UPDATE !!!! ISOTTA E602 Windscreen for Yager
« Reply #61 on: December 28, 2012, 03:08:08 AM »
Update...
I finally got the windscreen. It took exactly one month (ordered on 11/26, shipped 12/06, received 12/26).
So Erjon, if you read this post, disregard my email.

Great packaging, screen was well protected.

At first it looked taller than I thought it would be and slightly thinner also (3mm).
The brackets are really solid and painted black gloss.
Instructions are in Italian and looking at all the screws, I decided to translate (thanks to Google) to make sure I install it correctly.

So here are my thoughts by category:

1) Fit:
The screen fits pretty well (as good as some Givi windscreens I had in the past on other bikes).
Everything is well aligned although, I had some problems at the end when putting the OEM lower plastic cover. Maybe it is due to the shape of the screen but one hole wasn't aligned and I had to run to the hardware store since I messed up one screw.

The mirrors will very slightly touch the screen if the handlebar is turned completely but when locked, there is NO contact (see photo).


2) Body Protection:
I am 5'11" (inseam 32") and I think this screen was made for me  ;D
By far the best upper body I have felt with any windscreen.
The top is at my eyes level. I need to stay straight to see above.

3) Hand Protection:
Overall, really good deflection of the wind. I wore my light gloves to test it (around 45F today) and after 30 minutes, only my pinkies were getting some cold air. With winter gloves, it's a non-issue.

4) Noise:
Complete silence (no wind noise) if I sit relaxed. Perfect really!

5) Impact on top speed:
So far, it seems that the top speed is not affected. I have been able to reach 68mph on a flat road. That's pretty much what I used to get before.
I will need to test it more on highways though.
 
6) Vibration:
Since day 1, I have heard some vibration noises in front of the Yager. It happens mostly when I put my feet up and stretch my legs.
Nothing has changed but it doesn't affect the windshield either.... if that makes sense.

7) Overall feel/quality:
To be honest, the screen feels thin (4mm would have make it feel more sturdy) but it doesn't vibrate nor flexes even at top speeds so no real problem here.

Knowing that there is a very limited choice of windshields for the Yager, I feel pretty good with my choice.
The size, shape and cost are really good and it does its job very well.
Overall I think it's a good windscreen.

Feel free to ask any questions. I probably forgot something.
Photos to come...

Happy New Year 2013 and I wish you all the best.

I am sorry to reply a bit late during last 2 weeks and I appreciate your work testing out the screen and writing these posts.
I happy that you received the screen and fits to your bike and your needs.
Yes 1 month delivery is too much but starting from January we started to use DHL Express.
This service delivers around the world from our company in Austria in 3 or 4 days max (if we have in stock).

If we do not have in stock then requires around 14 ~ 18 days.

I would like to hear also the opinion when it passes over 80 mph and riding more than 30 minutes. (Please be careful)
Feel free to share the ideas you have for this screen or can improve more.

One more last thing, can we mount your images under our product description ?

  Thank You
Erjon Galanxhi

Thanks for the wishes Erjon.
No worries for the answer.
I got the screen as described and I was expecting to wait a little bit. Glad you guys found a faster way to ship it though.

Above 80mph?? That's never going to happen with the Yager!!  :-)
Top speed is about 73mph on mine.
I did 100 miles of highway this weekend at top speed and the windscreen performed very well. No vibration nor flexing at top speed either. All good.
I get some slight buffeting on the very top of my helmet if I sit very straight. Not a real problem due to the windscreen though.
One thing that can be improved is the hands protection (just a little bit more width would fix it).
Oh... and some instructions in English would help ;-)

Sure... you can use my photos!

Has anyone else been successful in ordering/receiving a windshield from EURONETBIKE?   I have been trying to order a windshield from them but get error messages when I try to confirm order placement the "The merchant country is not supported".  Perhaps it is just a glitch over this Easter weekend.  I have emailed the company to try to get a windshield ordered.

Windshield for Yager

Wow ;D- the company responded back to me within about 6 hours (a Saturday night at that!) saying their IT department had corrected a problem with payments via credit card.  They asked me to update my order (re-enter the credit card info since their site doesn't store it).  My order confirmation immediately came up and I was able to print my receipt.

Thanks to Euronetbike for their quick response.  I wish US companies would follow your customer service example.

Thanks to Ludo for finding out about the company and the windshields.

Moto, the breakdown on my windshield order was (in US $) Windshield 103.97 with a 10% discount of 10.40 (don't know why- it was just on their website) for a subtotal of 93.58.  Shipping was $40.54 for a grand total of $134.11.  It shows being shipped via Austrian Post - but I don't know what that means.
