Yup pretty happy with it, as I said the givi gives better protection but i like the ermax's looks, and it does give better protection than the standard, i also considered this puig shield

but its overpriced i reckon ;)

Good luck!

I have just put on the Ermax +25 tallest version as Im 192cm. Took 5 minutes to install and looks great, better in real life than photos. I like the rubber trim around the windscreen.

No drumming noise. I still get some helmet noise, but less than with the stock 'windscreen'. But I do use an open face helmet. Will buy a full face soon (and before my winter) which will help. Im getting more comfortable riding in a cross wind too. Just trying to relax and accept that the scooter will be blown around a bit.

I like the looks of that tall Ermax much better than the tall Givi that I have. Where did you find it?

You can buy it from eBay such as http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/280610635933 ... 1423.l2649 but I bought it from here:http://www.same-same.fr/ermax-m-1.html? ... lter_id=75 as postage was a bit cheaper. And they delivered it from France to Australia within 5 days of ordering which I doubt I would get with an eBay purchase. Only takes 5 minutes to install. I did a bit of googling to find a nice windscreen as I wanted something that looks nice. Another make I saw was Bullster which also looks nice.

Oh wow, that 2nd site has a whole bunch of Ermax stuff. Thanks for the link. Do you mind posting a picture from the front, but from a bit of an angle so that I can get a better idea how the +25cm one looks?

I just uploaded another couple of photos to my flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/74721593@N05/ but cant take any more for a while as its raining and am at work. You could try a google image search as I found some images on a french pcx forum and used google translate to see what they were saying about the Ermax (which was nice things). You may need to see french version for windscreen (para something) and search for that word.

This video is of the smaller ermax +12 and ermax sports version:

Yes its not that tall, even for a short person. I still get wind on my helmet, but not on the chest. The tall ermax is perfect for me. Also has increased my top speed to 65mph plus! Got 69 the other day with wind assistance.
