Downtown 300 / Re: New Windshield
« on: April 17, 2014, 01:23:11 AM »
mnpugdog - Thanks for the offer to meet in the cities somewhere.  I'd love too.  I've measured and contacted Puig and I'm pretty sure the windshield will be too tall for me, so your Givi definitely will be but I'd be interested in seeing it and would probably buy your old windshield and I would save on shipping charges from Joe's (sorry Joe).  I have yet to call a cycle shop and inquire about have a Puig or Givi cut down.  I know it's not recommended...  I wonder if it has been successfully done???

MNpugdog - I got out on the 60 degree day for about an hour last weekend.  It seems any temp under 60 degrees and I get too cold, even with multiple layers on.  I have a Carhartt winter coat that is the best for not letting wind through.  It's not the best for crash protection though.  :-)  Hopefully this week we will be able to get out a lot.  I sure miss riding during the winter :-)

I will certainly be interested in your factory windshield if I don't think I can see over the Puig.  What do you think would be a fair price?  Thanks again.  :-)

Joe- Thank you, very, very much!  That helps me tremendously.  I emailed the company but they didn't send me that measurement.   I asked if the windshield was too tall, if it could be cut down a few inches and they didn't recommend it.  I'm going out to the garage to sit on it and see if I think I can look over another 4".  Thank you again!

Okay, thank you.  The windshield sounds fantastic.

Hello.  I need to replace my factory windshield due to a tip-over.  I am only 5'5" tall and the puig sounds great but I'm concerned I won't be able to see over the top of it.  I'm not sure how everyone has figured their windshield measurements.  I measured my factory windshield and it is, 10.75 inches from the center/top of the dash to the top of the windshield.  Would someone please be so kind as to tell me what this same measurement is on the Puig windshield?  Thank you so much.  I'm in MN and want to have it ready to ride just as soon as it is warm enough.  Thanks again!

Thanks everyone!  I will certainly experiment with helmets and can borrow a couple from a friend.  I only have a 'half helmet' and need to buy a full face helmet yet.  I stopped in the dealership where I bought the scooter and the mechanic took it for a ride and also heard this 'wind noise' and assured me it was nothing mechanical.  He didn't have time to look at it more closely but I will have him when I get my top case installed, hopefully early next week.  Thanks again!

Downtown 300 / Hello - Upgraded to a new Downtown 300i - LOVE IT!

Hello Everyone.  I've just spent two hours reading the forum and I'm so impressed with all the valuable information I've read about oil changes, tires, spark plugs etc.  I owned a Buddy 125cc for the past 5 years and a week ago bought a 2013 white Downtown 300i. After moving to the 'big city' I needed something I could take on the freeways.  I'm still adjusting to the larger size but am loving it.  Can't wait to see what type of mileage I get!  Just want to say "Hi". 

The only 'issue' I've noticed with my scooter so far is a loud, sharp wind noise that starts around 30 mph and gets louder the faster I drive.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Thanks & safe scooting to all.

VIVO, Would you mind sharing the name of the paint sealant you use?  I purchased a white DT a week ago and want to keep it in as like-new of condition as possible.  :) Am very glad I found this forum, it's great.  Kindest Regards & Thanks!

Good Idea for the thread!  I ordered a Givi E52 top case for my DT and will post a pic after it's installed. Thanks.
