Anyone got a Givi screen for sale, please?

[Francley40]

This is a bit of a long-shot, I know……
Does anyone have a Givi screen to fit my Burgman 650 K4 (not Exec), please?
I’m fed up with the fairly useless standard screen and am trying to replace it on the cheap!
Many thanks.

I don't have one but I when I fitted a Givi one onto mine, there is a massive depression caused when riding, so much so that you can feel yourself being sucked towards the screen! I fitted a Rifle air balance vent (google them) and from then on it was perfect.

I'm not sure the Givi is the way to go.
I've just bought a 400 K5 with a Givi screen, I'm 6'2" and my sight line is 5" below the top of the screen, so I'm certainly looking through it. I haven't been out at night in the rain yet, but I foresee difficulties.

Hi Meldrew,
Thanks for the reply, I've been searching YouTube and can't find any "cutting down" clips, dare I ask if you can point me in the right diection? ie what is the question to ask?
Cheers,
Robin.

OK, Looked again and found good info on YouTube about measuring ideal screen height and how to cut down a screen.
I'll post when I've done it.

Yes let us know how you get on,I've got to do mine but I'm frightened it might crack.

I've cut a few screens down and it's very easy.
I cover the screen with Masking tape so the Jigsaw does not mark the screen.
I then draw the new Cut Line using the existing profile as reference.
Important bit is to use the correct Blade with the Jigsaw, you can buy a dedicated Plastics cutting Blade.
Make sure you support the Screen if cutting it on the scoot and take your time!
Once you've cut the screen down start with a course grade of Wet and Dry and make sure you use a Block.
Once you have smoothed the saw cuts out move upto finer grades of Wet and Dry.
Finally I use the finest Wet and Dry and don't use the block.
This adds a slight radius to the edge.
If you do it right you would never know its been cut down
Good Luck

Done It!

Frankley, I'm sorry about hijacking your thread, no intention to be rude.

On YouTube, I found "Trim a Motorcycle WIndshield" by Harber's Cycle. This is a clear and detailed step-by-step set of instructions, I just got everything together and did as I was told. It took about 45 minutes and now I have a nicely shortened screen----and a piece from which to make an adjustable "laminar blade" should that be needed---I took 4.5" off my screen. I'll go for a test ride when it starts raining again.

Really p**^^ed down yesterday, I wimped out!
Reminder, It (was) a Givi one-piece Tall screen, before shortening I had a fair bit of behind-the-helmet buffeting at 80ish.
Tried it today in the dry, seems fine, I can easily see over the top of the screen when sitting comfortably (as in "Listen with Mother") and if I slump a little, I can look through the screen. It's OK with my visor open or closed, no helmet rattle, a little bit of wind noise, but not a problem. On reflection was 4.5" the right amount to cut off, for me, definitely, Yes. 6'3" 33" inside leg.
Now, if I can find av way to shift that backrest further back???
