Windshield

Just wondering about the factory windshield from Honda. I know that there are others out there but this was part of the deal for my new pcx. I am short 5-5 so a taller windshield would not do any good as far as I can tell.
Thoughts?

Have you tried it yourself? What do you think of it?

I will try it myself when I pick up my pcx next week. I need some thoughts from those who have already tried on or the other.

I am 6ft and fairly long waisted. I think the Honda tall windshield would be perfect for you. It's a little short for me as I get a lot of wind noise under my full face helmet unless a mostly full tuck takes place. Curious to see what you think of it!

I finally got the new ride home and have gotten to try that windshield out. I like it, the wind goes over my helmet with no buffering. I haven't gotten it over 40 yet and don't plan on doing that til I get about 300 miles on it. The dealer told me to just ride it like I am going to and change the oil at 600 miles.
Thumbs up for the Honda windshield.

Hi, I have a Honda tall windscreen on my PCX fitted it myself I'm 5 9 and it is great, new in May 1600 miles up last week, I wear a Viper open face helmet but am thinking of a full face for the winter I have tried a couple on in bike shop but I wear specs and find very difficult to fit them after the helmet is on any ideas

The better helmets (bell,Schuberth) will let you get thinner ear pads which allow glasses easier, I have swapped them on two helmets. Look at a Schuberth C3

Lafree - I also wear glasses and have been wearing full face flip-up helmets since they came out.

BMW started marketing Schuberth made helmets under the BMW name.

When BMW stopped bringing them into the US I switched to Shoei helmets.

When Shoei changed the inside shape I switched to HJC. Been using that brand for 15 years now (not the same helmet, of course).

What model of HJC flip up helmet do you have Bob ?

All of mine have been the SY-MAX models. The newer ones have the built in sliding sunshade - eliminates the need for sunglasses.

One thing to remember - any company's modular helmets will all be the same external size - XL. They just put more internal padding for the smaller sizes.

XL helmets won't fit under the seat of a PCX.

I have been looking at the HJC IS Modular II helmet and wondered if it would fit under the seat. I guess I will have to use the security strap so I better keep it handy.

I recently acquired a Schubert and this complaint dating from 2011 hasn't been addressed yet

Many perks for the handcrafted German Schuberth S2 & C3 like the visor clarity and ease of removal, a very comfortable fit, lightweight, and the airflow is awesome quiet and just excellent. Why then will they not put the tab in the middle and resolve this issue?
I noticed this flaw right away on the S2 and I now close the helmet from the top with one hand. I guess no helmet will get a 5 star from me so far but I will keep buying them USED until I find one that is perfect
