Screens

Post by Mister Paul »

The SH300 comes without a screen. It's fine as it is, but you get the obvious wind push on your torso, bugs on your visor and wet when it rains.

SH300 screens are cheap, but you generally have to fit the screen brackets that come with the Honda screen, and as far as I'm aware you can only buy the brackets with the standard Honda screen.

When I bought my SH300 I ordered the Honda screen kit (which comes with the brackets and a pair of clear plastic hand guards) and the Givi short screen.

Fitting the brackets was very easy once someone had send me the 4-page fitting instructions. Fitting requires removal of some plastics, and temporarily moving the light/display unit out of the way. There are two blanking plates to remove, which reveal the mounting holes for the brackets which then simply screw into place.

The Givi screen is thicker perspex than the Honda screen. It's nicely finished. I fitted it with the intention of running it year-round. It sits below helmet-height so keeps your torso dry and the wind pressure off your body, and worked well for me.

Now that it's getting cold I thought I'd swap it for the Honda screen, which is huge. Ignoring the ugly aesthetics, it's a revelation. No wind or rain on the helmet, and no wind noise around the helmet. It's great. You look through rather than over it, but I use Nikwax Visor Proof on it, so rain beads off. I've never had a problem with visibility through it. It's that quiet that you can hear the quietest of noises from the scoot. And it's fine at motorway speeds. I've not noticed a dip in MPG either. I can see it getting warm in the summer, so once we're through the winter I'll stick the Givi screen back on.

Yeah, both the Givi screens bolt onto the Honda brackets.

making it easier to interchange. My puig is ok but I must admit to preferring the honda (riot shield) screen. Think it'll be on my winter shopping list. :)

Guys I too have the OEM screen and one made by fabbri in Italy - both use the OEM brackets - the huge Honda screen was useless in the inclement scottish weather - it prevented air circulation around my visor and I couldn’t see a thing in wet conditions - I’m sure horobags had similar problems with the OEM screen on his previous sh300i - I think he had it cut down in size

I think I've only had my visor down a couple of times since I fitted the large screen. So much so that I'd buy an open-face helmet if I wasn't concerned about coming off and landing on my face. It seems that the routine where they're built and ridden most is to wear normal clothes and an open-face helmet.

Hi - Mister Paul - any chance you could post or send the screen fitting instructions you mention? I need to remove the plastic cover around the headlight on my 2017 SH300i ... without breaking it. Thanks.

Hi All

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the hand guards alone? It looks like being a bit expensive buying the screen/guards just to burn the screen for being hideous!

Cheers

I've bought and fitted the Honda screen, but it is very big and I've been trying to find a smaller replacement screen to fit the supports. The only one I've found is this Kappa: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/KD1143S-Windsh ... 3024500022 . Mr Paul, could you tell me where you got the Givi please, and was it pre-drilled to fit the Honda supports? Thanks.

Are these the instructions you want? : http://cssportal.css-club.net/honda/MCA ... 7_2046.pdf

I bought the Givi screen mentioned further up. When it arrived from Italy it was black not the tinted I was expecting and looked odd on my white SH, and I've by now got used to the Honda barn-door screen (nice riding without a visor or earplugs). So the Givi is for sale if anyone wants it. Used for only one journey. Cost 48.55 Euros. So - £10 + postage.

Thanks for the pdf. Mine is 2017 but I can't see why it would be any different. Is your Givi screen still see through?

My bike's a 2017 too. The screen is very dark, not just tinted.
