I got a perspex manufacturer near me to cut the fixed part down and that did the trick !

In the summer I could take the bit that raises up off and have plenty of cool air in my face BUT equally in the winter with the rising bit fitted, I could tailor it just how I wanted.

If there was a drawback, I would say that it vibrated a bit but other than that a good buy !

That's interesting. I was wondering if it would have enough ajustment for me to be able to choose between looking through or over.
I'm 5ft 9" ish btw.

Had a look on ebay but I can't see it.

I am usless at finding things though, just ask my Mrs.[/quote

GIvi AIrflow AF49
think its 21 quid at mo
He told he paid 60 quid for it in listing so should go for about 40 but dont bid till last 20 seconds and bid 10 er more if u really want it..

So I made my mind up to keep the Givi tall screen and look through it, it's hust so quiet and relaxing, and I can leave my visor up at all speeds.. But, yesterday we had a light rain shower. The rain drops were no problem, but the film of road grime that quickly built up after the rain stopped was. I had to crane my neck upwards to see over, very uncomfortable after a while.

So, I think I'm going to go with an airflow. I have a few more questions, indulge me please.

If you were me, would you just buy the complete item and save the Givi Tall incase I don't like the airflow?

Would you just buy the spoiler part and cut the givi Tall down to suit?

If I cut the Givi tall down to mount the airflow spoiler, how much would you cut off? (It's currently about 2" above mt line of sight.

Should I be able to ajust the Airflow so that I can look through or over?

If I sit on a cusion so that I'm just looking over my Givi tall, it's really quite noisy, won't setting an Airflow to the same level give the same result?

TIA
Tom.

sit on a cushion for a while , until you are 100 per cent sure its what you want, after all you can take the cushion out at any time or add it

If sitting on a cusion looking over mine is the same as it would be looking over an Airflow then it's too noisy.

I was hoping the Airflow ayatem would push the wind over my head even when it's below eye level.

i always think different helmets deflect the wind better than others, i have these for daily ride as not dear and deflect well the wind http://www.ghostbikes.com/10129-shox-as ... elmet.html
i also use an OGK FF3 Aeroblade as its light fiberglass and Kevlar construction and has a wide viewing angle as turning my head i can c more rear without straining my muscles, and its got mega ventilation being a racing helmet for summer works well in wind deflection but is not as quieter than my shox, but the shox is fitted with an anti fog for the co;der days, so grb a mates helmet and see, my OGK BELOW has now got a go pro (only the newer £99 version but its great)
