    MCGMB my inseam is 32" so nothing in it really

    Yes the double bubble is the style, they were developed for racing as are the triple bubbles, which I've seen on several WSB and a few MotoGP bikes

    Skidmarx have them for sale over here in the UK, although they don't list them on their website yet http://www.morebikes.co.uk/new-triple-bubble-motorcycle-screen-skidmarx/

    Ah, I understand now. The triple does seem like a good product. ::nod:

    I need an OEM screen. Where may I find a used one?



    I am glomming onto what Badbilly said,
    "The "wind" on a riders chest area whilst riding a "sport" type motorcycle assists in keeping weight off the wrists. "

    Not only due to my numb right hand, but I am DYING in the 90° heat! Dying!

    My bike came with a GIVI touring screen. It is big and ugly, and I cannot feel God's fresh air behind it. From everything I have read it seems that the stock windscreen is the choice that allows the most air. I am unable to find a used OEM screen (1999) but do see new ones for approximately $140. Do you have recommendations on finding a used OEM screen? It seems everyone replaces theirs so I would think there would be a large number of used ones available. Unless people keep them for the sole purpose of restoring the original bike, such as if the bike gets sold.

    I am up for a trade as well. I see the GIVI is still being sold new for this bike so I see no risk in getting rid of mine. A trade would have to happen in the fall when I am getting maintenance. I break everything I touch and know that I should not be removing this thing myself.

    Angh, if I counted my mistakes this week I would run out of integers to use. No problem. Plus your offer was a nice gesture as well.

    Do you realize this thread is in the 8th gen forum? You might have better luck finding one if you post that question in the 5th gen forum.

    Ugh, thank you, no I did not realize that. I searched and discovered this topic but did not realize where it sat. See there, I caused the confusion. Back to the drawing board. Thanks all.

    Please send that to me as a message, reminder. You have a bike a 5th gen givi fits?

    I may end up purchasing a new screen, if so I may have to sell the givi to even it out. But again send me a note so I have you on "the list."
