Evening all! New forza 300 owner incoming!!

Post by Steve199579 »

Hello all, my name is Steve, I recently bought a Honda forza 300 (2016) in white, only 2800 miles on it, one owner, full dealer history.
I've been riding since 1995, I've had over 50 Honda's; mostly 80s and 90s models, Everything from a Honda melody (x4 of) to a vfr750 1989, and most models in between! This is my first 125cc+ scooter though, and I have to say I'm very impressed! The ride home was almost 200 miles, in some of the worst wind I've ever ridden in, and it handled it better than expected. Enough power for me, comfy, economical, great headlights to boot!
I'm based in Nottingham, England, waiting for some better weather to get out and about other than the daily commute!
One of my first modifications will be a taller screen, as I'm 6ft 4" (all torso) as the standard just doesn't cut it! I'm really struggling to find anything other than the givi; puig tall screens seem non-existant here!
Ride safe all, roll on the summer!
Thanks!

Look into it wind deflector that mounts on the top edge , Puig makes a good one on Amazon, it will send the wind over your helmet, and you can take it off when you’re running around town. I think the super big windshields just look bad on a scooter. Makes them look top heavy

I like the look of them, and I think they look like they are missing out as standard with the tiny screen; it would make sense on a sports bike, but with the seating position how it is I couldn't tuck in behind it! For me, the little deflectors are usless being as tall as I am, so I will keep looking.

Have Honda stopped selling their own higher screen replacement for the pre 2018 models? I have one on my 2014 model and I find it excellent.

Hello, I'm also from Nottingham. Ordered a new 350 three weeks ago, possibly another five weeks to go. Got most of the accessories in a box waiting for the day.
