I put a Puig Traffic model on wife's People 300i. Was impressed with quality of screen and hardware. Stig, I will bet once that screen gets on there it will stay there! But the screen that shields the hands as well probably does not exist or at least will require removal of the signal light pods. How about those gorpy but good muffs for the handlebar grips you just slip into? I think they just drawstring over the handlebar and stay there until spring. That guy rode a Honda 90 up Norway to the Arctic Circle and back in winter used those things. His problem between the muffs and his suit was sweating!

Karl, I tried those muffs years ago. I found them to be unsafe because I take my hsnds off the grips too often when riding -- especially in the city.
I thought about them the other morning when riding at 40mph in 20° temps. Those conditions strain the ability of my heated gloves.
As for a screen - of any kind - I guess I just prefer to deal with cold wind by using effective clothing ( strange as that seems to some)
It's not a matter of forward vision. ....just prefer to ride as I always have since I was 20.
Screen or no screen, probably not wise to go off into the night at temps much below 30°F. My current gear can handle that.
I can offer no good reason to keep refusing to ride behind a screen!
Maybe when I'm old (er)?

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
