Touring windscreen - chinese !

Jesper Hedegaard · November 2nd, 2015, 05:04 PM

Have a small project: my Puig DB screen does not give me the needed room to mount my GPS without covering part of the instrument cluster - and I'd like a taller screen to deflect wind.
Trouble is being a cheapscate, I'd much prefer to pay 20-30 bucks for a chineese build in stead of 80-100 bucks for brand marks.
Having searched Ebay, Amazon and Google, I've found plenty of stock, race and DB screens cheap - but no Touring Screens !?

Any og U guys spotted one ?

Nope, I bought an expensive one. There doesn't appear to be any touring Chinese ones.

I had 2 different $15 Chinese double bubbles!

Amazon has a knock off double bubble, chinese if you will...def not touring, but an improvement over stock...my $0.02.

Thx - but I allready have a doubble-bubble - and like it.
Actually it was on the bike when I bought it last fall, so I have only tried the original on a dealer's demo bike some 5 years ago ;o)
But could use more space behind/under the screen for a project including mounting a GPS....

Not a fan of the RAM mount that places the GPS or item of preference on handlebar?

Jesper Hedegaard · January 3rd, 2016, 02:49 PM

Nope - tried it on my KLX250S, but ended up fabricating a windshield and high mount for the GPS instead.
Gonna bend some 10mm alloy tube a little, hang it on the mirror bolts on the underside of the fairing.
It has to be up high enough to see it without mooving my eyes too far of from the road - and the traffic. Both in town and out it can easily kill You, if you look for much else than traffic

(
But it will be spring before I get to that; minus a coupple of degrees Celcius here now - and it will get worse soon with snow etc.
Not ideal for a street-mechanic, living on the 2nd floor ;o)

I would tend to say that there isn't that much more room under there. I had both, and with my ram mount moved all the way up, to the instrument panel almost, it was pretty much as high as it would go.

Motorcycling rule of thumb, never pay attention to the hot blonde in the convertible next to you, she can get you killed in so many ways, especially when pulling up to a red light....
