Re: Scooting around.
I have a taller Honda windscreen that I may re-install. I took it off in the spring because I thought it was giving me stability issues in windy conditions at high speeds. I might have been under the wrong impression about this. I was a new rider at the time.
My hubby would have to go buy one.

Re: Scooting around.
We have tall Givi windscreens on both of our scooters. We had a mid-height Givi on my wife's but she was getting a lot of wind at her head. With the tall ones we can ride with no wind problems. Yes, there are cross wind problems, but that is not from the windscreens. They are light bikes. Even with the original windshield, which was really nothing, if we were on the freeway we would feel the crosswinds. The advantage of the tall windscreen is that you don't feel the wind while riding on secondary roads. We do the majority of our riding on secondary roads and have a lot of fun doing it. I wish you guys were down here so that we could trade bikes for a short time. You would definitely see what I am talking about. We still have the mid-height Givi but I added a section above it to block wind on the face. It works well, but still allows air to flow around it for some airflow during the hot summers. However, now we just keep the tall ones on. They work well when it rains, so why not just leave them on?

Re: Scooting around.
Oh, you have the Honda brand (tall) screen, nice! I haven't tried that one. I almost ordered one in 2011 then Givi made their PCX entrance. If I recall the Honda screen was costly? On some pics I've seen the Honda mounting looks different than the way a Givi is mounted. Probably my eyes though. When I rode my 2011 I had a Givi medium clear screen & it would feel unsteady at times. No one likes to feel out of control, right?
right? I'm riding with the 2015's shorty stock screen now and liking it. But still feels unsteady at times (45+ speeds). Ultimately it's a hit or miss scenario choosing one. We end up adjusting to & getting use to what we have. Aw well, we do our best and we spend (probably) too much to find "the" one. But hey!....if ya got it (& lots of it)....Why Not spend it?
Life seems to be getting shorter, especially when I listen to the news lately
Make an effort to have fun, & often
Wait, wait....one question. Do you have the Honda "tinted smoke" screen? If so, would you buy tinted again or do you think it impairs your view in anyway? (keeping in mind all kinds of weather).
Thanks Steph

Re: Scooting around.
Looking good!
p.s. Too bad you didn't get consecutive plates. I guess someone got registered between the two PCXs?

Re: Scooting around.
Mel46, you said (We still have the mid-height Givi but I added a section above it to block wind on the face). I would like to see your added section to help block the wind. I was thinking of doing this also. A few pics? Thanks

Re: Scooting around.
@whitenoise - My Honda screen is clear. I noticed that the wind blew on my neck when I had it on. Will have to try it again. @ Duggle - i've had people ask me what happened to the guy in the middle.
