Different windscreen option

[PDXGT]

I've been looking at windscreen options for the GT and there's not a whole lot out there. The Biondi would have been my first choice but it looks like it's not available at this time. Puig has a direct bolt on but it's on the large side http://www.scootervilleparts.com/kymcopeoplegtipuig.htm . Anyone have this windscreen on their GT?

I went to the Puig website and it looks like they have a smaller screen option but I'm not sure if I can find it in the states.
http://www.puigusa.com/tuning-bikes/kymco-people-gt300i-2013/trafic/c171en/f1-r27-m4070/ I like the looks of this one but not sure if it would be enough coverage. I have a feeling that this one could possibly direct the air right into my helmet causing buffeting. Opinions?

This one? I like the looks of that. Similar to the Biondi. The mounting seems complicated from the photo though. Do you have experience with it?

That's the one I got the fully tinted windshield.  Shipping with them takes a long time.  I think they order monthly from France.  If you don't mind waiting its a great deal.

How was it to install? Did you have to modify any of the body panels?

It mounts where the us turn signal lights mounts so you have to hook up euro turn signals and it uses a euro 150 degree base bulbs.  That's been covered in previous threads.

Don't go with a wind screen with only two mount points on the plexi. You're more likely to have a failure at high speeds.
Ride safe.

That was one of my concerns with the Puig that I posted above. Looks like air could come up under the bottom of it also causing more stress on the plexi. I'm guessing that particular screen is designed more for around town riding.

I got a Slipstreamer windscreen for my GT300 and am very pleased. I think it was an "XX 66" on Slipstreamers site. I can look over it easily and see the road about 50-60' in front. Very reasonable in cost also ( about $75) as I remember. It does have a headlight cut out on the bottom edge, but that's fine, and I noticed the screen offered on Kymcos site (Puig?) also has the cut out. I've ridden the scooter up to 80mph and no flexing.

I put on the GIVI.  It is made for the GT300i, looks nice and you don't have to remove the USA blinkers.  I cut mine down 3.5 inches as it comes way too tall.  That also takes a lot of stress off the windshield when driving high speed.  I think they have the cracking issue cured as they come with plastic fasteners instead of  the metal ones that were often cranked down so tight that it would contribute to cracking issues.

I have searched the web up & down for a windshield for my '13 GT300i.  I too think the Puig is too tall.  I really like the Prima Universal Medium sized windshield which can be found all over the web.  There is a very cheap knockoff of this windshield made and/or sold by "Scrappydawg". It appears identical to the Prima.  It is only $25 bucks so I ordered it just to see how it would fit.  Came the other day and mounted up just like it was made for the GTi.  I am 6'4" and I feel the line of site to be perfect.  The screen actually mounts just behind the short air spoiler on the GTi.  Gives it more of a Biondi finished look rather than just hanging out in front. DONT GET ME WRONG.. this Scrappydawg shield is very, very cheap and I really do not trust it.  However I already ordered the Prima, which is a quality windshield. (my wife had one on her Vino)  Anyway, just my two cents but appears to be an option for all those GTi riders in search of something else.

I actually found a few on ebay.com as well. However all the goodies for kymco are located in Europe

Before you buy. Check out Just Gotta Scoot the reviewer there owns a People 300 GTi and has i think three different windscreens he talks about. One snapped on him and you should avoid buying that one.

The key is buying a LEXAN windscreen. Plexi glass or Acetate screens are cheap, and can/will shatter if they are torqued or. impacted.

They are the perpetuation of cheap China crap.

Lexan by its nature cannot crack or shatter. Nor will it craze or discolor from sunlight.

I personally despise windscreens but this info may help save some hard earned denaro's.

Hi Guys...received the Prima windshield yesterday and planned on the install today....NO GOOD!!!
A few very small differences between the cheapo "Scrappydawg" and the Prima just didn't allow it to mount up nicely.  Sorry for the bad information.  The Prima is a nice quality product though.  I am not sending back because of restocking and shipping fee's.  It's just not worth it.  If anyone has a  different scooter and does the research and could use it...let me know.  It's all boxed up.

Just one of those days..................
