Introduction

If, like me, you cover a lot of motorway miles on your Hornet, you will probably find that the constant buffeting from the wind quickly gets tiresome, and can quite literally be a pain in the neck. If so, you will want to fit a decent screen to shield you from the blast.

Most people tend to fit small flyscreens which do not extend much higher than the clocks, but I found that this didn't really help with the continuous wind-blast you get at motorway speeds. The Givi Airstars A620 provided the solution for me. This screen gives good wind and weather protection, and is extremely strong. When correctly fitted, with all the bolts fully tightened, the screen will not move at all, even in the strongest of winds.

This tutorial explains how to fit a Givi Airstars A620 windscreen to an unfaired Hornet CB600F. The photo shows what mine looks like so you can get an idea of whether you will like it or not before you buy one.
