| I just ordered the 5 Way Adjustable Vent for my Givi windshield only because after ridding a G/W that had one, on a very hot day, I knew there must be a way to cut and install it on my bike. After talking to the Clearview people 3 times and all three times there response was honest and the same. "9 out of 10 people fail and end up buying a new windshield" from them. I spent much time on line looking at people that cut down there Givi windshields and so I know that the cut can be made without ruining the screen. Next week I find out if I am the 1 out of 10. wish me luck. |

| I did it. The job turned out great. The whole project took about 3 and a half hr. I took some picture but don't know how to copying them on to this web site. Went for a quick ride and noticed a a big difference in the noise around the helmet and could feel a lot of air blowing in through the center bottom of the windshield. The vent was $80.00 and the 60 tooth blade used in my Dremel tool was $15.00. I had, a heat gun and the Dremel so those don't count as far as price goes. I did have to use 3-M two sided tape to take up a small openings after bending both pieces. |

| It's good to know you got the Clearview vent fitted without damaging the big Givi screen and were confident in your ability to do it, nice one. |

Thank you Sir. In a few hr. I will be going out with the Old Farts for our weekly ride and I will get a chance to see and feel the Clearview in action. Again, thank you for the tip on where to find it. |
