Convert or T3 windshield selections
« on: November 22, 2016, 10:38:37 PM »
Hi all, I have a question regarding which windshield I should consider for my Convert. I'm 5'11" and my after-market Givi screen seems too low and directs the wind straight up into my head, if I duck a little it's great but it's an uncomfortable riding position.

I see a couple of MG suppliers stock windshields but which one should I select, I like the original Italian style but I can only see it sold in the tinted version (I'd prefere clear). The other one I found is the police style screen but is it high enough to escape the wind buffeting and do they attach to Convert/T3's?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks, John.

I'm thinking that by the time you sift through all the dependencies, your question will answer itself.

Me, I'd slap a windjammer on a 70s Cali.  It's what's for dinner.   :thumb:

I'll be putting an SP upper fairing on my Convert.

I enjoyed a Street Shield EX for three season on the shorter flatter bars....off the chest, a bit on the helmet but not much buffeting, stock seat leaning forward a touch

With the big police bars...Windjammer to complete the Barco Lounger approach, sit back, put out your feet, turn on the stereo, little coffee cup, compass, gps, tank bag with roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, six guests in the DB bags, a nice French red, Heidi Klum on the back, stewardesses...you know, the usual kitchen sink

Thanks guys, both the recomendations are very similar to the screen I already have. I want to try and go back to the bike's traditional look.

-I'll still argue that the 'traditional' look is a Jammer.  (although I'd be seen behind an SP if I could get matching bags)
