  1. Anyone got one of the puig screens on ebay? any good? ad says virtual wind tunnel tested, better than standard
    I would put a link but don't kno how, if you input "newly listed" they're there
     
  2. I have one of the normal sized ones, pretty happy with it, they now do a short one as well

  3. "Virtual" means "in essence but not actually", so what they are saying is "it has NOT been tested in a wind tunnel"
    :biggrin:
     
  4. Virtual, may also mean that its been tested on a computer simulated wind tunnel, but not in an actual real life one ?
     
  5. yeah I get "Virtual" guys, now tell me about hands on actual ducati ridin experience
     
  6. Just done my second euro tour and the bike again was faultless, it is out if warranty and I was a little concerned but again the biggest issue was wind buffetting on motoways. I borrowed a pals puig screen, standard size. Yes it was better than my small screen ..... On motoways but again I am convinced that the problem is the area where people have designed the winglets. I just can't understand why 1 of these bigger companies don't design a screen to deflect the wind from this area, I'm sure they would make a killing :)
     
  7. I've also got the one SuperMotoBoy illustrates and I think it looks great and does a better job than standard more wind but better flow........ if that makes any sense:rolleyes:

    I would recommend from my experience.
     
  8. I'm beginning to think the "less is more" philosophy is the one for me. I'm running a cut down standard screen and with a set of Aztec spacers and my new Shoei GT Air i get no buffeting and only a little noise. I do like the look of the Puig sport screen though.
     
  9. I agree Paul .
    Screens are really individual thing I have found over many years , due to individual body differences and riding positions .
    But IMHO less is more ;-)
     
  10. I had a test ride on a Triumph Trophy recently and while it was a great bike, the handling at speed on the motorway had me hanging on for grim death. Felt very nervy - not half as planted as the multi does. I'll stick with small screens from now on.
