If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

GIVI A605 Windshield

I was looking for a small windscreen for my GS1000 since a broke my ?S? fairing. I looked at a number of them and most seemed quite good quality and easy to install. But the main problem installing these on my GS1000 is the confined space on the handle bar to mount anything due to my low rise super sport bars and the old style brake master cylinder. The GIVI A605 and mounting hardware fit perfectly for my application. The hardware is top quality and the installation took me about 3/4 hour and that included removing everything again so I could shorten the mounting rods due to the confined space. Which by the way are top quality stainless steel. With higher bars it could be mounted in about 15 to 20 minutes. The screen itself is formed in compound curves rather than just a bent flat piece of plexiglass and has a molded lip around the edge which makes it surprisingly rigid. The test ride revealed no access vibration or buzzing and fairly good wind protection for a small fairing. Tested up to 100mph+ the handle bar mounts held firm, didn?t try to rotate back and didn?t produce any abnormal handling issues. Great product, great price. At around $100 I would consider an excellent buy and it's a top quality product.

Looks a Lot like the National Cycle Screen that's on My 850, Maybe just a tad Bigger. I didn't care for it at First but it's Grown on Me in the Last Year.
 
Sandy, it looks like the mounts obstruct your view of the clocks a bit?

Yeah they do a bit. The right mount as you can see had to go where it is but only blocks the tach after redline. I only sometimes by mistake end up with the needle over there and by then I'm usually grimacing with my eyes closed so I guess that part being blocked doesn't really matter much. The left hand mount had to go where it is because, well, it matches the right hand mount. I suppose I could have moved it farther to the left to have a clearer view of the speedo, but really, it's only a speedo.

Wow! When did Givi start offering reasonable pricing on ANYTHING?

It does look good, if you like windscreens. Obviously very high quality, too.

Swap the mounts. You'll get enough room to see your clocks.

Good observation, I'll have to look it that. I think I tried that but the tip of the master cylinder was going to be in the way, maybe I can slide the right mount to the left slightly and get a little more room, it was really tight there. Thanks for the tip.

I really didn't personally like windscreens either. It's the first actual windscreen I've had on a motorcycle in thirty seven years of riding. I've always ridden either naked bikes or sport bikes and wouldn't call what they come with windscreens. It's going to take some getting used, kind of makes me feel like I'm offically a member of the oldfarts club.
