stock windshield +?

[joloy133]

I am about to get a new windshield but wonder if I'll miss the breeze/cooling during the summer. Does anyone like the stock set up? Reasons for keeping?

I like the stock. I dont like the larger screens... takes away from the sportiness IMO. I actually would prefer a shorter than stock windshield. I dont like the buffeting effect. If you stand up while riding you can see how clean the air can be with no shield. It will just put a little more pressure on your chest.

just order the raised clear

you will be happy

Calltrex, I ordered the raised clear windscreen a few days ago so I'm hoping it will be better. Obviously you have a good experience with it, care to share a few more details?

FZ1inNH put a speed screen on his bike and it looks awesome. I wish there was one available for our bike because it looks exactly like what you're describing. I checked it out and it is a bit pricey.

What are you getting? Unless I missed something, there aren't any tall screens that fit the 6R.

I have the Yamaha double bubble clear screen, which is the same height as stock, and my first hot weather ride of the season was comfortable. I'd say the dub-bub really doesn't diminish the the airflow, it just seems to do a better job of "splitting" the wind and reducing noise and buffeting.

Just the clear raised bubble from Yamaha. (Arcflash cut his stock shield to be more of a street fighter and it did look sort mean.....Good wise!)

Go for it, you'll like it.

I just got an email from Puig (along with these photos) telling me that they now have a Race screen (both in clear and tinted) and a touring screen (only showed me tinted) available. Not sure when they will get to distributors here in the US, but I did ask if I could get one directly from them - should hear back on Monday.

Touring Screen - 5548F

Clear Race - 5547H

Tinted Race - 5547F


Fingers crossed...

I really like the touring screen, I hope they make it available soon. I guess the double bubble I just bought might be coming off.

seems like they could bring the front down a little further and cover the power crystal... I think that'd be a cool design

Agree! I really dislike the power crystal.

Still too much windscreen for me. I want one that only comes up to the instrument gauges.

I wouldnt mind the touring one if i was going to go on a long ride or trip.

switch back to my raised clear for local riding.


hope the 6 plastic screw can handle the big touring windshield...

 

[arkkornkid]

the touring screen totally completes the Transformer look.... but I bet it serves it's purpose well

What can I do with the power crystal?
It looks like there is a place to drill and mount something....?

I've seen where people have put led's or strobes in there. If/when I decide to take things apart, I'll probably just black it out to blend with my windscreen.

Ohh I really like that tinted race screen. I might have to wait on the Yamaha DB. How much do they usually charge for their screens? More or less than the $80 for the Yamaha one?

 

[calltrex]

i read somewhere there shields didnt line up or fit properly...

 

[Newmason]

These shields look like the new ones Puig has been working on for a few months now! I am def in on the touring screen before my trip out to arizona in august!
