would probably just get another one. Less than a year, I would look at other options.

Sorry I may have missed it SR50 (Arpilia?) but do you have the GT or Sport?

No worries - I also have a C600 - was sort of responding to your post re. the C600 having issues.

Which puig? The touring or the sport?

 

[SR50Dreaming]

The dark tint sport version, 6031F I think the part number is.

EDIT: i'll put up some pics when i'm home tonight

Nice, that is the one I considered.

How about some impressions vs. the stock screen. The biggest issue I had was noise, so I cut mine down. Fairly satisfied but I am no machinist so it isn't quite as nice looking. As I just mentioned, I'm still considering an aftermarket screen and do like the look of the puig; I have one for my Aprilia and it's well made.

Ummm...so, it's definitely better looking than stock. Not difficult though - the stock screen looks like you're riding behind 3ft of vertical window!

Regarding the wind & noise, I find it's just about perfect in the lowest position. This way, you keep most of the wind off your body, but leave your head mostly exposed - which is perfect for me and my full-face helmet. I also ride an 848, so I'm used to the usual wind-direct-to-helmet noises. I see you also ride with a full-face, so this may suit you too.

I didn't like the look of the little Malossi screen - it looks more like a placeholder than a windshield. Sitting upright, you're going to be taking all that wind square in the chest, which at reasonable speeds or for extended periods is going to become pretty tiresome.

Well, order placed. got the sportier screen, 5mm shorter than stock in light smoke. will post pics whenever it arrives. ebay for about (under) $150 with shipping.

I have the Calsci Large BMW C650GT Windshields. No buffeting as compared with stock. When it is down I get air. When its up no noise as the wind is completely blocked which is what I was after.

I'm thinking of getting one of these. May I ask how tall you are, and which size screen you bought?

 

[windplr]

I guess I should have read your post. I see you got a large. I'm 6'2" and will probably get the large as well.

5'10" - I got the Medium. I had stated large in error before.

Puig installed:






Took a little muscle to get it. I had to push down and sort of flatten it out to get the holes lined up. Also, the OEM screw came out without a hitch. I know some people had issues with them being stripped or what not.

 

[SR50Dreaming]

looks the goods Greyhound! how do you find the wind etc?

 

[grey.hound]

Zero buffetting and no vibrations. Of course, I only traveled about 20 feet at about 5mph.

I just got it and put it on, haven't had a chance to ride with it. Tomorrow.

Should I locktite my Givi screen? Just put it on C600. Massive improvement, though only if you prefer see through experience.
