    If you have this, tell me about it, please.

    The pic shows it in comparison to the stocker Gen8, which it is made for. One with an additional deflector up top is shown also.

    Tough getting an opinion. The Puig touring model is shorter and narrower than the racing model according to the specs on their website. What's with that

    Not true...I have the racing model on my bike. It's clearly smaller (435mm tall VS 540mm for the touring). FYI, mine did make a minor difference in wind compared to stock. I'm 5'8 with my seat in the high position, and the wind hits me somewhere around the neck area with this screen. I would think that big touring one would be just what you're looking for. Plus it has that optional visor for even more effect.
    Keep in mind, with the way they mount, I would be worried about doing triple digit speeds with that touring model. FWIW, I have done over 130 with my racing model with no problems.

    Avoid the touring screen like the plague. Mine was on for 100 miles too long ..

    totally wrong my ST screen is the best in the world-unless it's really hot, try every one then use the best one-I have a lot. I am a perfect Supwer bean with a IQ way over !75. Fuk you

    too little airflow? vibrations?

    i think it looks ugly as balls, but i'm weighing my options.

    Have the puig touring screen with the wind deflector. Bought this because I have used puig on other bikes and have been impressed by them.

    Sadly this time it was a mistake. The flip up as far as I was concerned was about as much use as a chocolate fire guard and didn't appear to make a blind bit of difference above 70 mph.

    The whole trailing edge ( edge nearest rider) was in continual movement at speeds above 70 mph which had the effect of rattling the helmet so much so that the vision was blurred. Didn't find there was any added protection over the std screen it's certainly not suitable for touring. It had done my head in after 100 miles. And I was dreading the return journey. It lasted a few hundred more miles with the flip up in various positions In a vain attempt to help me come to terms with it.

    Sadly not the screen was removed and is languishing in it box at the back of the garage.

    The original is back on.

    I have to disagree. There are things in life that can be done or discovered but once. Two examples are Neil Armstrong's first footsteps on the moon and finding that SOW is the perfect asshole.

    So, I finally got the puig race screen. For the bike's stock ergos, and my, 5'10",I get a little air at the top of the helmet. Which is perfect. I can tuck under completely, by scooting all the way back. Or sit up and enjoy a lot less wind in the face.

    Rsparky - can you post some photos of you Puig race screen from front and side angles. I'm looking at getting one and trying to decide if I should pull the pin or not.

    Thanks

    Ask and ye shall receive. Upload straight from my phone, so I'm pretty sure they'll be significantly compressed. Hopefully they retain some detail.

    Thanks for the pics. It sticks up quite a bit higher than OEM. I can see where the dark tint could be a problem at night.
