Been reading a lot of threads but most are older so wondering if people have updates, complaints, raves, etc about their windscreen on a Desert Sled?

I need to buy one. My work commute is 15 miles down a 2 lane highway, mostly straight. My ride to riding areas in western CO can be a lot of very windy (esp in summer - up to 60 mph blasts as the air heats up next to the mountains) long commutes on 2 lane highways so looking for something to keep the wind fatigue off my chest and calm the buffeting.

I'm 6'2"

From what I've seen most people are happy with the Dart flyscreen. Still the case?

I'm the same height and ride a DS. I use the Dart windscreen and it definitely takes the edge off. Don't expect any miracles but the air is definitely less turbulent. I sometimes sit a little further back along the seat and lean forward slightly to get in the sweet spot when on the motorway for a while.

I think givi do a super tall one but obviously down to aesthetic preference

I bought a cheap Chinese copy of the dart screen and have found it really good. I'm only 6 ft tall and I think it give me a good 10mph extra comfort at motorway speeds.

I have a Dart on my Scrambler and it’s effective and recommended; looks good as well. I added a Puig ‘Deflector for Windshields’ mainly because I didn’t want to drill into the Dart. This decreased the wind blast tremendously. I very highly can vouch for the combination.

Oh nice, I've been wondering about that combination

Thank you for sharing.

Any chance of posting a photo of the Dart wind screen with the deflector?

I started with the Dart screen. Too small for me , I'm 6'4. I then got a Touratech screen, better but still too small. The airflow which came right into my throat with the Dart, now came into my eyes, which is uncorfortable.
Here is a picture of the deflector on a screen similar to the Touratech, since the Touratech has a liitle lip at the top, so you cant add a deflector.

The deflector helps, and is ajustable, but not very large.
I ended selling all these, and got a GIVI Airflow.
Now I can drive in the rain without being wet ! I still can see over the top of the screen. Perfect for me, and no big drag on the handlebars.

Very happy with it !

Hello! Could you tell me which windscreen is this one exactly? You say it is a screen similar to the Touratech one but I can't find which one it is.

Thanks in advance!

 

[bill77]

This was a screen I had custom made, similar in shape to the Touratech, but bigger.

That looks really good! Is that the Givi universal AF49 windscreen?

 

[bill77]

Yes, the Givi universal AF49.
exactly.
You can slide down the top part if needed with a flick of two little levers.

I put the MRA windscreen on.
Provides a little more protection than nothing.
It’s still small enough that it’s easy to use off road

Hello,
I am new in forum and also in scrambler world.
I own a 2020 icon.
I have a little question about givi airflow universal AF49, I'm really interested in that windshield but I have some doubts about installing it. Especially, the size (diameter) of the rings for the fork tubes. Givi says it's 45 mm rings.
Did you have any hard times to install it? Like the rings are too small for the fork? Or it fits good?
Thanks,
Ride safe and greatings from France...
Doruk

 

[bill77]

No problem installing it on my Desert Sled, the rings for the fork tubes if I remember look a bit like Serflex, but they do the job.
The "hardest" was to adjust the symetry of the screen, but it did not affect the handling of the bike
I ride in France too...

 

[Doruk]

Wow, i didn't expect to have a such quick answer, thank you very much. I will very probably order one very soon then. I had one airflow on my old v strom and it was amazing.
Maybe we cross one day in french roads.
Cheers.
Doruk
