I've got a slightly modified Givi windshield on my MP3 250ie. I dont know it its because the previous owner shortened it, its designed that way, or something is broken/missing, but its insanely wobbly at highway speeds. It annoys me a lot.

I've ridden a few MP3s with Givi windshields, if fact i dont recall ever riding one that didnt have a givi windshield, and i've never noticed this on them.

I've removed and refitted the windshield a number of times without any improvement. I'm looking at creating some sort of support like the OEM large window has. Anyoen tried something similar?

ohh, tell me more! I wasnt aware there was a bracket for the givi windshields. I had resigned myself to hacking something together.

Years ago the Givi on my 400 would bend over on a hot day.

I made a post out of a wood dowel. The top end fastened to the inside of the windshied with a rubber suction cup and the bottom screwed to the top surface of the dashboard. It was only about 5 inches long and mounted in the center.

There was no shaking or vibration with it fitted into place.

I have had both... The one you are complaining about and the OEM one from your link. I trashed the Givi, and went with the OEM one which is way better on the MP3/250 or MP3/400 where it will fit.

I also have the OEM one on my 2016 MP3/500 Sport ABS.
