Help with screen needed for a GS500E

[nickhlx]

I got my daughter a late GS500E, as it was one of the bikes that fitted her best and she felt comfortable with, but now she's done a few miles on it, she hates the constant wind blast and wants a screen to divert as much as possible around her.

Can anyone tell me the options please ?  Regret I know little about the bike, other than it seems full of character.  Do people with the "F" faired option take the fairing off and try to get rid of it ?  Does the screen on this work well ?  She may go for a faired bike, but she's really got attached to this one now, as we all do..

Thanks,

Nick

pkaaso in the for sale section is selling a cowl with brackets

that could be something youre looking for. if not, there are aftermarket fairings that you can check out here at the gstwin wiki

i bought a ducati cowl/windscreen from another member on this site and im working to make brackets for it to go on my 89. good luck!

you can also try finding a style you like and fabricating it to the GS.

Hey I bought the F-16 SPORT SHIELD and I love it; really gives it a nice look. I found one on ebay, but this site sells them too.

If you want pictures let me know and I can post them later.

Hi,
I have an American Cycle F-15 shield, which is wider and taller without being huge.
It gives great protection.
I've had it for a couple years and like it very much.
The F-16 is way too small if you want real wind protection.
Here is the F-15:

Good luck,

Thanks guys,

That was quick ! - The National Cycle company caught my eye as I have their V-Stream on my FJR, which is quite big, but protects you well in torrential rain, as I discovered coming up through Spain and France to the UK.

I have had a look at all the suggestions - The F15 Tour seems a possibility - Is anyone wanting to sell theirs ?

I should have said we are in the UK, but I have got parts from the USA in the past and usually carriage is not too bad - prefer any UK available stuff as likely to be quicker / less postage.

Thanks again,

Nick

Had a screen off these before, good quality but not cheap.http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/Screens_for_Naked_Bikes.html
