I have the Ermax on for 5,000 miles now. I did a complete review on it. Search the files (forgot how to do that). Overall, very good. And I have no tolerance for buffeting as my last bike was a DL650 (Vstrom) that I put 70,000 miles on (well know for having wind problems)

Thanks!!

I have the same screen and it's a full package. Screen and spoiler come as one piece.

I want ASV levers :(


ASV levers suck when it comes to acting as a tall touring windshield. I hear they are excellent levers, however.

I'm conflicted as to which way to go on windscreen.
Givi touring
MRA vario touring
Laminar touring

Definitely want to go touring route, but not a clue as to which one will provide combo of bit more protection and not look like ugly duckling .... yeah, I'm a bit vain! :roll:

I've read from other form members that the Givi is a good model, I think the winged model may be very effective,but the look is odd (and I'm not really all that vain). Haven't read anything on the Laminar. Planning a long trip this summer, and definitely will want the higher screen.

Spent day looking for someone that stocks Givi touring screen. No luck ... probably my fault for lacking in googling know-how.
Anyway, anyone can direct me to a supllier in States?
Thanks!

I have Givi touring windscreen on order.
Anything should know that will make install easier or anything I need to be cautious about?
Thanks?

I have had a Laminar Touring screen (as per Daver's photo posted on June 10th) extension for about 12 months. To be honest, if there was any improvement it was quite minor. Lately I have been thinking about taking it off to see if I could notice the difference. I am inclined to think it increases buffet around the helmet and shoulders. It certainly makes a big difference if you get down on the tank, racing style, but that's not what I bought the bike for, at least not for the big majority of the time.

I agree, it would be good to get a purpose built full touring screen for those long rides.
