Givi D1136ST vs Fabbri 3140/E-X face to face

Hello everyone,
it seems that some people are interested in the windscreen for the model 2015, so I prepared a little face-to-face Givi vs Fabbri.

Construction: Givi has done better, more solid and fits perfectly; Fabbri vibrates more (perhaps due to the bigger size) and I had to force it a bit to mount. Fabbri looks a little more resistant to scratches.
Size and shape: Fabbri is bigger (71.5x63cm), better protects the head / shoulders and especially the hands, the shape is very boxy and is more vertical than Givi. Givi is smaller (63x43.5 cm), leaves uncovered hands and protects up to the shoulders (I am 183 cm high), compared to Fabbri is more rounded and more inclined.
Price: Givi was in the package when I took the pcx (in ebay is priced 44 Euro). Fabbri paid € 50.

I think Fabbri is better for the cold season (more protection but a little drag in top speed - I lost 1/2 kmh), while Givi I'll use it in the summer (less protection, more air in your face/hands and lessaerodynamic drag).
I also took some photos:

Very nice side by side comparison. The Fabri is very vertical and will probably cost a few mpg. The problem is retaining clearance for the mirrors. I actually bent my Givi back a little with a heat gun to make it even more aero and a little lower to get the noise away from my helmet. I then had to trim the corners to clear the mirrors though. I wish it had slightly more coverage at the hands like the big Givi and the Fabri.

I solved the problem by changing inclination of the handlebar and brake levers.

And, yes, I lost about 1,5 km/l.

Do you look through the Fabri screen? Or over it? What is it like in the rain? I prefer to have a wind screen that I look just over the top of and within just a few inches of my visor. I have tried this on three different motorcycles and the effect is the same. I get a blow dryer effect whereby the wind curls straight down my face shield, beading the rain and blowing it down, resulting in perfect vision without needing to constantly wipe my visor.

I look over it.
In the rain it protects quite good hands and up to the shoulders;
it also makes the same blow dryer effect yours shield makes.
