just got a windscreen from ah boy yesterday, brand is PUIG, lightly tinted, very nice, good buy, just that the mechs there did not do a very good in the installation, have to redo it fully by myself, i guess its still better to bring it to a bike shop you trust or better still, DIY if possible, only u know wat u urself wants.

Can post a picture n share with us how much?

mudman: Bro, here it is. Small model, same color. Givi Airstars 770. Looks gd, but aint tall enough. Air gets deflected directly onto ur helmet if u sit upright. =( Well, it's already e biggest windshield of e Givi Airstars series, if i'm not wrong.

Givi got quite a lot of choices..

I'm not sure abt my model.. but it moderately high placed and it's stretched till half of my handlebar..

But it doesnt look that nice, a bit too big..

 

sky_vinz: yours looks great.. the vents will allow some air to flow thru..

the wind shield actually helps block out most of the headwind bro but it also depends on the size of the windshield.

Aerodynamic wise, it's not as gd as the sportsbikes.......i can only say it deflects or channels most of the headwind sideways and over your head, provided ur windshield is tall enough.

 

in heavy rain condition, when travelling fast, u can see the difference as well. Most of the rain will land on the windshield rather than lashing onto ur body straight....and my windshield protected me from flying debris such as gravels or tiny rocks there were flung off the wheels of vehicles in front ...........

 

the other main reason why i need a windshield is becos i use a very tall tank bag for touring. jus imagine without my windshield, i think the towering tank bag will be leaning or swaying in the wind during the ride than staying on my tank .......

 

hope all these helps bro . btw, i use a windshield that isn't favoured amongst the s4 community, prob cos it doesn't look as nice . see the attach pic to see the height of the windshield.

today when to 219 shop to get the windshield u got... can say not to back looking but most important is that it serve it purpose.

[ck_yeo]

this also not bad.... i tried travel at 180km/h, im shield against the wind with my body bend down... when i try to give my head above the windshield..... ALOT of different!

 

so for mi, No regret getting it!

This poll was created during year 2004 and during that time wasn't much selection of windshields...

Now there's actually more selections(fierce looking & various different sizes), just need to DIY or mod it to suit individual taste...
