Get a different one!
I can't stand that bikini shield any longer and am hunting around for a good alternative myself.
Early morning commutes @ <40 deg F for ~40 miles = very cold person when getting to work...
When you find a good solution let me know!

I've got the Givi on my 01 but I'm not that impressed with it. Have you read the windshield FAQ over at the chain gang site?

Have been riding a 650GS here in New Zealand for a couple of weeks. Frogg Toggs will keep you dry but you definitely need a windshield to keep the rain off you helmet visor.

Cee Bailey makes a good one for the F650 CS. I have one and like it.

Best from down under.

I cut all but the last little bit of lip of a Dakar windshield ('03) and it improved things dramatically. But I'm also not looking for perfect airflow, or really anything near it, I just wanted my helmet to stop moving around.

As far as function is concerned, the Parabellum is great. A little funky looking at first, I actually got used to it and remembered that BMWs can be a little funky looking too. Great coverage but does have an effect on fuel mileage. I take mine off in warm weather and it fits just fine with the Dakar shield, meaning I don't have to change that when I put it on or take it off.

I just went over to my Dealer and he had a used 05 Dakar shield.

better, but not great.

I have one by Airflow on my ST that provides a lot of wind protection without degrading performance that will probably be a good choice.
