Help...Givi Screen lugs sheared!

[Irlanski]

Hi All,

Just returned from 9,600Km trip to Odessa and Belarus! The Givi screen blew back to a steep angle towards me in Poland. I stopped to investigate only to find that of the two plastic right angle lugs mounted about 4" apart just above the headlamp unit one had sheared and the bolt from the other lug had found its way out. I ended up tie wrapping the the screen via those screen holes above the headlamp unit down to the bar below the headlamp in order to keep the screen upright.

And so I am wondering whats the minimum I can get away with replacing? Beause the lug sheared it means there is still plastic left in the screen frame. Can I get the plastic lugs alone and push them into the frame once the reminants of the old one are removed or do I need a new frame with lugs or what?

Where do I go the get the best price for the parts?

Help really appreciated....

You might be able to get less parts to do the job but the Tobinators are metal, easy to fit and will provide a complete fix for you.

The plastic lugs are actually BMW bits, and support the origional screen. My mates sheared when he tried to free them up (they have long shafts that fit inside metal bracket) and he had to buy a full screen fitting kit which includes the screen adjustor bolts etc as well. Bit pricey I believe.

Absolutely - they are made of plastic and break easily. The Tobinator kit is made of metal and replaces only the lugs - permanent fix for under £30! The kit I linked to will also stop screen vibration as well which may had contributed to the earlier failure.

I had the same problem about 3 years ago, and at that time I managed to buy a metal version of the original plastic brackets, which I think were made by Wunderlich.

Unfortunately, I can't find those, and Wunderlich's advance search system on the site I'm looking at is utterly shyte. However here's one possibility...

Lovely job... looks like those will do the trick. Sorry about the late reply - clocked up 1600K in the last 4 days. Tie wraps broke twice so Tobinators on the way.
