noob puig windscreen question

[Superbuddha14]

Does the strip for the puig windscreen need to be attached? What's the purpose of it? I currently have it on but looks funky to me. Sorry for the noob question

Hmmmm. I didn't think it looked funky. My screen is dark smoke. YMMV. Probably just softens the edge of the shield. I don't remember if the edge was rough. You don't have to put it on if you don't want.

I'm trying to think of what it's purpose is besides to soften the edges. If that's all it does, I might have to take it off haha

I just remember it was a biyotch to get on, so I left it. I don't really think it has any significant aeordynamic or hydrodynamic (rain?) purpose.

I left the strip off of mine. It looks fine to me, and there doesn't seem to be any weird wind noise or anything caused by leaving it off.

I like my Puig...hope yours works out too.

When I took the screen out of the bag it came in, the strip feel out and disappeared...haven't seen it since! That being said, I never even thought about it until I read this thread. I don't think it does anything other than maybe offering some sort of safety factor in a crash? I've never missed it, mine is excellent as is. Good choice of screen mod.

Ok cool, thanks for the help eveyone. Just took it off, looks better now

i got mine on... was a pain to put on. I thought the edge of the screen was sharp and could hurt in a crash....

may keep from cutting your throat open if in a crash....... just a guess

I remember to have read somewhere that it "break" the airflow - and reduce turbulence. However You can order rim that looks cooler...

I think it makes it look "finished". I have the dark smoke screen as well and like the looks of the edging.
