LIKE 200i / Re: Kymco plastic not so fantastic

I'm a big fan of JB Weld. Tested on the battlefield, that stuff is unbreakable. I use the clear. If you can apply it to the inside of the plastic that'd be even better, on the outside might look a bit tacky.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! A motorcycle driver was just killed here in Austin, TX last night at around 2:30 a.m. Hearing things like this sure does make getting on two wheels all that much harder! I dread those intersections where the opposite driver has a green yield light, you never know if they're going to pull out or not!

No I decided to keep it, I was going to get a bigger bike, but the misses says she loves this "Italian" look too much to get rid of it. Gotta keep the misses happy. If the misses ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!   :o

I did have it up for sale on Ebay & Craiglist and I had hardly any bites on it, which wasn't a surprise, you can get pretty good deals on Kymco's at the dealership anyways.

Just an update, I applied Loctite to everything and let the bike sit for a day, took it out on a back highway and cruised at speeds around 50-60 mph. I have no more "head shake" with my full face helmet on, the ride is noticeably quieter and I can hear the engine rpm's easier, I think I may have dropped 1-2 mph on the top end, but we don't "like" taking these little scoots that fast anyways. After all the adjusting and tightening down, I found it difficult to get the windscreen in the perfect position, there's a larger gap between the top of the headlight and the bottom of the windscreen than I would like, but it also allows for more airflow. I've noticed that while riding at night, the windscreen seems to glow around the edges which is kind of annoying, but again, I think that's how its situated on the bike. But overall it has increased my comfort on my 12 miles commute to work in the morning! And that's what I bought it for! Comfort!

Sorry for the horrible photo, here's the link from scooterworks on how to install this particular windscreen.

Their instructions explain it better than I can. It took a lot of wiggling around and adjusting just to get it on. Loctite will be applied tonight :)

Hilarious Stig. I feel the same way! Feels like the bike is just about to come apart or something lol.

Ok, received the Prima windshield this weekend and decided to slap it on. First impression was that it was a little too wiggly for me, so I'm taking everything off again and reinstalling with Loctite before I take it out on the road, but so far for $79 and free shipping this has been the best deal I've found on a universal windshield. I'll update more when I take it out for a test spin.

600 miles on my like, 60 is about as fast as it will go, and when I'm going that speed you better believe I'm hanging on to those handlebars tight! It's like a death grip!

Saw that these were a good cheap option to increase visibility, and after hearing some of your reviews, decided to purchase them on Amazon. So far, I'm please! I've already had a few folks ask about them and where to get them! Took about 10 minutes to clean and apply.

California is on my bucket list. For some reason, I've never been to the state. Been just about everywhere else. But looks so beautiful there. I'm from Texas where everything is hot and dry, well, for the most part at least. (Besides these torrential flash floods we've been having lately - which prevents me from riding :(....
