| Welcome to the forum Bill. I agree with the above comments on the Givi Air Flow too. I have it and won't give it up unless something better comes out. I have had the stock screen, Clearview XL screen, and the stand Givi Screen and like the Air Flow the most. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| Welcome Bill from the sunny(ish) south coast of our green and pleasant land. Wind can be eliminated in the main by the fitting of a Givi, AF214 screen. Much written on here to assist in making ones mind up. (Just read JeffR's comments  , what he said then!!!!!! Enjoy the forum, great bunch, loads of useful info and with pictures too!!!! |
