WhiteNoise, your bike looks soo nice. All you need is a taller windshield and that bike would be f-a-s-t (it IS white, you know).

A "fast" Thank you Mel for complimenting WN's appearance :P while Yer "Red Hots" flame by :D

AFA a taller screen? I had a Givi medium (not the tall one like yours) mounted for a short while and I disliked the wavering I felt while riding. Is that what some of you refer to as buffeting?
So, I removed it and sold it here.
Me trying a taller screen? I don't think so. Just to "roofy" (towering) to me. I enjoy the ride with the stock screen and I'm aware of the danger's of not having a taller screen. Flying debri, and rocks nicked from those in front/around/or passing me by.

Flashback: Whilst in Florida (riding ATGATT) the Papa of Katydids hit me square on at 50mph...My face screen and lid were a gutsy mess. Had to carve the crap out of its nooks n crannies later. No joy.
So yeah, I bet your tall Givi's take the blows and that's surely an added benefit.
Enjoy every ride Mel, I realize how much you enjoy it. You were born to ride ;)

Well that wasn't such a "fast" reply afterall. Not surprised right? :roll:

And if you plan on going through Baltimore this year good luck with the Cicadas. The last time I saw those was when my daughter graduated from Hopkins in 2004.

White is the best IMO since it's very visible. To many drivers do not see scooters or mopeds and too many accidents here.

Well sorry I have been away and didn't even answer my own post. Outside of basic safety gear such as helmet, armor jacket, gloves as well as basic non powered cooler weather gear here is a list of cool additions I personally have.
1. Custom made seat to get ride of the darn hump! Do like it but wish I would have put the "back rest" back a little more for extra stretching room. - https://www.facebook.com/mpmotorseat/
2. Probably my favorite and inexpensive item, the helmet hook. You install it between bar end and handle grip and hang your helmet. I have stuff stored under seat and find the factory undersea hook pretty wonky. (BTW if you wanna order I have a code for $3 off go to www.thehelmethook.com and use code OWSCsave$3) https://www.facebook.com/Herbie2PCX/pos ... 6315764977
3. Muvi "No Proof No Glory" action camera (similar to a go pro) plus ram mounts for putting on handlebar. https://www.facebook.com/NoProofNoGlory/
4. I miss this item. I love this seat cover that keeps seat cool in heat but can't use with custom seat. Considering putting stock seat back on and improvising something regarding loosing hump just so can use this hot seat cover again https://www.facebook.com/MotorcycleSeatCovers/
5. Super hi reflective wheel rim stickers - https://www.facebook.com/customtaylor33products/
6. Custom paint job on front by local pinstripe guy - https://www.facebook.com/RipleysPinstriping1/
7. Because I do have some medical issues and take medications I do consider this a safety item but also something very important https://www.facebook.com/RoadID/
8. Mirror extenders https://www.facebook.com/LuckyBikeTeam/
9. Had local scooter shop install a 12v charger plug on the "glovebox" like in the 2015 model www.scooterworld.com
10. A Garmin with lifetime maps & traffic plus trip memory and needed ram mounts.
11. A 2 charger with 2 USB plug unit from Amazon mounted between handlebar and dash (on the flat area) so I have plenty ability to charge things if needed.
12. Handlebar clock www.clocks4bikes.com
13. Handlebar mounted drink holder (ebay)
14. While this is also technically safety wear item - I couldn't find any armor pants I liked that either didn't look like motocross or because I am bigger that would fit. I found these that you wear almost like long underwear but with armor from Bohn Armor. I haven't purchased yet but a friend did. The mesh "jacket" that is very extra light weight that you could wear in 100* plus weather with a t-shirt and still be protected and not have heat related issues.
I don't know how to post photos but most of the items I posted the links to facebook for the item plus a lot of things can be viewed on my scooter Facebook page.
The helmet hook is my favorite practice but inexpensive item.
I love my gadgets like the camera and the GPS, the anything that makes my scooter still mostly stock but stand out like the reflector wheel rim stickers and the custom paint job.
Thanks for everyone's input and for letting me share my accessories with you.

Re. the "Prestige" sticker....I think it's been rebagged by the Thais....my Granny has the same badge on her Maytag dryer. The "PRESTIGE Eco 700".
Same badge.
But I can't talk...I'm putting a pretty Alfa Romeo badge on my Kymco.

PJD - check out Aerostitch khakis and jeans. I have enjoyed mine (and looked "work-casual"), and feel at least a bit safer.

Hmmm. Looks bleak for the khaki's. They may be discontinued.

No, not rebadged. Rebagged. The Thais sell these things in Honda parts b a g s. And Maytag bags.
My Alfa badge comes in an brown envelope from Somalia. Re-loped, as it were, from Milan.

A tunnel bag is a superb addition. Makes the PCX look better and adds a lot more storage space!

Thanks George I will look into these! I admit while the Bohn Armor works well I do get lazy about adding another layer. While I got the original and not the mesh they are not as horrible as one might think during the not quite heat of summer. They are a great addition to good layering for cooler weather. I tend to not be as anal about protective gear waist down vs waist up with exception of footwear.
I will flag the website and check it out soon (gotta save some "allowance" money)
