Airblade Windscreen

I just got my Airblade windscreen off of e-bay from flyncycle.com. The service was fast, no complaints there. The product though, this is where my concern is. I bought it because I thought I could save a few dollars and I did. My question to the community is if they have any experience with the Airblade product and exactly what should I expect from an aftermarket windscreen.

What should the fit be like? Will a good one fit just like stock or should I expect my some abnormalities?

Re: Airblade Windscreen

I've got one and so does the greep I believe. It looks good and the added protection is nice,(you can actually tuck), but it didn't sit in all that well. It made the faring pop up in some places not real bad but not flush either. I think the part where the fairings fit together and it's slotted on the windscreen needed to be angled down more. Other than that it has a nice finish and doesn't LOOK cheap.

I have the same one, and when I first put it on I was a little miffed about the fitment, then I stepped back a few feet and thought. . .Damn! that looks good. and all my fitment worries went away. The only thing I wish it had was the molded in top bead like the original. I've had the little rubber piece try to come off a couple times at speed

Yup, Puig fits perfect. Very solid and extremely well made.
