After much delay I received the Givi A780 windscreen and installed it.  Installation was simple.  This past Sunday I went to Summit Point Raceway and tried it out.  Excellent!  [clap]  The buffetting around my shoulders is gone, just clean air over the helmet.  The bike is naked, so when putting a knee out before a turn I could feel the push.  My goal was to eliminate the jostling on the straight and the A780 does that.

Not sure about the Mother Alien look, though.   [roll]

Any chance for some pics?   [drink]

pic please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pics?  Sure!

The last one is my bike and my GF's bike (the red M696) after we got back from Summit Point.  She rode out, but it was a hot, steamy day so she opted to put her bike on the trailer for the trip home.

Oooh Trailer make and model please??

Kendon trailer. my buddy just got one paid 2100 out the door folds up stands up and has casters for rolling around in the garage. VERY WORTH IT!

Correct!   [thumbsup]

Works well on the road and in the garage.

I still like it!

nice!!! the look is growing on me. maybe when i do some long distance riding ill get me one of those.  [thumbsup]

i wish i could get a Givi A755N Fairing in hand to see if it would work on the M1100 before comitting the $189 i know its got the round cut out for the old style round head light but i think the curves might work well with the lines on the 696 1100 tank skins.
mounting would be a chalenge  i think. I dont know.

Anymore ride review? I'm sure a lot better than standard!!

Whats with the strip of blue tape across the tank panels behind the gas cap?

that isn't a bad look, very mv agusta brutale looking in a way.

maybe if the lower half was painted it would look a little better sorta make it stock looking.

I see a side steering stabilizer, what kind is that? Someone was asking about one on some forum.

Blue tape:  The track organizer I ride with, Team Pro-Motion, requires a strip of tape with name and shift style (standard, or GP) on the tank.  I think most places require this -- makes it easier for the guys showing up if you biff.

Damper:  Ohlins from Kyle Racing.  Works good, though I can't say I have deliberately tested it.   [roll]


BTW, I was at the NJ Motorsports Park today.  Darn, the 696 likes the track!

Team pro-motion? I met them at NJMP last weekend at the AMA races.

Where are you located??

Nice guys.  http://www.teampromotion.com/tpm.php (http://www.teampromotion.com/tpm.php)

I am in Virginia, just a ways out of DC.  A short drive to Summit Point, WV; 4 hours to NJMP.  Next year down to VIR (4 hours).

I know it is an old thread. I am looking in buying a used givi windscreen. Will a windshield used for a 696 monster fit a 796 monster? Any instructions on the install? Is it easy or hard? Do I have to remove the dash etc? Thanks!

It looks like the Givi mounts using the 4 handlebar mount bolts... it doesn't even look like you have to pull the handlebars off like I had to with my Gen-X.  I would guess it would fit 696/796/1100, but maybe check the Givi website for compatability?
