Hey all,
I got my new PUIG RAPTOR CLEAR WINDSCREEN today!!
Thought I'd share some pics of it. I think it's perfect for that classic look. (I originally wanted a DART but it didn't happen)
Oh ya...new front rotor there too...
Cheers!
Paul

How easily did it mount up? Did it come with the mounting hardware? I'm looking for a little shield and I really like the look of that raptor.
It was easy once I realized you don't need all the mounting stuff it comes with. It really only needs the 4 screws (2 on each side) and 4 plastic washers. Then it connects to the headlamp housing and rests against the gauge cover for extra stability. Rock solid though!
Raining here so I can't gve it a go yet...looks great I think though

Haha. For a second I was seeing it as a very weird forced perspective view, as if the GS was very high in the air and the "BMW" was way down low. Then after a second I figured out what was really going on.
That's a sharp looking windscreen. How do you like the wind blocking?
Haven't gotten her up to speed yet. The weather turned to gack the second I finished. Will update this thread when I do.
Just to clarify...the extra hardware that comes with the RAPTOR SCREEN (spacers, nuts, bolts) are to mount some Honda models. It's dirt simple for the GS500.

Nice man......exactly where did u get it & how much.
That's awesome, I'm glad its sooo easy to mount! Looks like I'll be getting one as well! I really like the look and way it fits. Thanks for making up my mind on a windscreen haha
Got mine from BR Tuning.
Here's the link...

I think I paid $94 with shipping Canadian $$$. You can't find the clear ones in North America so I had to order them there.
Cheers

To clarify that. Maybe you can find one...but I couldn't. These were on sale 2 weeks ago too...once they ship it's super fast!!

PUIG RAPTOR CLEAR SCREEN UNIVERSAL. I'm quite sure it's 0013 for the number of the screen.

That looks pretty good. Not really a fan of the clear but I could always plasti-dip it.
I'm leaning more towards an F-18 windscreen though. They're all about the same price and I think the F-18 with its dual bubbles fit the gauges well.
looks just like my windscreen except mines carbon fiber...looks awesome clear!
that's a sharp looking flyscreen, love it !
sooooo, how does it perform ? is there clean air at your chin, chest, or eye level ? buffeting ? does it need a laminar lip for 80 mph ?
c'mon, kids need to know :thumb:
Going to try to get her out today. Better weather and all. Update you all later.
Cheers

Ok well...it's my first screen so I don't truly know what to expect. However...it feels much smoother at speed. My helmet is getting rocked so it's covering most of my chest to almost my neck. (Which is all I needed) . You can adjust them forward for more resistance. (There's a nut and bolt to add for that. They include it)
I won't adjust mine. Looks great and helps a bit. That's what I wanted. If I wanted a full screen it would have changed the look of the bike too much.
Cheers all...hope that helped!

The added bonus with a screen is some rain protection for the guages & headlight wiring....with it being clear u can see what's going on.
Nice! ended buying the same one from monsterparts.com (http://www.monsterparts.com/p/0013/Puig+RAPTOR+Windscreen.html) in dark smoke.
