Question Windshield looks

Well I put the stock shield on yesterday because I felt like the GIANT Givi was maybe sucking a bit of passing power and top speed out of the bike. I haven't ridden long enough to say if it was or not. Also I know it was reducing the amount of air flowing into my very important jacket and helmet vents.

Anyway I must say I like the way it looks. What do you think stock shield or the Givi??

Stock





Givi

I'm sure in colder weather the hand deflectors would be good, but for here, the stock looks better.

yep those are fog lights I think they add a nice touch...

The giant Givi is certainly warmer but warm in the summer in NM is bad. It will most likely go back on this next winter. Thanks for the comments guys...

Wow what a difference the stock shield makes. May be just in my mind but the bike feels lighter in the bars. I like the way it looks from the cockpit too...

The Givi in the pic reminds me of the bullet proof glass on the Bat Motorcycle. I know Givi makes some good looking windshields, but that isn't one of them.

I like the Givi. I keep mine on in the summer and I'm in Texas. I've been hit by bugs on the gloves and that can be scarey. The Givi protects much better than stock. I've purchased Givi for 3 scooters and would have purchased for more, if they had made one to fit the other scooters. It's common to switch when warm weather comes around.
