Givi Windscreens

The Givi provides marginal improvement over the Burgman stock windshield. I had been using a Laminar Lip on the stock windshield of my 2013 Burgman 650. It reduced buffeting by a good margin and eliminated almost all bug impacts on my helmet visor. The Lip parted company with the windshield at 60 mph plus and despite intensive roadside searching couldn't be found.

At a little more than twice the cost of a replacement Lip the Givi seemed like a bargain, but in my case doesn't work that well. I'm 5-10 with a long torso and probably sit as high as most riders and inch or two taller than me.

At less than full windshield extension the Givi reduces buffeting less than the Lip. At full extension I'm looking throughout the windshield and experiencing noticeable back pressure on my shoulders and helmet which soon becomes annoying/taxing at highway speeds.

Installation was quick and easy: an extra pair of hands is a plus to eliminate the possibility of dropping or scratching the windshield while positioning and tightening screws. Fit and finish are excellent, windshield material is thick with minimal distortion. The side flares deflect much of the airflow from the hands.

Had I taken a short test ride before removing the stickers I would be trying to return it but I went right out on a 280 mile ride after installing it so that isn't an option.

Other riders might find the Givi windshield perfect for them: it is well made and fits perfectly.

Revzilla customer service was typically excellent: although the website indicated the item was not in stock the person helping me checked with (I think) Givi and got it ordered. He let me know that delivery might be more than a week but it ended up being 4 or 5 business days.
