| My used 2006 SW came with a Givi 2145 installed - and brackets and screws in a bag.
When I ride on the highway above 65 I get a lot of buffeting from _behind_. i.e. the windshield seems to be creating a low pressure area and air is coming from behind to fill it. My brother in law, a Goldwing rider, told me to install vents to reduce the pressure - or drill holes in it. Has anyone done that?
Are there other fixes that have worked for people? (Short of going to the two piece $215 Givi). |

| Ishkatan,
I had the Givi before my Givi airflow and i would get some back pressure too. Even though I'm 6' tall with a long torso I could still cut some off and it still did a good job. If you can cut an inch or so off and it will help reduce the back pressure. |

| Sorry about that Jeff. When I clicked on the PDF the first time it did not hi-light and when I went back to it the second time it opened at the bottom of my screen and becaue I did not have my window completely open I did not see it. I have replaced my screen three times so that will not be a problem. I am still looking for the D214 installation kit PDF - JeffR wrote:
- Hi,
I replaced my XL Clearview with a Givi windshield and I produced this "Pictorial" for others who would like to do this. It is really a very simple process that only requires a phillips type screwdriver. If you follow the below document you should have no problem whatsoever. If you have any problems or questions please get back with me. There really is no reason to pay a mechanic to do this work since it is really quite simple and only takes about 30 minutes your first time.
Here is the .pdf format: |

| Oh Oh. Is this going to turn into a 'should I install the brackets" or "do I really need to install the brackets".
I think those who install the brackets are sissy's....nay...they are super sissy's.
This should add some excitement !!! |

| A tip: Offer up the brackets, one at a time, bolt them in place using the two bolts which are already there - then GENTLY drill through the plastic, using the 'extra' hole at the front end of the bracket as a guide. The threaded hole is underneath. It takes just a hint of pressure on the drill to get through the plastic - I reckon you could just about do it holding the drill-bit in your hand. |

| I tried to start a 10 page fight but I guess it didn't work. If the givi airflow breaks on me and cuts my face badly from the flying debris (because I didn't install the bracket)...I will just laugh and ask for more.
Doug,
I followed you once without you knowing, and you are a crazy rider. On a 60mph "a" highway there you had to be going at least 15 mph. ''You a crazy man". |

Let me just add to this tip since I just did this procedure a week ago. When drilling through the plastic, the frame nut is just below the surface. So if you drill through and aren't careful, you can actually mess us the threads on the nut if you start drilling into them. Vic |

| Thanks Jeff for the pictorial and everyone's comment and advice on this topic.
I replaced my OEM shield today with the Givi today.
Took about 45 minutes because I had to get everything organized in my customary OCD way and took my time. Very easy project thanks to the info gleaned here. The Givi instructions are basically useless even though it's printed in five different languages . Probably could be done in about 15 minutes the next time around. |

| Hey Swingers, I installed my Givi adjustable a week ago. I live on a large island in the North Atlantic. We may experience a week of calm weather in a year. Usually it is windy and much of the time it is gusty and varies in direction as hills, trees, valleys, bays and coves all influence direction and most roads follow the coastline. Gusts of 60 to 70kmph (36-42mph) are common here and I have ridden in them with the OEM screen and it was not fun. My background is in design and construction. Looking at the OEM 6 screw mounts versus the Givi with extra flange brackets and extra drilled screw into an existing although hidden threaded nut mount, it just made prudent sense to take the extra step, time and careful drilling to align with nut mount. I also removed the front meter visor to satisfy myself my drill would meet up and not damage mount and it eases the mind considerably seeing what your drilling Looking at the added structural support of the flange and drilled connector and remembering the OEM screen's excessive top flapping at speed I strongly advise all with Givi adjustable to install install this additional hardware. I'm happy with my Givi adjustable because it is adjustable and my riding conditions vary. It is quieter too as I finally heard the Swing at speed and the excessive vibrations are gone.....although the Beach Boys liked them. Easy. |

| Installed the brackets today after riding around all week without them The Givi is a big improvement over stock. Makes you wonder Honda doesn't off an optional taller screen . After all, there's a lot of us out there who aren't vertically impaired. I can see the value of the brackets since they help spread the stress load.

| No, I never owned a CD by the Bee Gees, though using it as a tool is probably the best use of any CD by them. It was an old computer CD from one of my wife's classes . I though I might as well put it to some useful purpose. |

| I swapped out the stocker today for the Givi Airflow. It took less than 30 minutes with this very helpful walk through. The air is much cleaner and quieter on all settings. I think I'll stick with the middle setting as to keep the top of the screen out of my eyeline. Thank you so much for posting the pictorial. I'm sure I could've figured it out, but there was zero guesswork involved thanks to you. I opted to NOT use the aluminum brackets due to my lack of drilling confidence. Thanks again.

| Im awaiting delivery of my airflow screen, hopefully any day now, I'll fit the metal brackets as I think they are there for a reason, and givi are the experts, honda dont use them on the stock screen, but the givi is bigger causing maybe a bit more stress on the brackets, also honda threaded the top framework for a reason. it will just give me piece of mind on windy days riding on the motorway. |

| Can someone post a good clear picture of where the brackets go on the Givi windscreens? I have the brackets and have not put them on yet but may do it. I have probably put close to 20,000 miles on without them. Old Dave in Western Nebraska |

| Have a look at the first post in this thread: https://www.silverwing600.com/t46-givi-windshield-installation-pictorialDownload the pdf link. Then look at the pictures of the six grommets, three each side, which are marked 'Don't push hard on them'. Just below them are two set-screws. Remove them with an Allen-key and offer up and bolt on the brackets with the bent bit forwards - bolts marked '5' in the diagram marco's posted below. It is obvious, even to me, how they fit. Then check my last post in the linked thread about drilling the hole in the plastic using the front hole in the bracket as a guide. Although Givi's own instruction sheet is pretty naff, it does show all this. I promise you it's straight-forward - I did mine with written help (lots of it) from members, but no pictures.

| Thanks, Mark. I think I've made a mistake in my last post regarding the bolts. I will correct it -done.
I'd be very happy if someone checks my instructions.
As I said, it really is obvious how it all fits once the plastic's off. |

| I installed the brackets as I could think of no good reason not to AND I usually defer to the manufacturer recommendations. True that Honda did not have them on the OEM shield - but all can attest to the great amount of 'flex' in the OEM shield. I am convinced that the 'mouse ears' on the GIVI give the lower part great stability partly due to the reverse curve that they add - but this curve AND the increased area likely adds more force on the shield. There are probably more nuts, bolts, and screws on the SWing than are truly necessary - but I ask you if you leave some of them off when you reassemble your SWing to save a bit of time? |
