Givi are often the best option for the Burgman, just a choice between normal or Airflow type.

YAY! icon_spin-on-head.gif Mine was from ESB in Bolton

I've got a Givi airflow on mine. Find it more rigid than the original and you get a bit of choice over where the airflow hits you. Sometimes it is a bit too efficient in the summer and I detach the top section altogether and stick it under the seat - makes it nice and cool for round town (a bit wearing if you were doing more than 2-3 mile at motorway speeds though)

It is wider at the base too which blocks some but not all the weather on your hands. Note that if you have the handguards on you lose the last 1-2 cm of stearing travel where the guards it the Givi. There is some distortion looking at the ground through the base of the screen but if you are looking at something that close it is too late anyway.

Have fun

PS it isn't the really short "sport" screen on yours is it?

Won't that fail the MOT if steering is not checked by the lock stops for total free movement.

Just a thought

It's a fail if you can trap your pinkies between the handlebars and tank (clip-ons) but you have no tank.

Think I will go for the airflow, standard screen air hits me at head height and is noisy

Got the givi airflow, not been far yet and still running in but it seems much better than standard screen

You should get on well with the middle burger it's a useful, practical and efficient machine for these days of austerity. icon_wink-.gif Wales.gif
