The GIVI windscreen is identical to JF (Five Stars), both are *NOT* for large
drivers! I first bought the Five stars screen. Riding faster than 70 km/h
results in *VERY* noisy turbulances. These were realy unbearable, after a 5
hour trip I seriously thougt that I loose my ability to hear. :o((((
Next, I remounted the original screen again, investgating the market. After
several phone disapointing phonecalls, I found a manufacturer, who *knows*
about that problem and who makes screens with a "spoiler". I instantly ordered
that piece, hoping that I receicve it before my tour beginning on friday.
