Puig Windscreen

[12cb96vfr_imp]

I ride my CB year round, luckily here in the south we're blessed with great weather so riding in the winter is pretty easy. We definitely get some cold mornings, but usually we get in the 50s during the day so its not so bad (its 70 today haha).

I picked up a Puig Windscreen to help cut the cold air on my ride into work, got it for $40 shipped so I figured what the heck......took all of 2 seconds to install and I'm digging it!

Normally I'm not a big fan of windscreens or fairings, but this one is really starting to grow on me! I may leave this on in the summer..we'll see!

It's a great little screen. I had a Puig Plus on my bike for 2 years. Never had any problem in the Summer, when I primarily ride (don't hit me Ferret ). It actually provided a surprising amount of rain protection, in light rain. And not long rides. But still.

only downside is i just bought chrome gauge covers haha, so now i can't show those off!

 

[Lord Popgun]

Well, as Roseanne Roseannadanna said. It's always something. If it's not one thing it's another.

12CB. Did you paint your side covers? If so what did you use?

 

[the Ferret]

Looks good...also looks pretty substantial. Do me a favor and measure vertically from ign switch to top of shield as best you can. Just eyeball it since it sits so far forward.

Gosh your bike is so clean!

Who makes the rear stand? I could use one like that. Any chance you could take some more pics of it from the back?

flat black 3M vinyl wrap - used a hair dryer to pop the emblems off - applied the wrap, used some 3M mounting tape to reapply the emblems. I was really nervous, but that wrap is pretty much idiot proof. Super forgiving and durable.

they always have a 20% off coupon, so be sure to use one, can't beat it for $35!

You don't need spools to use this stand either, just flip those around and they work perfect. I put some fuel line over the tabs so it wouldn't scratch up my swing arm - i'll post a pic tomo

I'll get it tomo and post up - guess would be 6-8" but let me measure tomo to be sure.

Haha, thanks - i'm a little obsessive about keeping 'em clean, I wash my bikes every week like clockwork. I love it, almost as much fun as riding - almost.

Ok, I just ordered one of the Puig ($41) windshields for myself as well...For that amount, including shipping and no tax, I figure I can't lose...if not my cuppa, I'll order a new acrylic only for my broken Parabellum sport 22" high one for $200 plus shipping (for which I still have the hardware.).....Delivery date quoted is March 3.

I'm painting the tank as I said in many another post. It is hard to keep all the threads in sync - So There.

Popgun, no. It appears that the very first post on this topic has pictures attached to it, am I correct? Thank you.
