12GSA winglets on a 1200GS

I installed a set of Adv winglets on my 12GS the other day and the difference is amazing! In combination with my (previously installed) Givi screen I would say the wind noise is maybe 1/4 of what it was.
They also eliminated the buffeting/vibration that I used to get from my helmet (HJC Symax).

Mounting was easy....just marked the holes and drilled. I used about 1 inch fender washers (just a large washer with a small hole) underneath to help distribute the forces on the fairing piece. Seems to be working fine, I can't notice any major flexing of the bodywork.

Has to be some of the best $45 I've ever spent. I can actually hear my motor now. OK, it wasn't that loud before but it is ALOT quieter now.

Part numbers are:
06 32 7 657 966 screw .80 x 4
46 61 2 308 594 washer .80 x 4
46 63 7 664 846 bushing $1.60 x 4
46 63 7 694 399 left wing $17.20
46 63 7 694 400 right wing $17.20

Barry,

How tall are you? Were you pleased with your Givi windshield on its own? I just installed a parabellum- I know its too tall for me, and will take a week or two to decide if I can live with it- or move onto something else.
Thanks!

I'm 5' 10". When I first ordered my Givi last fall it was too tall for me, I had a hard time seeing over it. I was able to find out that at some point Givi started making their screens taller by about 1 1/2". The guys at GiviUSA weren't even aware of the change but were able to locate one of the old style ones for me and do a swap and that one works pretty good but adding the winglets made things so much better it's like riding a different bike as far as wind noise/helmet buffeting are concerned. My Givi measures about 18.7" and they list them now at 20.2. That 1 1/2" was just enough to make the new ones too tall for me. However I've talked to someone else the same height as me and he says the new size Givi works ok for him as far as the height.
