Can you identify these awesome shields?
I'm a complete space case - I saved this photo a while back, but did not save the website or any info about these shields!!!! I'm a goof for not doing so, but - does anyone know what these are called/where sold? I've been slowly combing thru sip scooter shop online, but have yet to find them...
...if anyone has any info on this make & model, please share. These would look sinister on Stellas, don't you think?

There are no dumb questions...just a lazy investigator
Truth be told, I've spent about 90 minutes tonite looking thru the SIP scooter shop website, but hadn't had any luck yet, so I thought I'd cast out a call for help. I did this hoping someone might see them and say, "Aw hell! those are called (brand name) shields, you space case!"...
...can't lie, either- my Rx was making that website swim after a while of scrolling thru, changing search parameters & scrolling thru again...Woody Harrelson once said "Yeah, don't blame the drugs, dude." But right now, I blame the drugs for de-motivating my search efforts pretty damn quick...earlier today, I'd tried playing the xbox, and was nodding off during the plot point cutscenes.

I wish I could be more helpful than to point out the obvious... they are kinda cool looking though, I'd like to see 'em in action. Hope your meds at least are alleviating what ailed you!

They do make colored windshields for Stellas, but not solid ones like these. These are probably for either smallframes; I've seen similar for them but not this exact type.
Searching for these, though… nothing via Google or on SIP.

I just ordered from SIP for the first time, though I've been skimming their catalogs for years. I was really impressed with the site and their service, took a few days to ship it, but once it was out, it got here fast, considering they're in germany. They have a lot of stuff you'll never find here.
They do have a $120-ish minimum order for US shipping.
As far as those screens, I've never seen them before. I don't see them on SIP's site (they would call them "windscreens" or "flyscreens" in british english) but they have some similar-ish ones.
Certainly email them that photo and they can probably point you in the right direx.

I'm probably going to tack my order (about $50 in PX brake hardware) onto one a local mechanic I'm friends with is doing. I think my order's getting tacked onto another which is part of a bigger one being done by a local shop that does lots of vintage work and places a lot of orders with SIP. Folks may be able to hook up with others looking to do orders and handle it that way.illnoise wrote:They do have a $120-ish minimum order for US shipping.
