People GT 300i / My new windscreen
« on: January 29, 2017, 06:03:21 PM »
Installed a Puig Traffic on my GT this week. Had to get it from Italy as Puig USA doesn't have it and has no plans to. The Traffic is the smallest windscreen Puig offers for our 300's. It is not a universal. As any of us that have tried to find screens for these bikes know the pickings are mighty slim!
The design of this scoot without a windscreen was very problematic for me. Anything over 20 miles an hour I had to keep my face shield down or road grit went directly into my eyes. The little wind deflector sent everything directly into my head. At freeway speeds, even with ear plugs, the noise was deafening. Turning my head, to check blind spots, was nearly impossible.
So, as much as I didn't want to pay shipping from Europe, I also did not want a tall screen, that I had to look through and blocked to much wind. Took a month to get it and I wouldn't say installation was easy. One of the brackets was wrong. The hole was not the right size and needed to be drilled out. There were no instructions, only a picture. The parts list was in Italian and included far more items than I received, though it had what I needed for the install.
Once fitted up it works wonderfully and was worth the trouble. The plastic seems high quality and edges are finished nicer than any other windscreen I have owned.
