Hi, Got my Puig Mini Touring Screen from Louis.de last week, installed it right away and I've to say it makes a difference. Haven't had the chance to take it on a long ride yet, but it seems to do it's job very well(deflecting wind from your torso). For 20Euros + 10Euros shipping(flat rate), this is a really good deal. The instructions could be better, but I've no other remarks. Came with ABE certificate(not needed here, but still nice), very well packaged and it's easy to fit.

I agree it is a good design and does make a difference. I found I rode faster for a while as you tend to judge speed by feel.

Snap! It's only a wee piece o' plastic, but I can sit bolt upright at 60 mph (into a 40mph headwind ;D ) without any problems. Thoroughly recommended.

.... I'm surprised that farting is allowed in Germany without a permit GvS Considering that the staple diet (allegedly) of our Germanic friends is beer, sausage and cabbage, that would be a helluva lot of permits needing issued!

But I agree, it's a small screen, but it makes a lot of difference. I bought the screen before I got my license, but after about a year I removed it to see if that was better (after another NTV driver told me). It wasn't better. At lower speeds not having the screen is nice, but for longer stretches of road, of motorway use I would always prefer the screen on.

Hi, I've just ordered one of the screens so we'll wait and see. It looks well on your bike without being too big. Excellent customer service from Louis, far better than my local Honda dealer who snubbed the age of the bike when trying to find out whether the genuine Honda acccessory would fit. Louis' rang me to answer a few queries I had when registering and were very helpful.

Louis support seems great, the shipping isn't super fast, but it's cheap and everything comes very well packaged. Post a photo and a review when you get your screen ;-)

Just took delivery of screen today. Fast shipping from a European destination. As mentioned earlier fitting instructions sparse. I seem to have 2 bolts and corresponding holes left over but seems a sturdy enough fitment, time will tell. For £25 delivered can't complain. Anyone interested in a larger Givi bar mounted screen before it goes on ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, if you have two small bolts left, on some screen,s the plate that bolts on some time,s extend down past the head light bracket and has holes in it so the small bolts go in there to stop the screen comming back at higher speed,would you mind posting a photo of the screen as if hammertime does not have it i may be interested in it as i have a small screen but very rarely use it, regards john

Might be your lucky day outlaw as I think this screen will be a bit too big for me but If you are saying you have a smaller screen you don't use we might be able work something out? Do you have any pictures of the smaller screen?
