Givi AF on the way, Puig and MRA don't work (Glee)

Cheers, that's the sort of info I need   Already changed the mirrors so think I'll go with the Givi before I spend any more money. Roll on payday  

Strange how screens are so 'individual', the stock one on my tiger didn't need any alteration at all and it goes a little faster ( ) than the glee.

Just to make it clear, I'm talkig here about Givi Airflow AF3101.

@bosnjo: The wind flaps thing sounds intriguing. Any pictures? I can't picture them in my mind, so would be nice to have a look at some. Thanks!

I'm following instructions from here, there is a lot to read:

but I'm going to make one more fixing point for each flap, as I don't like them being fixed on one point only.

Just tried tilting in all directions and playing with spacers, and, whatever I tried it made a lot of buffeting. So, the angle chosen by Givi is obviously perfect, no need to mess with it.

1st owner of my Glee sent me a pair of these. He reckoned they were great. I got in touch with him to find out what sort of use the Glee had had since new - and to ask what the holes in the fairing were for! I thought they were standard as its a really neat job and they are filled with the same rubber bungs as Suzuki use on the rest of the Bike.The deflectors have a crack in them but holes are already in the Glee to fit them so will try shortly and report back. If they work then I'll remake some following the pattern. Watch this space.
Bosnjo - you are a hero for going through all this. If I change the screen - Airflow it is! Thanks

Basically, the ones I found in the other forum only use one fixing on existing fairing screw. If I receive all material before weekend, I'll make them at Sunday. I intend to use rubber edge too, as well as one extra fixing point.

I thought just to do a little update.
Lower screen is still on top holes. I'm yet to try another ones. But today, just out of curiosity, I tried lowering the top screen. I was riding, watching the screen and thinking; this screen is known for Givi's patent of "compression box" between two screens. The more you lower the top screen, the bigger gets overlapped area between screens and bigger gets compression box. So, as there was more air to be compressed and higher pressure from now bigger box, that may shoot the air even higher verticaly and give me even better result. So, I pulled over and lowered top screen just a notch bellow the middle of the sliders:
WOW, much better, much cleaner flow.
So, this Givi Airflow is like a toy, you just keep on playing with it... I will...

Had my Givi air flow on the glee since the summer. Fantastic! I,me 6` and have it on middle holes and 1" from lowest slide setting.
