Installed New Givi AF1123 AirFlow Windshield Today!

Post by Blackbeard1718 »

When I first got my Forza in Oct, I installed a Givi D1123ST Windshield. After riding around with it for a past few months, I opted to order the Givi AF1123 Airflow Windshield, the one with the Adjustable Upper Windshield.

I was getting a bit too much Wind Buffeting at a variety of Speeds. I wear a 3/4 Helmet with Face Shield, and the Wind would get caught under my Visor, and bounce my head around, not to mention the Wind Noise was uncomfortable.

Weather is a bit wet and cold here, so no chances of giving it a Test Run with the AirFlow, for the next few days. Maybe next Friday, since the Weather-Guessers are forecasting 67-Deg and Clear. We'll see.

Already, just sitting on it, with the Adjustable Windshield at it's Highest position, with the Rail ends at the Bottom of the Latches, I can still see over the Windshield, like I like to. Maybe about an inch or two over the top. At 6'1", with the D1123ST, I was looking over the top of the Windshield about 4-5"'s. I like the way the AirFlow's Adjustable Windshield is curved, in that it may allow Wind to pass over my Helmet, instead of in it.

These babies are hard to find In-Stock here in the Lower 48, and I ended up ordering one on EBAY from Italy. Seller was very professional in notifying me about Shipping Costs, as well as providing me with a Tracking Number, and Email's from the Shipper on its progress across the Pond. I ordered it on Dec 8th, and it was at my door on Christmas Eve. Not a scratch on it!

Average Price here in the U.S., had these going for $216, and I bought mine for $176 with Shipping. Not bad at all!

During our 3-Digit Summer Time Temps around here, I'll most likely remove the Adjustable Windshield, and just run with the Lower Windshield, to at least enhance Airflow through my Mesh Jacket and Cooling Vest.

Cheers!

The tall Honda screen is bad for me in that it is too sheltered around my helmet. The helmet now fogs up more and the front of the visor never clears. I am a short guy so maybe it is too tall.

How is the Givi in the rain?

yes Andy. The forza 125 is a cracking scoot, will cruise on the motorway at an (indicated) 70 mph, but between 40-70 mph the 300 is much more usable for overtakes ect. A lot of my sunday rides are with others on bigger cc bikes/scoots and the 125 did struggle slightly. Also going on the Normandy trip in june with the 'ugly bunch' so the 300 is more capable.

i have to agree the 300 is a cracking scoot, an growing on me , nearly as good as the burgman 400. except for price. ans a £1000 is a lot of money to save. an the forza 300 is capable with a passenger aswell, (90 on the motorway .)
