VertigoTX Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'm aware of this this thread listed below, but would love to see pics on folks bikes instead of just sales photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Here's an old'ish pic of the Dart Manta windscreen. Does a fantastic job at highway speeds and I think looks good. I removed since I prefer the increased airflow, but keep on hand for "long" trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigturbomax Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Givi a2118 windscreen. Puts airflow mid chest for me (5'9). Takes the edge off of wind blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint on the Puig is the peaks on the side look odd to me. Do you have any shots from other angles? I wonder how it would be affected if I took a dremel to it and removed those peaks?

It takes all the pressure off of my chest. This is basically my first bike and how strong the wind pushed against my chest made me hate long rides. I'm sure if I took it off I'd be fine now with some riding experience under my belt. Even still, it really helps with long rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the complaint that I have with my Puig--it does keep the wind off the chest area, but causes a fair amount of turbulence around the shoulders and helmet area.

R6-FZ07 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks for posting. All looks great on the bike. Narrowed it down to the dart manta and givi. If anyone is selling a used one please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member avanti Posted December 14, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted December 14, 2017 Custom mounted Puig (on Yama screen mounts) with small "ear flaps." I'd thought about removing the "bat ears" but decided not to after adding the flaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Thanks for the compliment @R6-FZ07, but I plan on doing more long distance rides going into 2018 and anticipate getting more use out of the Dart Manta. They just released a new version with anti-scratch. FYI: I'm 5'11 and the wind catches the top of shoulders, not chest, and the helmet. There is a hint of turbulence at the helmet to me. Probably because all of the wind is high versus even across the entire body. I suppose a torso measurement would be better than overall height, but I don't consider myself long in the torso. Best of luck in your hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
