;Dhi again OK so i got the windshield in today from helmethead.com wow that was fast .sorry i don't have any pic,s yet my wife took the cam today, but i will have some soon 1st things 1st, did it fit?..well yes,kinda!the mounting holes are spot on perfect! but...the lower sides that are for handle grip protection are vary tight, and i do mean VARY , so i will be getting some thing to shave that down a hair ,no biggie, then there is the front cover , well the givi shield has a more pronounced bevel to it , so that will need some shaping as well, still no biggie , with a dremmel i got that!. As for function..wow it is just what i was looking for i had rode for about 2 miles before i realized i had not closed my face shield , and i can hear the engine clear as hell now, there is a drawback though, it has some back draft to it ,by that i mean i can feel a force pushing on the back of my helmet ,but it's not much,just enough to feel it, after riding for about 40+miles ,i can say it will be great for winter,spring and fall but middle summer it's going to be HOT,so i do still have my old stock one! i am still vary glad i got it ,i can even turn my head at speed and not feel a thing,with the old shield it felt as if the wind were about to rip my head off ;D as for quality, no comparison, givi is top notch it almost looks as if it is magnified , and as clear as air, till a damn bug hit's ! pic's to follow

well i just ordered it from www.helmetheadcycle.com/thanks for that link dr.jrryan , in an earlier post you can see where someone else got this windshield for hi/her vog 260, we all know that this is the same as my scoot xy260t-4 ,as a matter of fact i got a swing arm from a dismantled bms 260,as there are many members with this style scoot now i will make sure to let all know how good it fit's . this scoot is the 1st i have had with a windscreen at all , and i love it, i was always the 1st one to say if you have a mc ..its to feel the wind ,and freedom of it,!but after riding the scoot and not having the constant force pushing you back i noticed how much longer i could ride without fatigue,now i am wanting even more..i want the wind out of my ear's and face ;D

well , with the new sliders,and carb slide,and new tires,and new plug, my new top speed is 77mph woooohooo!i dont ride wot ...ever,but i did go for the hard break in (just made more sence to me,i dont open it up wot but i did get close many times right out of the box, i do think i take great care of my scoot as i change all flued at half the suggested miles.
on a sep note speedracer did you say after your slider upgrade it sounds louder? as i did the same upgrade and although i did not notice it being louder , my wife and others swear it is !
