I want to do road trips in the winter.
	My first scooter was a used 125cc 1988 Yamaha Riva. I put 10,000 miles on that scooter. My current scooter is a Genuine Buddy 170i.

You will need a universal one and they have many here is one you just need to measure on where it mounts and see if it will fit yours.
Here is one that mounts on the mirrors:

Mirror mounts or surgery! Makes me shiver just thinking about winter!

I've used them before. Yamaha Riva Slipstreamer

I agree......Slipstreamer makes a good one, but not really inexpensive. I've had one of theirs on my scoot for over 3 years......and wouldn't ride without it. I got the tall one, and soon realized it was in need of modification. With a roll of masking tape, and a jig saw, I shortened it by about 5", to better suit me.

Not only do they make it more comfortable to ride in cool, or cold weather, they also make warm weather riding more enjoyable, and safer. The photo is just to show you how this type of shield mounts to a scooter without exposed handlebars.
