factory Windshield attachment questions...
« on: June 12, 2015, 02:40:24 PM »
I tried searching, maybe I'm not that adept at using the forum search function? I didn't see too much on windshields (specifically for the Like 200i).

I went on the Kymcousa.com page for accessories and saw the three they offer, all 16" by 14" and a price tag of $137...

The dollars aren't too terrible, but there wasn't an info as to the mounting method.

I saw windshield mounting videos on youtube (for other scooters), where the mirrors get unscrewed and then the windshield hardware gets mounted from the mirror holes. The addition of a thin brake to the mounting area then allows for the mirrors to be mounted to that. Didn't care for the look. The brackets didn't look very solid; and the 2015 Like 200i has these nice rubber boots where the mirror stem meets the body of the scooter. I don't think the boots would be compatible with the windshield mounting hardware (less weather protection at the mounting point). Not a huge deal, but I was wondering if anyone has used the Factory Windshield on their Like 200? Or if they have a better option (for windshield) on their Like?
Thanks :)

After a bad experience with Scooterville Minn., I went to old reliable JC Whiteney, and ordered a Slipstreamer which received good reviews on the forum.  I have a People GTI300.
I'll post pictures and opinions when I receive and mount it.

LOL, I have given that company (JC Whitney) a lot of money over the years. Should have thought of it myself.
Would love to see your photos after installation.

Givi makes a pretty sweet one, although it may require removal and integration of your turn signals. Revzilla sells it. Givi 6102a. I'm still on the fence about buying it. I live in Texas, and it gets HOT. Very hot, and humid. So holding off for now.

There is another thread for this topic (I'm not good at searching either) and one person suggested the Puig. I ordered it and am going to pick it up tomorrow. Like 200i version---it's a shorter shield, comes in clear or grey. They also have a full-sized one, available in clear or grey as well.

Ok, received the Prima windshield this weekend and decided to slap it on. First impression was that it was a little too wiggly for me, so I'm taking everything off again and reinstalling with Loctite before I take it out on the road, but so far for $79 and free shipping this has been the best deal I've found on a universal windshield. I'll update more when I take it out for a test spin.

ATXScooterGuy Where are the mirrors? I am so old I can't tell how you put the mirrors back on?
How did the Lactate do? Less Wiggle?
Thanks for putting up the photo...

Sorry for the horrible photo, here's the link from scooterworks on how to install this particular windscreen.

Their instructions explain it better than I can. It took a lot of wiggling around and adjusting just to get it on. Loctite will be applied tonight :)

Mystika, Here is s pic of the Puig windshield installed on my Like. It has been on for about 18 months and has been both durable and effective for streamlining.

Big Blue, where did you buy the Puig windscreen?
Thanks!
