Has anyone fitted a genuine Moto Guzzi large screen to their V100? If so any chance of a photo of it what it looks like fitted please?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hi Paul,

The screen is 450mm tall and pretty thick compared to other aftermarket screens. I’ve used it for about six months now and am generally impressed in most regards.

I’m 5’6” tall and whilst it doesn’t block all the wind, it gives me the quietest, least turbulent airflow of any screen I’ve ever experienced when set about half way up the range of adjustment.

It does give me issues in winter, as the screen doesn’t keep the road muck off my visor at all, so I end up wiping my visor very, very frequently. For winter I’m exploring aftermarket options like the Powerbronze, Puig, Givi and CalSci screens, just for winter use to keep the muck off the visor. The Guzzi touring screen will be back on my bike as soon as Spring comes round.

Hi Manalishi,

That’s great, thanks for taking the time to upload the photo and your recommendation. I think i’ll probably order one and see how it goes. I’m 5’ 10" and the normal screen doesn’t seem to be much different up or down, if anything I’d say it’s slightly better down. However my son who’s 6’ 2" says it’s great in the up position for him.

Cheers,
Paul

Paul, in my opinion screens are not only very ‘personal’ (what you perceive works for you) but also situational (speed, wind direction and speed etc).

The best ‘guide’ to choosing the right screen size that I’ve found is on this USA screen makers website.

CalSci make three (4?) sizes of Mandello screens for $185 or more, plus $90 postage, plus import duties, plus 20% VAT on the total of these. The low ‘Sport’ screen is about 540mm tall. Their screens are 4.5mm thick and tested with a .22 rifle plus thousands of miles riding to refine the screens aerodynamics….they claim. They’re USA Dept of Transport approved.

Puig’s after market Touring screen is 550mm tall, 4mm thick, tested to German TUV Homolgation standards. It costs c£100 plus postage.

Givi do a very large touring screen which is not homolgated for riding in German roads (thin acrylic screen MAY be the reason, not sure).

Powerbronze do three sizes of screen, the largest about 560mm I think, but only 3mm thick and no mention of testing or homolgation that I’ve found so far.

I hope this helps.
