Title: Downtown and Xtown is it the same scooter? and windscreens
Post by: jangermann on June 04, 2020, 06:10:59 AM

Hi

Just got my Xtown yesterday great scooter :-)
I just don't like the windscreen since I get at lot of turbulence in my helmet. I am looking for an alternative windscreen, but have a hard time fine any for a Xtown 2020.
As I understand the Xtown is just a newer version of the downtown.

So my question is:
1. Do Downtown and Xtown fit the same screen, and within what years?
2. Anyone have a link to Xtown 300i ABS 2020 screens?
3. Can anyone recommend a good windscreen? As I see there i two options: A very low screen leaving the helmet i turbulens free air or a taller screen with more wind protection.

Thanks :-)

Windshield mounting same as far as I know---Puig makes Touring Screen that kinda works. I have one

Stock screen with Laminar Lip bolted on, works, too.Using this method at present

On my 11th maxi scooter since 1990, over 400,000 miles----you are never going to get buffet free ride on modern maxi scooter----your nose is too far from trip of screen.

Vespas because of how close your nose is to tip of screen, can provide buffet free ride with right look over screen height.

Thanks. I will give the GIVI D294ST screen a try.
If I still get turbulense I will cut down the stock screen.

It does look a nice item and Givi have had good reports on the forum for their screens.  Good luck with it.

Just solved my problem with turbulence in my helmet :-) I did cut down my windscreen and it is perfect now.
