think u migh wana get a FF helmet and trying riding ur bike again.

110km/hr is not a slow speed

as for the wind screen, i think not much difference to the FC. will not fly off tat easily. to mount the givi wind shield,your headlight screws have to change to longer ones... the main thing u must do is to check your shield's screws regulary for any loose screws...

thanx guys, will get the mechanic to put on bigger screws if i were to get one

 

but will the wind resistance towards me decrease after i put on the windshield?

 

and ya, I'm thinking of getting FF but dunno which one to get...

 

i read up the helmets thread and saw these 2 models, the nolan 102 and the Rjays GP1

 

which is lighter and has better sound proofing har?

 

anyway, posted a quiry in the liaoz

 

but fellow s4 riders shld be able to explain better coz 1st hand riding wif hel on the s4 (this is more for the sound proofing part coz of riding posture of the head position)

[speedkills]

i jus went to motorworld.. i was quoted 100 for the belly pan + respray. then another 130 for the windscreen.

 

i think a little ex lei..anyone care to comment?

[cArRotZ]

i duno about givi shield. nv used one but i witness s4's a givi shield trembling like "ta ta ta ta ta" when i was in a car driving past my friend on a trip. ya. maybe nv tighten properly or is it liddat??

100 for the belly pan is far too ex...

think about 80 can get liao.

 

as for the wind shield, there are a few models

go check out the Givi website and you can browse the different models available.

the price are different for the few models so go check it out.

maybe you can go 219 shop to ask the prices too.

i've never had this situation before, even at high speeds at 2nd link.

i myself using Givi A750. all i can say is good!

when it drizzles, at least my chest area wont get wet.

like what i had mentioned, always check the screws of the windshield regularly.

thats the best prevention!

not bigger screws, its longer screws...

 

if u can lean on the tank when riding with the windshield, confirm the wind resistance will be nil. but that pose will be like Rossi on the tracks...

 

( p.s. - Zax ever saw me doing that pose. it just looks like Rossi loh! Right, Zax? )

[ellamcoy]

i lost my belly pan on the express due to the wind...cable tie broke.....

No such thing as "wind resistance will be nil". It may be reduced, but nv nil unless you are not moving. Do you mean that?

if you look like Rossi, think Rossi would rather sand his face using the tarmac on the tracks he races on. Maybe you be more like Valentine Rotti (pirated goods)

as the prices varies, maybe you have to do your own research with your "discount skills" already...

for the belly pan issue, not at all time...

as i had said earlier on, only those extremely high humps...

[ShnHwA-]

try regina or lab lohz..their belly pan also not bad lah..all u need to do is to respray it urself lohz..mine so far no prob..did a respray & paste sticker & laquer on..swee swee :lovestruck:
