I am looking to purchase this screen. Has anyone bought this brand before as I do not know of it. How good is it compared to puig or givi?

not had a screen but got a bellypan off them. its well made, strong and perfect fit. the screws have rusted a little though so will be replacing them
I'm sane, honestly. . . I got a certificate to prove it!

My bike came with a powerbronze screen fitted. It is decent and offers good protection.

However, I have tried changing the settings and haven't yet managed to solve the wind buffeting at motorway speeds.
Incidentally, I took the screen off today and rode without and there was no buffeting at all - just a significant amount of breeze at 70mph+.
I'm considering buying one of the small sports screens as a solution, at least for the summer.

I'm 6'6 so not sure the big screens are suitable for someone my height. Any suggestions are welcome !!

For your hight, Givi Airflow is the only solution. I'm 6'2.5 and Givi Airflow was as well the only solution after money spent on two other screens. Later, I found out that lowering it gave better result, as Givi Airflow works on special patent, producing compressed air stream and shooting it vertically and lowering top screen produces higher pressure of vertical flow. I have it now on top holes of my Glee and screen adjustment +/- in the middle.

Bought a givi airflow from Ghostbikes in Preston.

What a difference, can ride visor open at 70mph on the motorway now and actually hear the sound of the bike rather than the wind.
It's not the prettiest of mods but certainly makes the ride a lot more comfortable.

Thanks for the advice!

Now you can play a bit with hight and find really perfect spot. It took me a while to find it. It now sits mounted on top holes and sliding screen +/- in the middle of the hight.
