Yes I rode from Maryland to Utah, Arizona and back in my FTR, I really thought it was a mistake the first day out but man I had to stop for gas so frequently that it gave me time to stretch and walk around a little, the givi windshield did excellent had no wind issues at all, next will be a set of Nelson Riggs throw over saddle bags, I saw one FTR with them and looked good and I can get rid of my 20 bungee cords back pack and bag.

I've got a 2022 Carbon and was looking for a small windscreen. Decided on the Puig "Naked New Generation" windscreen. When ordering from the Revzilla website it said it wouldn't fit my 22 Carbon, ordered it anyway and....it didn't fit. Mounting uses the upper triple clamp bolt holes to attach a powder coated bracket to the bike. The holes in the screen are too narrow to fit the brackets once installed on the bike. They're only off by 1/2 inch or so but still no go. I procured a 1/4" drill bit for acrylic and drilled holes that fit. Came out well , just took a couple of plastic screws to fill the unused holes , may pick up a couple of 1/4' hole covers if it bothers me too much. Will give it a ride tomorrow to assess the effectiveness.

I´m currently using the Puig one but over 180 Km/h it just disappears and the wind hit really hard, could you tell me more about the givi model etc?

I use the GIVI 16 inch handle bar mount model ,can’t remember the model # but this works great I tried them all because I was going Coast to Coast and knew I would get stuck in the rain one day which I did and a wind storm in Utah works perfect

I'M still searching. No disrespect, but I don't like the looks of current offerings. Suppose I'll just ride naked, but is a drag. Have touring bikes if I need to go long.

It's supposed to be a flat tracker..why would you fit a windshield? Genuinely confused. Not trolling.
Maybe he wants to take a long trip, I put one on my bike when I road it Coast to Coast and glad I did because I ran into rain and a sand storm in Utah, they pop on and off real easy it’s not a big deal
