I am considering one of these Givi screens to put on my S2R for multi-day trips.

Has anyone else used these or similar?
I'd rather have a neck-ache. ;D
Windscreen? What windscreen? Ditch it!!!
You yung'uns caint appreciate the stress that motorbiking puts on us ol'timers! Just looking for a little strain relief on those long rides on cold days is all. Have some respect!! [cheeky]
I'm not sure if I've ever seen one with a large Givi.
For a screen they actually look great, although I'm not sure the look is very "Monster" - more scooter?
If you don't mind the on/off hassle, go ahead. The protection with the largest one must be substantial [thumbsup]
You might want to consider a Dart screen, pretty damn effective for it's size, or a Zero Gravity:

A750 or 755 would look better.
(but i would do the ZG ST screen in the stock fairing too)
My plan is to probably go with the ZG ST screen to start and see how it feels (though based on placing my hand above the lip of the stock screen, I will likley get more buffeting at the helmet). I agree that the A750/755 look good, but they arent much better than the stock IMHO.
Then again, if I wanted comfort I should have bought the DL650 that I originally wanted [roll]
Just found this from National Cycle.

Easy to paint the area around the headlight to match the rest of the bike and I think it would look pretty good. At $100, it would be perfect for installing only for longer trips. Looks like it could use a few extra braces though. That's what I have a sheet metal and machine shop for =)
MRA out of Germany makes three different styles for the monster and in various colors.
Twisted throttle ordered mine. I HAD TO HAVE the mid height one because it .... was what I wanted I guess! Seriously though it is slightly taller by about 1.5", has a slight flip to it that help rediret the air up and over you. I find that it is plenty comfortable at any sane speeds, say 80-85 mph. At that speed I' get just a light buffeting and even my big lanky 6"2" selve is not getting blown off the bike. At 70-75 it's perfect and at 90-95 I need to start crouching down.
I think it looks better than the stocker also. It is teamed up with poorducriders supports of course.
here's some photos of it

Here is a pict of the ZG ST screen in a stock fairing that I had on my monster.

MUCH better wind protection than the stock screen, for me. I'm 5'5". YMMV.

That is what I had on my monster for the first year. Pretty good wind deflection over the helmet. Still a little exposed if you have broad shoulders.

Doing my best to not call upon any old fart references. ;D
