Touratech Desierto 3 Fairing, BMW F800GS / F650GS-Twin
Model/Year:
Transform the look, feel, and attitude of your BMW F800GS or F650GS Twin with the Desierto 3 fairing from Touratech. With its rally inspired design and adjustable windscreen you get all the benefits of a much larger windscreen with none of the drawbacks.
The special aerodynamic design of the D3 creates a smooth laminar airflow over the fairing and windscreen . Laminar airflow means smoother air hitting or passing over your helmet, eliminating annoying wind noise and buffeting. This is especially effective with dual-sport helmets like the Arai XD or Shoei Hornet. You can easily adjust the height and angle of the airflow to suit you with the easy to access adjustment nuts.
Touratech designers spent many hours perfecting the look of the Desierto III fairing and making sure it matched the lines of the stock BMW F800 and F650GS Twin. The look of the fairing is obviously rally inspired, giving you a taste of the Dakar every time you hop on the bike for a ride.
Mounting of the Desierto fairing requires no drilling, cutting, or modification to your BMW, so you can take it back to a stock look at any time. All necessary hardware is included for the installation.
"... the most functional bit of wind/weather protection you can bolt onto the [F800] GS... Touratech's adjustable Desierto 3 windscreen makes the GS cockpit a much more pleasant place on the freeway without getting in my way anywhere else. And unlike some nonspecific polycarbonate slab, it looks good."
Tim Carrithers, Motorcyclist Magazine
Distance from the top of the windscreen to the lower fairing tip just above headlight can be varied between 15.5-17.75 inches.
We recommend pairing this fairing with the Touratech Cockpit Cover to fill in the gap above the smaller headlight on the F800/650 twin.

I love the way my bike looks with the Desierto. The improvement in the airflow was quite noticeable especially at freeway speeds. I found that I needed to tighten the knobs down with a Leatherman's tool when riding off-road to keep them from rattling loose. I like dropping the windscreen down to the lowest setting for riding on dirt. It helps keep it away from your helmet in the bumpy stuff.

When I rode home on my new 2012 F650GS, the one big thing I remember thinking was... "This little windscreen is worthless!" Already planning my first long ride, I had to pick a replacement quickly. Important factors: function; cost and appearance. Being at the top of the cost scale by a good margin did not excite me, but the other choices did not appeal nearly as much. So, five months and four thousand miles later, I am very happy with theDesierto 3. Yes, it is expensive, but so is my bike. The biggest point is that it works for me.

Awesome windscreen, usual high quality product that I've come to expect from Touratech, offers a huge range of adjustments that actually make a difference and I can finally here my Bluetooth on the highway instead of wind noise. I wish I had purchased this windscreen sooner instead of trying 3-4 options before this where I wound up spending more money on non-adjustable windscreens that don't work in a variety of conditions. I would recommend this product to anyone with a F650/F800 GS!

I had suffered long enough with the "credit card" windshield on my f650 twin. All I can say is that after installing the Desierto 3 my bike at 65 mph + was a great experience - cutting the buffeting down where I can enjoy highway speeds. I hoped the fairing would reduce the wind, but it surpassed my expectations. And it looks awesome!

Great productâ¦Installed it on my bike 10 months ago. It has survived a few bad crashes and continues to serve its purpose by protecting me from wind, bugs and road debris! The only negative feedback is the brackets attaching the windscreen to the black plastic base are losing the protective black powder coating. Not sure if they will rust?
