Title: FZ1 Touring Screen
Post by: Fazian on 24 March 2020, 03:20:40 pm: Can anyone recommend a screen for the FZ1? I'm 6' 1" and would like to divert as much air around me as I can as I felt like I was going to get blown off the bike the other day.

Cheers :) [size=78%] [/size]

Was it a Puig?

Post by: robbo on 02 April 2020, 06:21:00 pm: I chose a Puig on a forum members recommendation. Been on 2/3 years now, happy enough with it
They also do, or certainly did, a taller touring screen, but you wouldn't want it on all the time as they spoil the general look imo.

Post by: steve 10562cc on 03 April 2020, 08:50:35 am: Not 100% sure, but think it was a Puig it was on the bike when I bought it.

Post by: Fazian on 03 April 2020, 11:02:50 am: Just bought a cheap DB off ebay for £17, not confident that it will be stable for that price but if it does the trick then I may get a Puig at a later date.

Post by: Fazian on 13 May 2020, 06:35:26 pm: This was the item on ebay, it took about 4 weeks to arrive after telling me it was 4-5 days but I got it in the end. It's marginally better than the standard screen and looks quite a lot better and it's stable at speeds up to 90 as I haven't gone over that speed with it. The sellers comms was excellent and even refunded me when I didn't get it so I have to pay him now :rolleyes
