Good installation video, except for the drilling and chamfering the windshield. Some people don't know a special drill bit is needed for acrylics and the need to use a backing piece (wood) to keep from shattering the acrylic or how to properly chamfer the holes. The video completely skips over that when the holes just magically appear. I work in plastics and know the importance of these steps.
Back in the day before youtube there wouldn't be any video and unlike today, unless you had connections and know-how, you'd have to order it through your dealer and they'd install it. And you're right, some people doing it themselves will blow it due to the missing instructions, and end up buying another windshield, possibly from Puig, since I think you can get them pre-drilled & chamfered..and some people will still blow it despite knowing what needs to be done. Lol call me a cynic because it makes me wonder if omitting the details you mentioned from the video isn't just an oversight...

I've recently bought your touring screen with integrated visor for my 1250gs. I've managed to fit the touring screen no problem but have encountered issues with the mounting kit to attach the visor. The screws provided appear too large for the pre-drilled holes on the brackets, so there is no easy way to connect without deforming the plastic on the bracket. I think either ive been supplied with the wrong screws or the holes werent pre-drilled large enough in the factory. I've submitted a request for help through your website but to date have not had a response. Can you help to resolve please?
Hi James, we will inform to our custom service dept. but you should contact the dealer where you bought it. Inform them and they we will contact us to manage it properly.
@@PuigHiTechParts thanks i bought from Amazon. The issue with this is that because I bought as a package they will want me to return the whole windscreen which I have already installed. I just need a replacement mounting kit for the visor.
@@caramoto7030 in that case, report us directly to info@puig.tv with the full history and images and we will check it with our technicians to find out a solution. Thank you for your trust!
I bought one for my Super Tenere (the one that doesn't require drilling). I can't seem to adjust it, I'm afraid I will break the platics with the force required. Is it normal that it's that hard to change the angle? Or do I need to loosen the flat heads on the sides (tried a bit, didn't seem to move either)? It"s all plastic, so I don't want to break it. Thanks.
If anyone else is wondering, I found on a Versys forum to force it. It feels like your gonna break it, but you're not. They should though put this in the instructions as many seem to have the same impression, that they are going to break the plastic while trying to adjust it.
Hello. We strive to deliver the highest possible quality in every product, and we would like to understand any issues with your product. Please write to info@puig.tv. Thank you.
Mine arrives from Amazon today.. If missing I'll contact Amazon and/or the seller to get them sent over (they will no doubt want to avoid a deserved 1star review). While waiting, I'll hit the hardware store (L's or HD) for temporary M6 screws. Doubt they carry them in black nylon and that's fine since their black metric screws in the drawer bins don't rust and can be cut to size easily if exact length isn't available. If I ever get nylon screws from the seller, I'll swap them out.
Agreed re the music. clear fitting instructions but what is the difference between the 2 mounting methods, i.e. pros/cons. Obviously fitting with screws are a bit more labor intensive and potentially more risky, so what is the benefit?
The clip-on visor is more easy to install and remove compared with the visor fixed with screws. On the contrary, this second one it is complete because of their fixation type.
I bought this product from a german online retail and Im really hoping it to work well with the buffeting. Unfortunately after drilling and mounting, when trying to adjust the visor, both springs inside the plastic parts have failed. You guys should have a look at it in order to improve the product. The plastic bits are not well engineered and the plastic quality is also not up to the price.
If the visor doesn't work correctly, we recommend you to contact the dealer where you bought it for a garantee. We will take in account your comments, thank you.
Puig Hi-Tech Parts Today I had the chance to test it and as expected the screen and the spoiler work amazingly great even for a tall person like me. My Tiger 800 Its almost like a tourism motorcycle now. I appreciate your sugestion but I dont want to deal with shippings and returns. I will drill a small screw across the mechanism just to prevent it from moving. Regards.
@@joaoandrecoelho8779 Did it solve buffeting completely? I have strong buffeting on CB500x because turbulent air hits the helmet, thinking to try this? Is is long lasting, since it is 100e?
@@jutjub22 solved the problem very well. I have other bike now and gave it to a friend with a Ducati DDX and he is happy using it for highway. Sucess will depend on your particular situation, sometimes a screen is enough, sometimes a spoiler is better.
Turn down the volume and play your own music... This about as clear an explanation as I've seen. The only question is what is the friction material on clip-on version?
Hi, how do you adjust the visor? Do I need to undo the lateral screws or should it be done without using a screwdriver? I have bought it used and wouldn't want to break it.
Do you have any visors (visera multiregulable) that fit for yours Puig KBA 38182 VS3- kawasaki z1000sx? I thinking about 5852 or 6320, which will be better for VS3 mounted on z1000sx 2016. ?

The visor that is fixed with screws is a little lighter but not significant, the difference is that if you do not want to always wear the visor put on then use the clip-on.
Hi guys, just bought this, but puzzled by the template. There is no template in the pack. Do I have to make it? Is it available to download and print? Thanks.

Is there any way to patch the holes up with a spare bracket if the visor is removed in the future?
Very hard to get the screws started on the clip-on model. Still trying to figure it out.
I have the same, thinking it's a production error. did you figure it out?

The clip on is way more expensive ($100ish while you can find the screw version for $65ish)
