Full details

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this windscreen?

The primary benefit is the significant reduction of helmet turbulence and wind pressure on the shoulders, leading to increased comfort on longer rides and at higher speeds.

What material is the windscreen made from?

The windscreen is made from high-quality, 4.5mm thick PMMA plexiglass.

Is this windscreen compatible with models other than the 2006-2012 R 1200 GS?

No, this specific model is designed for the BMW R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure from the years 2006 through 2012.

Will this windscreen improve passenger comfort?

Yes, the design offers greater protection for the passenger by managing airflow more effectively, contributing to a more comfortable journey.

How do I clean the windscreen properly?

Clean using a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the plexiglass.

What is the height of this windscreen?

The windscreen has a height of 50 cm (approximately 19-3/4 inches).

Does the windscreen come with mounting hardware?

The product description does not specify if mounting hardware is included. It is recommended to check with the retailer or reuse the original mounting hardware if compatible.

Troubleshooting

Windscreen vibrates excessively at speed.

Check that all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Ensure there is no damage to the mounting brackets or the windscreen itself. If the issue persists, consider adding rubber washers between the bolts and the windscreen for dampening.

Poor visibility through the windscreen.

Clean the windscreen thoroughly with a soft cloth and appropriate cleaner. Ensure you are correctly positioned on the motorcycle for optimal line of sight over the top edge. The 50cm height may require adjustment in rider posture.

Difficulty aligning mounting holes during installation.

Loosely attach all bolts first, then gradually tighten them. Slight adjustments to the windscreen's position may be necessary. Ensure no aftermarket accessories are interfering with the mounting points.
