Aprilia Sport Windscreen: AP8791258

[toddlamp]

I am looking to purchase an OEM Sport Windscreen and can not find a dealer in the US that has them in stock. Also most of the dealers I have spoken to have told me that the Sport screen (not sure if it is just a newer version) is now made by a new company for Aprilia and before it can be sold in the US must be certified by the DOT.

So what I was hoping someone could help me with is a place in Canada or Europe that they have dealt with for OEM Aprilia Accessories or, ideally, the SPort Windscreen in particular.

Thanks!
Todd

ugly.. but gotta keep the wind out

[toddlamp]

Yeah, i'm not particularly fond of how it will look but i want it for long distance riding.

[Rosscofat]

what are you worried about with long distance

[Grenadiers]

Actually, I find my Windscreen REAL helpful on trips (helps to deflect the air and keeps bugs from hitting me in the chest!), and when the weather turns cold (early spring, late fall) it helps to keep the cold air off of me and even to a degree off the hands a bit too!

[Rosscofat]

I can see the bugs.. but you can get hand defectors that just cover the hand like on motorcross bikes.. for rocks

[toddlamp]

what are you worried about with long distance

Other than deflecting weather my main concern is aerodynamics. The Windscreen should smooth out my overall profile and theoretically give me a few more miles-per-hour top speed.

But yeah, I ride my motorcycle all year round and I never realized just how functional my fairings are. I am WAY colder on my scooter doing 45mph than I am on my motorcycle doing 80mph in the same temps.

I have found it slows you done from what i hear. Unless you are tall and large.

I'm5'6 on a good day haha

if you could post up where you found that information I would appreciate it. I would love to learn more about the downsides you found before I spend the money on one.

I didn’t find that it slowed me down at all… In fact I think I gained a couple of Kph… What it does however do is send the air flow up over the top of the Windscreen and if your helmet is at a certain level, you could get an increase in “wind noise” inside your helmet.

But as with anything else, the level of noise will be dependant on the quality and type of Helmet you are using…

You will need to weigh all the pros and cons to see if it is the right fit for you in the end…

there was no actual results just what i have heard from ppl who had them.
