OK.. I am getting rid of the nobrand windscreen (bought used) than came on my 2004 Hayden. I am contemplating Puig, Zero or Lockhart.

Anyone that can offer any opinions and especially pictures of what you have would be greatly appreciated!!!

IMO the stock SP2 windscreen is better looking than any aftermarket brand.

The stock windscreen is $300 bucks! LOL

a bit expensive, you might say... What about ebay? Replica? I'm just glad the stock was still on my bike when I bought it.

Zero Gravity makes exact OEM duplicates, but I have no history with Zero Grav. Good quality? Their replacement is $85.

Thanks for the help!

The double-bubble design acts as a parabolic reflector, especially with dark tinted ones.
If you have your bike faced away from the sun, the sunlight will get focused near the gauges and melt the plastic.
The clear ones allow enough of the sunlight to pass through that it isn't as much of a problem.

Reportedly, Honda corrected the problem in '04 and up with a instrument panel cover made of different material that doesn't melt.

puig

i got a puig and i love it if you are tall 6ft or taller you know how hard it is to tuck behind the stock windscreen but with the puig tuck and go is comfortable and it looks great

Supposedly Honda corrected the melting gauge cover on the '04 > models with different material.
Mine also has the damaged gauge cover and I'm going to order an '04 cover as a test.

I want to install a Puig windscreen on my 2000 RC51. Did you guys remove the well nut from the factory windscreen or get new ones? It almost looks like there is an O ring on the inside holding it in place but I don't it is. Is there a trick to getting them off?

 

[iano]

just pull them off
use washing up liquid to put them into new windscreen

 

[akabek]

Well that was a dumb question. After posting I went into the garage, pulled one off and twisted it on the windscreen.

I like the factory one also. If you are looking for the tinted look and dont ever look through your screen just paint it black . I have done this with many of my bikes and it looks good.

I wish I knew ahead of time about the sun burning the instrument cluster with the Puig screens. I guess I will have to carry a rag with me to cover the instrument cluster but it is rare I go anywhere where the bike is unattended.
