Larger windshield for BMW R 1300 GS and Adventure | 433 × 432 mm compared with the original 370 × 335 mm, 4 mm polycarbonate

The manufacturer publishes both measurements: the standard panel is 370 mm high by 335 mm wide, while this one is 433.5 by 431.9. So it is about six centimeters taller and almost ten centimeters wider.

The width is the difference you notice most: it diverts the airflow from your shoulders, not just your head.

Yes. The manufacturer lists the BMW R 1300 GS from 2023 and the R 1300 GS Adventure from 2024: the same code covers both because the windshield mounting area is the same.

It reduces them, and that should be said honestly: the manufacturer documents its tests with a rider who is 180 cm tall. How much airflow reaches your helmet depends on your height, your riding position, and the helmet you wear.

No windshield can guarantee the same result for everyone: very tall riders may find that the airflow still reaches the visor, while shorter riders will notice a clear change.

Transparent if you often ride at night, at dawn, or through tunnels: visibility through the panel does not change. Smoked, listed in the selector as Light Grey, if you want to reduce glare without darkening it too much.

Dark, listed in the selector as Dark Grey, looks best on a dark motorcycle but is also the one with the least visibility through it. Keep in mind that with the windshield in the high position, you look through it, not over it.

Yes. The windshield mounts to the original mounting points, and the motorcycle’s adjustment mechanism remains the standard one, with the same range of travel.

No. The original windshield is removed and this one is installed at the same mounting points, reusing the motorcycle’s hardware. No drilling or modifications.

The manufacturer does not specify tightening torques: use BMW’s original torque value for the screws you reinstall. Keep the stock panel so you can switch back whenever you want.

Polycarbonate is tougher: it absorbs an impact by flexing instead of shattering like acrylic does. On a panel hit by stones and insects at ninety miles per hour, that is the difference between a mark and a crack.

Polycarbonate scratches more easily on its own, which is why the surface here is treated with a scratch-resistant hard coating.

The panel is 4 mm thick, but the upper edge is increased to 5.5 mm and rounded. This serves two purposes: it stiffens the part that vibrates most at high speeds and prevents a sharp edge from facing the driver.

It is a detail that is barely noticeable when looking at the photos, but it distinguishes a designed panel from one that was merely cut.

Less. A taller and wider windshield performs best on trips and highways, where you remain seated. Standing on the foot pegs, it enters your field of vision instead of staying out of the way, and for technical off-road riding many prefer a low screen.

If you alternate between the two uses, keep the original windshield: it can be removed again in just a few minutes.

Plenty of water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth. Always wet the surface before wiping: rubbed-in dry dust acts as an abrasive and is the quickest way to dull a windshield.

Avoid solvents, alcohol, degreasers, and rough cloths: they attack the polycarbonate and damage the surface coating.
