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!  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.  |

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?? |

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. http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/A755N/Windscreens/A755N.html |

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