Does anyone has experience with Givi winshield for SM650.

https://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/49209

How does it compare to the Royal Enfield one (KXA00224)?

I'm 5'11" and I am wondering which one would cause less wind buffeting.

Thanks for any advice.

I can tell ya :  I've got the RE shield and its 16" from headlight cut-out to the top of the windshield with a slight upward curve at the top , and its 18" wide.   Also the mounting system is non-adjustable but solid.

I'm 5'10" w/32" inseams and ride w/open-face helmet & sunglasses.   The shield is barley tall enough for me.
I'd think ... if your 34" inseams and 5'11" then it would work for ya as good or better than mine fits me.  ???

I see the Givi shield is a little shorter.    The up-turn at the top of the RE shield makes a big difference.  :)

I'm averaging 65mpg-US gallon with this shield.   :) :)

Thanks for your reply.

I'm 5'11" with the same 32" inseams, so I should expect some wind hitting the top of my helmet with RE windshield.

I think the best option is to have RE one with some extension attached if needed.

I started with the GIVI screen but changed to the official touring screen. Just too much buffeting from the GIVI and I'm only 5ft7in.

Thanks, folks.
Oficial RE screen looks like the best option here.

Buffeting/wind noise from screens  - a nightmare in my experience.

I run a dart classic on mine, its only good for keeping bugs off of the jacket. I imagine givi will do the same. Wear earplugs if you don't already. The wind noise drowns out the pipes too.

I always wear earplugs when riding.

End up buying RE screen with Oxford windshield deflector.

- and how is it for buffeting/turbulence/wind noise whatever you want to describe it ?
cheers
ps sorry , just realised you don't have the 350. I have the 350 classic so things might be different re wind noise.
