The body difference with mine having the instrument cluster on the handle bars and separate from the main front body makes a big difference in what's available. There is one that looks similar but it's a european version and you have to remove the turn signals. Mine has turn signals in the body that are not used in this country. I'm just not that motivated right now to get into the job of a switch/conversion. It would then not technically pass state inspection. Right now I'm fine without a windshield/screen.

CVT Tuning?

Just wondering if anyone does tuning to the CVT. Opened mine up recently and now understand how it works. Saw pictures and read descriptions but now have first hand experience. Don't know if I really want to change anything just wondering.

My reason for more wind protection is for use during cold weather. I'm not saying you don't get cold weather in your part of Florida but my experience in traveling there is not as much as here in the Dallas area. Add in wind chill riding in the open and a mildly cold day gets colder. Any way I think I might just get both windshield and windscreen and install with the change of season. That way I can taylor my wind preference from none to full and take advantage from full to no protection!

Where does the wind coming over the Puig hit on you? I know it helps performance but how is the wind protection? The only other screen I've found for this scooter is one that is called a universal 50 but it is listed as for Kymcos. It is 5 inches higher. Does it come down to choosing for performance or protection?

Looked into the Puig screen. I was able to find a distributor near me but nothing at any of several online suppliers. I'll contact the distributor Monday. The Puig is smaller in height and width than the Slipstreamer universal 50 series and it is tinted "smoke". Don't know where I stand on the look over or look through a windshield or the smoke color. I don't really see why it has to be tinted other than for a certain more racing look. As usual it seem to come down to two choices.

Hello All, I'm trying to find a windshield for my recently purchased scooter. Found two. One says I must remove my front American style turn indicators up by the handle bars. I have two other turn indicators not hooked up in the body down lower. The windshield supplier says I have to hook those up. I wondering how hard that will be plus then I'm not totally legal. The second windshield is a "universal" fit that the guy from the supplier said might fit. He was not totally sure. This is kind of a rare scooter so these are the only options I've found so far. Any ideas?
