Love the Smoke, "looks" great!
For best visibility/safety purposes, it's the same 'ol same ol,...."Clear" = right choice.
You can add color by changing out some body panels. But....Alex knows that already

For looks, I’d get the smoked. Gotta consider if you ride a lot at night, are used to wearing shades or tints. I’m not so I’d get clear. But for you enjoying all that sun, probably smoked would be best.
Oh no, my friend who's using the same screen said that this screen's height is causing a lot of unpleasant wind noise directly to his helmet at speeds above 100kph.
At first i thought a much longer screen will make my ride more quiet, but it seems inaccurate. Anything taller than this one wouldn't look good on the PCX i think..
Isn't it that the GIVI D1130ST is of the same height?
Everything looks better from the inside of a motorcycle helmet...
Strange that it's in two pieces bolted together. The nuts on the clear one are silver, but black on the smoked. I think they should be black since they're against the black lower half. The tall Givi does cause turbulence and additional noise around the helmet, but takes the wind force away from my chest and keeps me drier and warmer in winter. I wear a modular helmet, raised most of the time, and it's noisy even with ear plugs in and sounds on. The buffeting sound from larger screens isn't the normal steady sound of wind, but an uneven rapping physical sound against your helmet. I'm on the coast, so there's always a breeze, and it starts to kick in at 30mph. My helmet isn't an expensive one. Maybe that makes a difference. It takes a bit of getting used to. Initially I hated it, but don't mind it so much now. I think your ears/brain start learn to filter it out over time. You should try a ride on your friends bike and see what it's like.

Thanks for the Givi feedback, exactly the same as what my friend described. Unfortunately, I cannot test his ride as we don't live near each other.
I hate wind noise, reason why I always wear earplugs. I'm now thinking I don't really need a taller screen, my current screen does its job well of keeping the wind noise at minimum.
I actually just like the taller screen because of its looks.
