Papa, I got it from Amazon. It is called the "Traffic" model on the Puig website. Puig has a distributor in Florida. ;)

When installing the Puig do the two rubber boots that come at the base of the mirror stems get reinstalled; or do they just get removed to allow for the windscreen's hardware?
Have to do something soon, ate a bug yesterday :(

The 2 rubber boots on the mirrors get re-installed to cover the mounting hardware. It does leave the holes in the handle bar cover open. I have not noticed much outside dirt getting in through these gaps. I had thought about putting some grommets on to fill the gap but now it seems not to be a concern.

Just an update, I applied Loctite to everything and let the bike sit for a day, took it out on a back highway and cruised at speeds around 50-60 mph. I have no more "head shake" with my full face helmet on, the ride is noticeably quieter and I can hear the engine rpm's easier, I think I may have dropped 1-2 mph on the top end, but we don't "like" taking these little scoots that fast anyways. After all the adjusting and tightening down, I found it difficult to get the windscreen in the perfect position, there's a larger gap between the top of the headlight and the bottom of the windscreen than I would like, but it also allows for more airflow. I've noticed that while riding at night, the windscreen seems to glow around the edges which is kind of annoying, but again, I think that's how its situated on the bike. But overall it has increased my comfort on my 12 miles commute to work in the morning! And that's what I bought it for! Comfort!

Papa- I think the model number of mine is 5670W. I don't know if 4873H is taller or shorter but the hardware kit looks like the same set. I would try calling their Florida location. They are very helpful. The H or W at the end indicates smoked or clear version.  ;)

Hello again Papa- I checked the size of my wind screen and it does match the size of the one in the link you provided.
