What is the most popular windshield extension out there for the yy250t?

I have a Laminar Lip on my Honda and I think its results are wonderful.

I paid nearly $100 for it however which I think is absurd. It's a slightly curvy piece of plastic with some 3M Dual Lock dots.

Obviously I'm cheap, so is there a better option our there or should I just make my own? I learned how to work with plexiglas in Industrial Arts class in the 8th grade. It has only been 30 years since then...

I put this extension on my hyosung ms3-250 and love it:

It is adjustable to different positions and doesn't look as huge as the laminar lip. You would need to know which size you would need for your scooter though, I got the VTA8 for mine and it matches the windshield shape and doesn't look bad at all. One thing I like about it is I don't get big bugs splattered all over my helmet visor anymore. It definitely helps with raising the air flow a little higher.

That's a very good price for a whole windshield, I'm more likely to buy that than another laminar lip.

I worry about it being a bit too tall for her, I don't want her looking through it, I just need air redirection.

I also like the relief of backpressure I get with my extension.

Hey Doc I looked at the link and you posted and looked around what do you think of this product? www.helmetheadcycle.com/subcat/96/traffic-light-activators/magnet-based Could it really work? Man I have gone through several red lights as my scoot doesn't trip the sensor.

I've got that 29" Givi, too. Very nice. If it's going to get the air over your head, you'll be looking through it. Keep it clean and Rain-Xed.

I definitely don't look thru the plastic on my Honda scoot, and the air goes over my head. So I know this isn't true. It can be done.

Where JR lives, they don't have traffic lights. They only have a couple paved roads. LOL JR! I know some people who tried those magnet things on cruisers or touring bikes and were disappointed in the results. Somebody over on SD suggested putting your sidestand down on the magnetic strip. I just try to line the scoot up over the strip. Around here, they're converting to cameras or timers on most of the lights.

My dad would a tell a joke about our hometown in Michigan.... "We used to have a flashing light, but the guy got tired of plugging it in and pulling out."
