Puig Plus Screen

[emptysea]

I do not like my Puig Plus. As a reminder, I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam. I rode 500 miles with it yesterday (In 12 hours, which my clever friends on Facebook have named "Tin Can" as 1/2 of an Iron Butt).

Quality/finish: excellent. Puig's screens are well-built and the two I have owned installed very easily without a lot of instruction, which is good, because the included instructions are, ummm, minimalist.

Mounting: A little problematic. If you get this screen, you will want to mark the position of your headlight in relation to its bracket. I needed a second set of hands to adjust the headlight while keeping the screen where I wanted it. I also found that I had to torque down hard on the headlight mounting bolts to keep the screen in from slipping back and out of position under wind pressure at speeds over 60 mph. Perhaps someone else with this screen found a special locking washer in the bag full of extra parts that was included with the screen.

Performance: Noisy!! I can't really call it "buffetting" because I did not feel my head moving around, but the noise in my HJC full face helmet was incredible. I was forced to wear earplugs to get some relief. I leaned my head to the side of the screen and the noise reduced to the level I was used to without the screen. The screen, rather than reducing wind pressure, seemd to concentrate it on my shoulders and the very top of my chest. I think that the wind is then deflected under my chin into my helmet, creating the noise. I cannot adjust it upright enough to get the airflow over the very top of my helmet nor swept back enough to have clear air around my head.

Overall, I'm a little disappointed that it didn't work better for me. I defiantly think it would work great for someone a bit shorter.
