which windshield?

i'm needing some advice re: windscreen selection.

over on scooterworks.com, they don't show any dimensions for the windscreens. i have a 125 buddy and wonder which one of the two windscreens work best. does anyone know the dimensions of the two screens?

I like my Cuppini Short. I don't know the exact measurements, but it doesn't go up so far. In other words, it doesn't even come close to covering my face or anything like that, and I'm short too, but it nicely directs the air-flow up off of my chest, and partially over my head. I also got a good speed boost on my BlackJack when I added it, because my body is no longer a big drag.

I also think the Cuppini just looks better on the Genuine scooters, especially the Black Jack. I don't think the Prima is any taller, just wider at the top.

The Cuppini Short also wraps around the headlight nicely and eliminates the big air gap that the Prima leaves. And looks damn good doing it.

I bought my 2009 Buddy 125 two months ago and it came with a Cuppini windsheild. On a lark, I took it off one day last week just to see what it's like to ride around without a windsheild - and hated it. Couldn't wait to run back home and re-install it!

The one disadvantage is that because I'm 5'1", I have to look through both my helmet's visor AND the windsheild when I'm riding. This is okay on sunny days, but difficult at night and when it's foggy (or rainy). So I'm going to have my windsheild shortened by at least a couple of inches very soon.

My $0.02, I think the Cuppini's are great windsheilds.

Good luck to you!

Hey guys,

I don't mean to hijack this thread (but I guess that's what I'm doing :-/)

I'm thinking about getting this same windshield - is it pretty much Scooterworks or bust as far as buying one goes? I like to shop around, but my Googling isn't turning up too much.

Not that I'm at all opposed to buying from Scooterworks, but anytime I can take advantage of Amazon Prime shipping or the like, I'm all over it.

I used to have the 66. It's very utilitarian looking, but offered great wind and rain protection when I had it.
