I read from Revzilla, that the bottom V sharpe part is act like Magnifier, if you park under the sun is burn the plastic behind the windshield?
I have heard reports of that happening with several different brands of windshields on several different brands of motorcycles, fortunately it has never caused me any problems. Lots of folks slip A T shirt over the windshield while parked to prevent this from happening.

Puig.
I had one on my 2013 with the smoke tint. I ride looking over the windshield but if you look thru the windshield the tint can effect lighting when riding at night.

Another vote for the VStream Sport Tour. Great coverage in bad weather and pretty quiet in most conditions. In conjunction with the OE winglets though, in warm (35 C) weather the coverage is almost too good.

I get the want for coverage in rain but are you sure you want a shield this large?

Been very happy with the Puig Touring Light Tint on my 2014...combined with Powerbronze tinted winglets & X-Creeen Touring Windscreen provides extremely good & quiet coverage for me at 6' 1"D72_6016 copy.jpg

would it better if i put it in lowest position. I still couldn't find the different between high and low position what figure?. Now i put stock in High posiiton, is too low. I'm 181cm with 32" inseam (standard seat at high position)

I run my VStream in the low position. On my GEN I, by quick measurement, the difference between low and high is ~40mm. I'm 178 cm with 31" inseam, Laam custom seat in low position.

Just to confuse the issue, I am sure that I have read in this Forum that the Gen 1 screen mount, while being non-adjustable for height, puts the screen closer to the rider and is (possibly), more effective than the Gen 2 adjustable mounted screen? I also seem to remember reading that a Gen 1 screen can be fitted to a Gen 2 bike if you remove the adjustable mount?
