2016 v-strom screen replacement
« on: May 05, 2025, 18:12:39 »
I've been trying to source a a givi airflow for my bike but finding it a tad difficult. There's plenty of the touring ones available, would they make a difference with buffeting?
 I've looked on eBay they either won't fit or the postage is horrendous.

2016 is when it was registered,  do you know the model number? E.G. L6?

I can't speak for the 650 but I had the Givi touring straight screen for my 1000 and it was bad, mega buffeting at 70 +, almost as bad as the Suzuki touring screen which was awful.  Quickly sold it and got an airflow which was much much better. I'd save the money for the airflow or an MRA.

Hmmmm. Apparently you need the AF3101B- .Givi website says it is "in manufacturing". But the standard AF3101 is listed as fitting L2 - L6. Odd. Anyone here got an Airflow on an L6? What model screen did you buy?

Interesting.  This is the one I got.  Suggestes 2016 should be fine?

AF3101 definitely fits on my late L5 model. Just over £100 if I remember, had mine since 2016 though.
