..yes, she did...

..i sometimes ride with my left arm across the instrument panel, leaned forward in the most ninja turtle aerodynamic position i can muster...

..that was where i was...riding down the longest decline of my commute home from work, when that cyclops bitch shut down, threw me forward off balance, and slipped off a deep shoulder..front wheel planted and she slung me into the ditch....

..she lost her left side foot peg, and cracked loose the right side rear turn signal...


...after a select few minutes, she fired back up and took me home...


..i could find no reason for her to ever have shut down...dis-assembled cvt, carb, checked electricals...


..that pic i took with my phone...shortly after the ditch...looked like she was laughing at me...

..i sold her to a dude that has been riding her daily ever since...

Here is my screen from Agility 125. It is the Puig Touring. Here i have it mounted is as low as possible, and it even shields my hands a bit. Howerver, mounted this low, is not optimal for the rain. I'm 6 ft.

I have also mounted it higher (by sliding it up the posts, etc.), and it offers more rain/wind coverage. 3 inches higher makes a big difference -- but it looks a little odd mounted so high.

this size really does not affect handling, even at 45mph or higher, and even when mounted 3 inches higher than the picture. For me the only difference is the screen takes the brunt of the wind, rather than your upper torso. I got it on clearance for $95 OTD at a vespa/kymco dealer (CylceBarn in Lynwood, WA).  Glad you like it. I think if it was any bigger, I'd start to notice it affecting handling in windy conditions.
