Short riders with Puig racing screens

[mercm3]

Most of my searches come up with all you damn tall folks with yer racing screens

I was curious if anyone around my size 5'6" has a puig racing screen and their take on it.

I'm 5' 10" with long legs (34" inseam).
I believe that it will not eliminate all wind, even if you're 5' even. As all the posts say, it redirects air flow about 6" higher (in my case it went from chin level with stock screen to forehead level with Puig).
It's infinitely easier to tuck behind Puid and eliminate most of the wind at pretty much any speed.
It's a huge improvement at low speeds.. at 50, I can sit fully upright and not feel any wind.
Noise increases, but you should be wearing earplugs anyway, so that's really not an issue.
What sort of riding do you do, most of the time and what sort of improvement are you looking for?

hmmm honestly I have no baseline to judge things by. This my first street bike ever, I do know at about 65-70 I tend to tuck behind the windscreen a little just get less wind on me, sounds like the puig screen will definitely help me in that scenario.

Definitely.

I'm 5'6" and recently got the Puig Racing screen and LOVE it :rockon:
Took it out on the highway a few days ago and I didn't notice any wind at 75mph.

Price just made it to tempting, if my wife finds out I'm gonna use this board as my evil influence hehe

 

[DamiaRhan]

Omg that price is 1/3 of what I paid

Good find!

Man, That's a good price! :rockon:

Yeah I check the part number and looking at it, it all looks legit. I just hope i don't get it and it's really a "PUG RACING" windscrap.

I'm 5'8" and have a tinted Puig screen..I like it but it seems a bit tall which gives the bike a less sporty look I'd say. The previous owner put it on. I like it though. Does a pretty good job. When I get up to highway speeds on the interstate, I can still feel some wind on my helmet when tucked in, but I'm sure it would be even worse with a different..specifically smaller screen!

I posted this a little while ago to give people idea of the difference. Of course this is on a 07 bike, so not exactly same as 06 and older.

wanted to thank everyone gave me help on this. Got my Puig screen today and took it for a ride, made a huge difference for me no more head being thrown around at freeway speeds for me.

Excellent! Glad it worked out well for you.

Yeah, glad you like it. I am 5'6" and have one and love it. When doing over 65 or 70 I tuck down a bit and it really knocks the wind off. This is like the one I have.

 

[mercm3]

yeah doing the hand wind test i have to put the bottom of my hands on my forehead for my fingers to feel the wind resistance
