I replaced the stock windshield with a tall Givi. Great for blocking the wind. However, living in central Texas. I think i may go back to the stock windshield during the hot summer.

Hello i have 500ri too, about the tinted windscreen i have terrible problem with vibration sounds from the screen, tried everything to make it go away. only me with that problem? what can i do? currently i tooked it off because of that, im  thinking of buying a taller one.

Oskar - Is it the windscreen or turbulence around you helmet
that makes the vibration sounds?

Seems like the solution not is the smaller windscreen either...

Maybe the Laminar Lip on my higher windscreen is the way to go,
I'll start a new thread about Laminar Lip to see if there is any
experiences to be shared.

BTW, I saw a police motorbike today, with the Laminar Lip installed,
don't think the install things unless they are proved to work.


But the tinted windscreen is still cool

no its not my helmet, the "plastic" vibrations only noice at certain revs and speeds at around 50 kph.. and its for sure from the plastic around the windshield cos it doesnt make noice when driving whitout it..

Hey Tumbleweed, you might try installing a vent in the windshield.  When it's hot you just open the vent and get a breeze.  I put one in the Goldwing cause the windshield I have on it is so big it gets really warm in the summer, the vent solved the problem.  Best of both...     I had them put the tall Givi on the X500 when I bought it.  I still get enough air around it that I don't get hot when you can keep moving.  It's the city traffic where I get hot.  Today started out wet and stormy and ended hot and very humid.  Just being outside and you were wet after a little bit.  It felt good when I got out of the traffic and got to moving.  It was a long day, the ride home and a short ride after dinner was good therapy.  I feel better now...
