If you bought a new windscreen for the gsx650f, please post up a picture from the front of the bike and the side of the bike.

Also I would like to know what manufacturer it is from.

I'm trying to figure out a good screen for my girls bike which is a gsx650f black version, so of course I will be getting a black screen for her bike but it does not have to be black, any colour is ok, I just want to see how they mount and how well the flow of wind will be directed.

If you have any info on how well the screen worked for you and anything with good advice it would be much appreciated.


Thanks.

I am going to buy an MRA windscreen. The one I want says it is 2 to 3 inches higher than stock one, but basically the same shape. I am going to get the dark smoke color. You can see the shape of it on the attached link where I am buying it from ($105 usd').Image

It's a matter of choice and cost. I bought the Powerbronze screen in light smoke and broke it during install. :roll: Which I've heard they are hard to install so I bought the Puig in Dark Smoke and installed it in 10min. Personally the rounded look of the Puig was more appealing than the slant to bubble look.

post a pic of the one you got.

Hey jim you got a side shot so I know how it angles up to the rider?

I'm really looking for pics of the screen from the front and side, if you don't have both post a pic of what you got.

Thanks for those that posted pics much appreciated.

^^^thats a nice pic.

Got a side shot?

That screen seems like the wind will not hit the helmet.


Keep them coming people I appreciate all the pic's.

Gives me a idea on what to get for my girls ride which is a gsx650f black with silver.

I ride a CBR600RR so this is why I am asking.


Thanks

I don't have a side pic. I scarfed the front pic off the internet. I have not bought the MRA touring screen yet, but the post below me shows it pretty nicely.

Is their any buffeting with the Puig screen? I have the PowerBronze screen and I am not happy with it. I get a ton of buffeting and I like the more rounded look myself.

I would venture no. Sitting straight as possible, I don't feel the wind. I would get a second opinion though, I'm not the tallest character.

I had pics of stock vs PB vs Puig side by side but I think they got deleted. The Puig's bubble seemed more aerodynamically correct.

I agree, the Puig's bubble seems more streamlined than the PB bubble.

Well, I finally got to drive my bike some, and I was really impressed with the way it drives, but unfortunatly, the wind hitting my helmet is seriously retarded. My GSX-R 750 seated upwards wasn't this bad.

I was doing about 120 - 130 km/h, and my head was really bouncing around.

So now I'm looking to get either the taller windscreen, or the PUIG, etc, etc.. Anyone that changed theirs please tell me what you found.

I'm 5'10", so I'm not super tall, but tall enough to get plastered by the wind. Any input is really appreciated.

Thanks

Here are some pictures of my bike with the dark-tinted Powerbronze windshield.

http://www.gsx650f.biz/mod-shots-t1437.html

In terms of wind-buffetting, it is virtually the same as the stock windshield. If you prefer more upright riding then I would definitely go for one of the other windshields with the double-bubble effect or a higher profile. Personally I chose the Powerbronze as I prefer how it looks and am not took concerned about wind-buffetting.
