Thanks. I think I will order one. On my R1200RT I could ride when it was in the low 40's, but it had great wind protection. I would like to ride this scooter into the winter months when the road is dry, but I can't see doing it without a better windscreen than that tiny thing they put on.Works well, I switched to the small screen just to test it out and it feels like I am holding on for dear life at 45+ mph. As you know the wind just hits you full on, I figure I can use it on hotter days. With the tall screen it feels like you can slip though the wind easier. Wind hits you at the neck, really could have been from the helmet and my watermellon head. With the short screen I did notice a loss in SoC /MPE (miles per electrons???) lol. Nothing measured scientifically
I purchased the BMW high windscreen for this scooter, but am not really happy with it. It's not high enough to accomplish what I want. I would probably look at the Puig or Wunderlich windscreens.Is there a vendor in the US that sells a slightly higher shield. I own a Honda NM4 which came with a tiny shield like the 04.
By adding a taller shield to push the air above my head it increased my mileage by 5-8 miles. I'm sure range would be increased on the 04 as well.

Ron thanks for the reply I'm looking at this one from Revzilla is it larger than yours. I can easily see maybe 5 miles more range to push that air over the rider, rather than flat on our chest like an air brake. LOL
I'm also looking at a passenger back rest to keep her on the bike. I found one by Shad any thoughts?
Thanks Mike
Hello I have both the Puig Windscreen and the Shad back rest they are both fine the Puig is not the bigger screen on the market Givi and Wunderlich are taller.Ron thanks for the reply I'm looking at this one from Revzilla is it larger than yours.

I’ve added Givi backrests to a couple of large Givi topcases (on Burgman 650s) and they, too, require drilling through the back.@Low On Cash - I ordered from Shad directly. They have decent sales once in a while, so I just waited for one of those. Shad provided great support.
I ended up buying their SH48 Top Case, which is comically huge on the CE-04 but just fits helmet/gloves/jacket/pants/airbag vest for a passenger. It came with backrest pads, but comically they require you to drill into the case to install them. I tried using 3M VHB tape instead, but the backrest pads flew off on a highway :|
Hi I've try to order from them for the back rest in April and They toll me they were Back order and I've waited until May I've wrote to them and didn't get any answer they were BO on the the steel bracket not the back rest, I finally order in France and cancelled my order and them they answer me...Hey anyone know of a US dealer that sells the Shad back rest? Thanks in advance!
