Installed New Givi AF1123 AirFlow Windshield Today!
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2016 7:38 pm
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!
