OK, I fell out of love with my Givi screen pretty quickly, The only position that worked for me without turbulence was directing everything onto my helmet, i.e lots of bugs and rather breezy.
My latest attempt is an Emgo Fairing /screen, Its kinda a cheap S-Fairing type of thing.
Its not a straight fitting to the R65, some cutting /modification is needed to the headlight fairing, though I found this relatively easy with a fine jigsaw blade.
Two cuts as shown above to clear the indicator stalks, I guesstimated these cuts and it worked OK, they are probably larger than required but are mostly hidden, if you are more patient than me,
and are good at measuring up you can probably do a neater job
And one long cut as shown above to clear the instrument pod, One issue I had with the fine jigsaw blade I used was heating, causing the cuts to melt and refuse as they cooled, if you move the blade back and forth it helps keep the cut open, or possibly there is a better tool than a jigsaw for doing this type of cutting.
After that the next thing that needs adjustment are the brackets provided, I was told by the supplier I would need to make up my own as the supplied ones are for Jap bikes and will not work on BMW, Not sure why that would be, aren't headlight fittings pretty standard?
Anyway I found with some manipulation and bending, I could get the supplied brackets to fit, again I just used trial and error method:
One thing I recommend is fitting the screen to the headlight fairing before attaching the whole thing to the bike , I attached the headlight fairing on its own first [smiley=wall.gif], and while its possible to then attach the screen, its a bit tricky.
Finally I drilled & cable tied the headlight fairing to the brake bracket on the handlebar clamps on each side
I'm happy with how the end result looks, though I have not test ridden yet, so remains to be seen if the riding experience is any better than with the Givi, and how solid my fitting is.
