    Default Givi windshields

    There was a lot of talk about the new Givi windshields a couple of weeks ago. I can't seem to find a source for these. The Giviusa website has very little info and I would like a little more about them and a source to order from online should I decide on one.

    That's where I got mine. 120 mile ride on Friday and no problems but I don't think it would work well for someone too tall. It really collected the bugs. I'm about 5'8" and it's about nose level for me.

    Thanks I went to their site and it don't say what material they are made of. At that price I may order it anyway.

    Made of Plexiglass - is very similar to the BRP shields as far as fit and finish.

    Sorry - corrected this to say Plexiglass - NOT Polycarb.

    Indeed , the GIVI is made of DOT certified Plexiglass. Has a stamp on it with numbers stating this.

    The Givi shield is acrylic. The peel off sticker that comes on it says; "this windscreen is made in acrylic material". The imbeded ID says "PlexiGlass" which is a brand name for acrylic. You will not be disappointed in the quality and looks. I have seen the video of the comparison of the strength of polycarbonate versus acrylic, but I need shield to keep wind and bugs off me, not rocks, hammers, bats and bullets. I am very happy with the perrformance, which is not perfect, but for the majority of the riding I do, it is just what I need. At $130, it is a bargain.
