Any suggestions on a reasonably priced windscreen for my Like 200i? Also, are there other Kimco model's windscreen that can be modified to fit the Like? Thanks

Hello lazydog, take a look at the Puig windscreen for the Like. I installed the 5670 Traffic model. It fits great and looks very sleek on the scooter. I purchased from Amazon..Len

I've never understood wind screens on motorcycles or scooters. it's like the people who buy a convertible and put the top down and leave the windows up... if you don't like wind then why buy it? also it looks strange.... But the Biondi or however you spell it is the only one i'd get because it blocks your hands and I ride in the winter and my double layered gloves don't do enough to keep my hands from getting numb

I agree w/ you Max. I've bought three bikes that had screens. Straight to the shed with them...
They actually detract from handling as well . Maybe not so much at 30 mph but I can still feel the effect.

Good for you LazyDog! Welcome to the Dark Side!!!
We hold meetings every Tuesday, and Saturday at 1:00 sharp. (Hwy. 98 Ramada Inn, Crawfordville)
Try to bring a Cobbler or maybe Cup Cakes. It's just the three of us for now soooo...

Thanks Len, that Puig looks just right. Thanks for the invitation Zombie, but I'm in San Diego, a tough commute.

Use the force LazyDog. Vivo is commuting from the Philippines.
Don't forget the snacks. (new guy buys)

I got mine on ebay. It mounts on the mirror mount but I will not put it on until next winter hits. It does not look like a perfect fit but should be functional.
Down side is it interferes with the black rubbers on the mirrors. Price plus shipping was under $50 total.

That Puig from amazon, do you need to do any modifying to make it work or is it plug and play?
-
Hi twowheel, It is pretty much plug and play. ;)
-
Thanks, yea I'm not into drilling holes into the plastic unless it's for lights. You have a link/model# for that on amazon? I tried but come up with 100s of Puig shields and no certain match for the like.

2wheel, Just go to the Amazon site and type in Puig 5670W windshield in the search field. It will go to the item. Be careful when mounting that you DO NOT use any thread locker on the two screws which go through the plastic screen to the frame. I did this because I was afraid they would get loose. The problem is the glue in the Lock-Tite will cause the acrylic to crack. Puig replaced the screen for me at no charge and the replacement has been fine and does not loosen. Thought you would like a heads-up.

Got the Puig from Amazon. Easy install and good fit, almost looks factory and it is just the right size for me. Thanks for the direction.

Can we get a photo?
Might help me sell my LIKE...if it comes to that.
Or, or... I could make my LIKE the "below 20 degrees ride" with the screen...since it's aircooled w/EFI (that goofy thing lights almost before I touch the starter button!)
Even running lousy, like this month, it still fires before I can put down the Moon Pie and get the key out of my pocket!

You know,, there are several seniors who frequent this forum.
And I cannot find my 'viewing glass"....for the stamp collection.
Or, am I the only one who is getting a really tiny pix here?
Thank you, though, it probably looks pretty nice.

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to make the pic larger.

Got the Puig in early October and found it easy to install but it does take a little patience to get it even and looking right. It was good for wind protection but it also created a great deal of noise around my helmet. So much so that I either needed to start wearing ear plugs or get rid of the windshield. I took it off in early November. I'm about 5' 11" so that may put me in the noisy zone but another person at another height may have no trouble at all. If you're looking for a windshield, I'm happy to sell mine for $40 with shipping included. Excellent quality – just didn't work for me. Send me a text at 432–8 53–2751 if you need one.
