Title: SORTED!
Post by: Easty39 on May 03, 2011, 18:11:42
Hi
Just wanted to up date you all as I asked for some feed back with ref to Puig screen. I have just had one delivered from Germany, fitted it and what a GREAT result. 100mph with visor up! No buffetting or noise. 6ft tall with 2010 K9 wee - Screen in mid position. HAPPY DAYS NO WIND!    :lala:

That seems to be a fix find my sport screens OK but might give the puig a go have you got a thread or part or model number for me Regards Jed.

+1 for part number. I'm only 5'9" but still a bit fed up of buffeting when behind vehicles waiting to get past!

How about some pics from a few angles to see what it looks like on the bike?

Wow, that looks really tall on the bike, even higher than my Givi barn door I put on in the winter (I set it so I can just see over it.)

ps. It's too clean, it's bug collecting season!

It is a bit to high I am going to drop it to the lower setting and see how I get on.

PS She gets a clean after every trip out! Same as the car I am always out there cleaning something! :text-givemebeer:

last year with my 125, as it was getting sold as soon as I passed DAS, got cleaned after every ride out, but after a while I realised the wee looks good with a bit of dirt and bugs, and I'm collecting bugs to show off to GS riders!  :neen:

screen looks good, but I'm going to stick with the standard screen myself, thinking about a Madstad. the old mans deauville has a barn door, and it's damn quiet but then I get very bored with the exhaust note! anyone want to let me have a go of a bike with madstad? lol

Bumhead had a Puig screen on his Vee until last year. He found it very good but had to change it as it cracked around the mounting holes. Its quite a big thing so takes a lot of wind blast on it. Might be worthwhile trying to spread the load around the mounting screws with some washers, if possible.  :shrug:

I will have a look at this as it sounds possible this could be a problem. Thanks.
