Title: Large windshield for V7 850?
Post by: JohninVT on April 24, 2022, 04:02:56 PM

What’s the largest windshield anyone has mounted on the new V7?  I’m looking around and want something taller than the Guzzi offerings.  I think I want a 4 point mount and something that provides decent weather protection and wind management.  TIA!

I have a National Cycle Street Shield EX, 4-point mount.  Not LARGE by any stretch of the imagination, but it's passable.
It would be nice to have a much larger windshield.

Mike's looks pretty large.

He wears a half helmet so it must provide a toy of wind protection.

I just installed a Givi A34 windscreen on my 850 special. Works pretty well at decreasing force of wind, little buffeting, but still quite a bit of wind noise. It comes only in smoke, and the fitment kit is a bit of a challenge. I plan to add an Xcreen to the top to see if that reduces noise. I had purchased a Guzzi screen when I bought the bike; looks great but doesn't work well for me over 60 mph.

The A34 is one I was curious about.  Do you have any pictures of it mounted?  Thanks!

That looks pretty good!  Is there enough adjustment to rake it back a little to reduce turbulence?

Yes, can be adjusted. I am still playing with it.
