Givi Screen for 650 Gladius.

Hope you don't mind . But I just fitted a new Givi screen to Jans Gladius so I thought I would make comment of it. Bought from a UK site. $188 AU. Looked the nicest of the few that we could find. Quality is second to none. Givi do make good stuff. Fitting. Think it would have been easier for me to go and kiss the Queen. . After about 2 hours of trying to fit ONE bolt I came to the conclusion. The forks have to come off. Not such a bad thing really. I wanted to check out everything anyway. Only problem is. No centre stand, and bugger all places to put a jack under. Well I finally got the front up off the ground and stipped down. Five minutes later, job done. Result. One very happy Jan. .

You had to remove the forks? A bit of an unexpected hassle I'm sure.

I previously bought a Givi screen for the 1250s and was similarly impressed with the build quality (I only sold it because it actually increased the buffeting!). Cheers.

Yes Ewok.The space in between the forks and where the bolt goes is so restrictive. Forks out of the way , it's a breeze.

Has Jan been out on a ride so she can give us her report too?

Not with the screen yet. She loves the acceleration and the brakes compared to her V-Star.

nice looking bike & screen looks good..................perhaps you could suggest to Jan that she work off some of that labor time you spent on her bike .

I likes the way that you thinks Paul.
