Howdy folks,

In my feeble and probably wasted attempt to turn my 696 into somewhat of a touring bike, I have looked high and low for a decent windscreen. My latest find was the Givi universal windscreen:

http://www.giviusa.com/Screens--spoilers/Universal-screens/

Does anyone have any experience with any of these screen. I am particularly interested in how well the fit on a 696 with Rizoma handle bars and it they actually provide good wind and buffeting protection.

Thanks in advance for any info.

When I first got my Monster, I bought a used Givi A760.  It worked great.  Plenty of wind protection for chest and shoulders.  The screen curves up in the end and re-directs the wind right at the face level.  I would tuck a little bit and I'd be out of the wind.  Helps a lot of the noise and fatigue. 

Not so good: The windshield is way too big.  Doesn't go with the lines of the bike and makes the front "too heavy", IMO.  Kinda made my monster look like a crawfish.  I took it off after awhile.

I would think the all-clear screen would look better.  Wind protect would be just as good.
