[Raux]

Puig has a new one coming that is a replacement for the stock windscreen (just the plexi part), and is 4" taller.
it doesnt look too horrible.

actually not bad. only one ive seen integrating the headlight yet.

Agreed, that one with clip ons would give the 696 or 1100 a very nice feel!  Make them more like the monsters of old

I like the magical racing screen most, but these all look good to me. I also like the large, transparent screens for actual wind protection when touring, being transparent, their size maybe won't be so obvious?

Has anyone come across National Cycles windscreens?  Wondering how good/reliable they are...  I'm considering whether I should order one for my M796.

Looks like they only have two models for the new monsters, with a 2.75 inch difference in height (but same width), and I'm wondering how big that difference really is when cruising at high speeds.

Thoughts/opinions appreciated.


Dark tint, 15.25 inch.




Light tint, 18.00 inch.

Hey everyone!

I've revived this old thread because I'm now in the same situation as jvax was then. I have at least three trips to the California coast planned this riding season and after the last trip being so rough, weather wise, I've decided to add some real wind / rain protection.
I'm looking for temporary touring protection and will remove the screen after the trips. So has anyone tried any of these windscreens yet? Which ones work and which ones didn't work out?
  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 The problem with taller/larger windscreens is that they can create a lot of turbulence. A lot depends on how tall the rider is as well as the shape of the screen. Unfortunately the only way to discover if this will be the case is to buy one and try it out.
If someone who it a similar shape and size to you has ridden behind one the information is useful, otherwise maybe not.
Good luck with your search, and don't forget to let us know how it turns out!

Haha! Agreed!

All the options look that way to me, or a pope hat!

I was actually leaning towards the national cycle touring screen because of the size for true wind blockage and that it's clear, it might be not so noticeable, kinda like this.
