Use the search function, and see what has been talked about over the years. I've used two of the smaller slipstreamers on Buddys with good success. You have to use loctite when installing. https://www.amazon.com/Slipstreamer-SCO ... 84&sr=8-11

I’ve got a brand new Prima windshield that I bought for my wife’s 170, but never used. Should fit a 50 but I don’t know for sure. Hit me up
If interested.

Great choice! I bought and installed the Cuppini windscreen on both of my scooters, 125 & 150.

Use a little blue loctite to keep things from vibrating loose.
Aging is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Use the Loctite after it’s been installed a few weeks. You might find little adjustments you want to make that you didn’t notice during initial assembly. (I’ve found it unnecessary for this, myself.)
