Windshield By skyrider (Read 1,190 times)

When I visited JR last July he showed me the GIVI windshields that he has on his and his wife's scooters.
When we got to where we thought we would be long enough for it to arrive before or while we would be there I ordered
one from the place with the best price. That was late August. Immediately got an email saying they would ship it as soon as it arrived.
When I checked other sellers, they were out of stock. I told them to call me when they got it and I would give them the current address.
Last update said they were promised by GIVI they would have it Jan. 14, 2014 but GIVI had promised several delivery dates before
that did not happen.
Searching the internet I ran across this windshield that is 5 inches taller than the standard Reflex windshield. The GIVI in 2 inches taller.

I ordered it Monday the 16th (a birthday present to myself) and it came today. I went for a short ride and WOW what a difference,
almost NO wind noise in my helmet. It is not only 5 inches taller but significantly wider.
I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it.

Congrats on the new windshield-the wider windshield might also keep the bugs from coming in around the side--I got hit last summer just above the glasses on my temple by a big bug that came at the windshield and detoured around the side and into my face ..it hurts and a bigger one might have unseated me---happy trails,fflintstone---and Merry Christmas and happy Birthday

Saving this link for sure. Not going to invest $100+ now, but if anything happens to my Roketa windshield this looks like a great replacement.

I am 6ft4 so I am not sure a taller one works for me ,I guess anything deflecting the wind above my head is good I don't like the wind right in my face when rideing long trips ,i will try the stock one first ,yes seems like a lot but if your takeing long trips,i think the scooter looks cooler with no wind shield I wont put it on until bug season ,I got the face shield on helmet though on cooler days fogs up fast ,just keep it tipped open ,,I wont trust the scooter for long ride until after 300 miles or more then again I am just scoot around town kinda guy 30 mile round trip to town

yup-half helmet and safety glasses--I like visibility ,and a regular size windshield usually works for me --fflintstone

I use a half helmet and safety glasses and I have a full face helmet with faceshield. The bugs down here will put out an eye with no prob. I wear a helmet no matter the distance of the trip....enjoy the ride.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....

Half helmet, full face shield, and reguler windshield works for me.

Oh yeah-always helmet--and your bugs should not mate with our bugs --it would be a major disaster ,since our bugs are not only ballistic but have homing devices that aim for your face and your bugs are Texas bugs and everything in Texas is BIGGER..we would then have BIG bugs with radar--disaster..happy trails,ride safe,fflintstone

Yea the first thing I got was a GIVI windshield when I saw JRs on his 250s. My Trikes body is actually a 250 just like JRs 250 except they put in a 150 motor(BUMMER). That is why I had the 62BBK and 60mm Stroker crank put in plus a lot of other mods(HEHE). The Trike is heavy and they should have left the 250 motor in it in my opinion. But I am very satisfied with it after the BBK moves out smartly.
