Tiger 800 Tiger 900 Gt New Wind Screen

One of the big differences between my previous bike vstrom and the tiger was the wind noise above 60kmh
On the vstrom I had the hideous looking givi airflow, but it works very well when adjusted at the proper height.
On the Tiger I get a lot wind noise, I can not hear the engine above 80kmh, and it is difficult to hear the communicator above 100kmh
Watched a number of videos on youtube about givi / puig and no one seem really convinced.
I read a recommendation about Calsci.com here on an older thread, at almost $200 dollars is not cheap but I ordered it.

I have only done one short ride but did manage to get to 100kmh, and I can say I'm quite happy with the results, no wind noise, no buffeting, I can hear the engine, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to hear the communicator.

I was a bit worried the screen would look ugly but it certainly is nothing close to how the givi airflow looked, you be the judge of this.


Here are some images

 

one more comment
I did not order the Givi or Puig because they seem too tall for me
Calsci has the option to select 3 sizes, I got the medium one

 

Ludo, I'm 1.70m tall
At the lowest setting I can see a good 10cm over the top of the screen
there are multiple options for taller/shorter screens from calsci

They have very nice instructions about how to choose the height of the screen

yes , see this image
there is an opening

 

well it didn't last very long
found this as I was cleaning the bike
IMO the mounting is not well designed as the screen is at angle over the mounting points, the bar to adjust the height pushed the screen and it cracked

 

I added a piece of rubber between the screen and the mounting points
Also I did talk to them
they asked me to drill a small hole at the end of each crack
if this does not stop the cracks then call them again

 

sigh ...
Another set of cracks developed now on one of the lower mounting points,
I have to call calsci on Monday
While I really like the protection, the mounting is not adequate and eventually, the screen will fail completely
The screen meets the mounting points at an angle due to it being curved and the mounting points being on a flat plane perpendicular to the direction of travel

@Ludo have you installed the givi screen ?
