Windshield or Face Shield
« on: August 28, 2013, 01:32:56 PM »
Hello

I purchased a Kymco Like 50 (modified with Malossi 70 cc cylinder/variator kit).  When riding, I sometimes get hit with small rocks/pebbles in the face on the Denver roads.

I am interested in getting a windshield or face shield.  Does anyone have any opinions on these options?

Here is the windshield I am looking at:

Thanks for your feedback!

I use both. If I had to make a choice it would be the face shield. Road crap will still hit you in the face with just a windscreen.

Face shield is your best bet. I have read on the forum and reddit that a windshield will actually help increase your speed too. I dont have one though so I cant say so through experience.
