Please help - Larger Windscreen?

[TANWare]

Use the Rain-X for plastic, I also use the Rain-X cleaner too. Yes it is true the original over time can cause hazing. As a side note also treat the headlight covers as they can then spread off the moisture as well.

Edit; I rode a bit tonight and what a difference. I did not have to put on a jacket just because the sun went down. Also riding for a bit I realized the hand guard area could be used as a dash panel extension and maybe a GPS and/or Cell mounts could be added. Definitely what should have been on these bikes all along.

I have noticed two more things.

1.) MPG is down a bit. On the first tank it went to 68.1 where I was getting 71 or better. Now to be fair it could be as it seems I am zipping around a bit faster. With the lowered wind turbulence I find I am usually going 5 MPH faster in most area's as speed is harder to judge.

2.) morning dew sucks. Not having that 100% over the screen view is disturbing at the dew makes it hard to see. haven't had the opportunity to try it in the rain as of yet.

I rode mine in the rain for the first time the other day.

If you're used to getting drenched on a normal motorbike, the Downtown is amazing - just make sure your knees and feet are tucked in behind the plastic. As long as your moving, you stay pretty dry. When you come to a stop you get wet, but that's to be expected.

Mine has a Givi screen fitted and whilst I find it quite noisy (I'm 5'10), earplugs on linger journeys tend to sort that out. In the rain though, the screen is the perfect height for clearing my visor.

Speaking of noise we all should be wearing hearing protection while riding. I have seen a couple places that the noise in the helmet, no matter what brand, gets to be 90+ dbs at 30 mph and goes up from there. OSHA rules at work say anything above 90 requires hearing protection for anything over 30 minutes of exposure. I always wear hearing protection.

I find it quieter but there is a whistle. I do think just an inch or so has to come off the top, it may just work to flatten out the top profile a bit. In the rain even with the Givi at full height a full face helmet seems to be a must have.

I got stuck in a little rain. I must say the beading of the Rain-X plastic makes life better.

I just did 112 miles and on the fill up got 74.5 MPG. I hope tendency keeps up. It would be nice not to have efficiency affected.

I also want GIVI D294ST, but i wonder about our different year models.
I have a -2013, is it the same for me?

[TANWare]

I think te mounting is the same across all years for the 300i.

Well for me it was perfect, a little shelter for the hands and perfect height. Im 196cm tall and i look over the screen and can see the road 3m in front of me, so no use for dremmel 💥👍
