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.

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

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?
