any thoughts, suggestions?

I have bondi. They help out when ride in rain/windy days, keeps you a little warm, not to mention keeps the bugs off you. Suppose to add aero effect for less drag, not sure about that.
-
I have a Large Prima on my People 150. Was an absolute nightmare to install but now that I have it, I would never again ride without a wind shield. Keeps the rain off, keeps the chill off, and just makes the ride so much more comfortable. I highly, highly recommend a wind shield!
-
Ok Im sold - I want one-but I would like a shaded/smoked/ one that is large--any recommendations?
-
No recommendations on shaded smoked here. Just an FYI, a large shaded windscreen will obscure your silhouette/conspicuity from approaching cagers. Get what you want though. Just thought I would make you aware.

That is the nicest windscreen I've seen for the People 300... What brand is it, and where is it sold, please?
-
Question, on the People GTi 300, the mirror mounting threads are 10mm not 8mmm, yes? Most of the "Universal Scooter Windscreens" I've seen say they have 8mm mounting hardware; i don't want to add more joints with adapters...
-
That's Ermax windshield from motto machine. I got one 2 years ago for $120 or so. It takes awhile to get it in from Italy, but only had to pay shipping from Virginia. I'm 5'10 a little wind noise but huge difference at interstate speeds.
-
could you send over a link? How bout the installation - was it fairly easy?
-
If your asking just search my post you'll find that way.

I'm ordering a Puig 6848w from Motovation for $114. It includes the specific windshield hardware for the 300 Gti. Look at the Puig.usa website and the PDF instruction link. It was 36 degrees today and 10 mph wind and I was freezing in 10 minutes without the windshield. Hope it arrives real soon!
-
Mike-thats a pretty good price! Let us know when it comes in and how easy installation was, and what you think of it after riding.
I noticed on the Puig site that there seem to be 2 different TS 6848W models--if you see there are 2 .pdf files for the instructions. the picture shows 2 distinctly different windshields.

and

I had a Harley for 13 years. I was "too macho" to put a windshield on it. As a result, I hardly ever rode it over 50mph. When I sold the Harley, I bought a People 150. I traded that in on my current GTI300. My 300 has a Biondi windshield and I drive it 75mph without batting a eye. I would probably still have the Harley if I put a windshield on it. Windshields buff the wind and help keep bugs and rain off. My Biondi windshield is low enough to see over, but high enough to buff the wind over the top of my helmet.

I agree with mrmike. Windshields make it all better. Everything I own with two wheels gets windshield even my 50cc yamaha. I like the quality and mounting options of slipstreamer windshields. I find their shapes a little odd, and usually end up re-shaping it.

Just installed it in 20 minutes. It is tall as you look thru it. No helmet buffeting. It can be removed in 5 minutes when it warms up, it was 37 degrees today so I'm loving it. Motovation got. It to me in 3 days. It comes assembled but you need to reposition the mounts and remove the spacers to mounts it and use the supplied nuts to mount the mirrors.the PDFs file shows you the mounts need to be 90 degrees from the mirrors stock orientation. The mirrors mount further towards you and are attached to the back holes of the mounting brackets. Highly recommended and most windshield I've installed on bikes cost more and caused a lot of buffeting the 6848w is clear and fits perfectly. This is the one I ordered but motovatiionusa sent me the link after I contacted them about a Puig windshield for the gt300
so which one are we getting from motovation....?

Can you post some pics please?
