Thanks in advance...

There are some great windscreen threads on this forum. I poured over all the great pictures and descriptions before making a choice. Very informative and entertaining stuff.

I have a Puig Plus. Puig windscreens are made in Spain. Google Puig and check out their offerings.

The Puig Plus is very light weight, thin (3 mm), flexible and strong. If you purchase one, it comes with a lot of hardware to mount on various bikes. On the CB1100, you'll only need the 2 mounting brackets, 4 small bolts and 4 plastic washers. Best mounting position is between headlight and headlight mounting brackets.

The Plus offers some wind protection, primarily to the chest area. The area behind it is calm at lower speeds. There is some spillover to the chest at higher speeds but not a full blast of air.

The top of windscreen will juggle a little when riding over bumps. That's not an indication of a loose mount (it's rock solid) but more the nature of it's thin cross section and flexibility.

Check out the other windscreen threads before making a decision. I'll be doing so as we enter colder weather and more wind protection is needed.

Ok thanks for the info

+1 to everything CB4ME said on the Puig Plus. Matches my experience with it, too.

Very nice looking install on the sissy bar. Looks factory!
