Parabellum windshield arrived today (pictures inside)

[bloke]

My Parabellum screen arrived today and as usual Charley and the gang did a top notch job, I have bought a couple of screens from them in the past and always been very very happy from the fit to the quality its 100%, i asked for a wider screen than my givi and a little taller and that's what i got, I went for the version without the bar riser cut outs since i don't have them and i also went for the clear, they make a couple different sizes too,
check them out at http://www.parabellum.com/ tell them Bloke sent ya, it wont get you a discount but its nice for them to know I appreciate them ::008::

check it out

Looks great. How are the optics vs. the OEM. I really struggle looking through the OEM windshield with all of its distortion. Care to reveal how much it set you back? Do we just tell them we want the Bloke Special. I don't see it listed on their website. Thanks, sorry for all the questions.

 

[bloke]

not noticed anything with the optics but i didn't notice anything with the stock or givi shields i had before it, i just did a quick 30 mile run round the houses with the old lady on her bike (she also has a parabellum) and its night and day difference as far as noise etc, i can run with my visor open no problem which means i can wear my open face now when i want too!

yep just ask for the bloke special and see what happens lol seriously i think they only finished them up monday and shipped them yesterday so they may not have had time to add them to the site, send them an e mail or give them a shout on the phone tomorrow ::008::

 

[bloke]

oh and i grabbed the stock shield and put it over the parabellum (added blue painters tape to make it clear) and here's the difference

Awesome thanks for the info and the additional pic showing the comparison.

its not so much the length but the girth definitely helps ::013::

That's what she said... ::025::

 

[SisuTen]

I don't get it. Explain please ::025::

Sorry to hear about the complaints. My "windscreen" has never been complained about in either length or girth ::008::

I can't find anything about a shield for the S10 on the Parabellum website. Can you include a link to the S10 info?

 

[MotorcopBBQ]

::026:: on everything Bloke said. Been running a prototype for about three weeks and have about 600 miles behind it and it is a very quiet screen. No comment on the optics because I look over mine, probably 2" to 3" shorter than Blokes. I know it's not an accurate display bit my ave mpg on the dash has jumped up 3 mpg.

sorry guys it cost me right at 200 bucs, I think the shorter one maybe less and tinted a couple bucs more Im not sure, I do know Parabellum products are among the best out there and Charley the owner has been around doing this for quite some time and has his act together, 8 miles this morning on the interstate and i have to say its changed my bike completely!

Would you take some measurements from side to side at the top just before the curve, middle and bottom ears. Also what is the height from bottom to top? I am trying to see how this compares to the Calsi medium shield that I have now.
Thanks

I just got an email reply from Parabellum. Here's the scoop on the shield:


$199 clear

$209 tint (solar bronze)

20 inches (+2)
22 inches (+4)
24 inches (+6)

(stock is 18 inches)

The givi is 23"(+5") and $135...... a steal IMO. In clear only though.

I have the givi and its just not wide enough so causes more turbulence right in my face

I have the Calsi and it is too narrow also. I do have it on Greg's bracket so the height is ok.

I have the OEM wings and still get too much air on my shoulders for riding in the winter. Trying to find the correct shield can be a royal pain.
