Are any of the windscreens available for the PCX easy / quick to fit.
We take our PCX around with us in the garage of our motorhome / campervan. We have to take the mirrors and top box off to get scooter into garage, there is about 4" clear between top of screen and door opening.
We would love a larger screen, which I am sure would give us a little more comfort to the wind at 50mph and above, but it would have to clip on / off or be easy to remove every time we put scooter in garage. Many thanks in advance.

I dont know of any that clip on or off, though the process of switching from stock to my Givi took all of 15 to 20 minutes to complete.

Re: Quick windscreen fit and removal
The process is quick, if you have the tools ready it can be done in 2 minutes.(10mm socket, Phillips screwdriver, small pry device)

That one front panel comes off easily by hand. Agreed a 2-3 min job.

Re: Quick windscreen fit and removal
I think that if you take it off and put it on too many times you may strip the screws eventually.

Re: Quick windscreen fit and removal
Thanks for the replies to date. A 2 min job, even 5mins would be acceptable. Bit worried about doing any long term damage, is striping screws a big concern, are they special screws / non-replacable?
Does the front panel have to be refitted when using the new screen or is it only required for the supplied screen?

Re: Quick windscreen fit and removal
I don't know about other wind screens, I've taken the stock wind screen on and off many times.
the 4 bolts that hold it on are very common "m6" bolts(10mm head).
the small "front panel" (2 phillip screws and 2 tabs) might wear out over time, they can be bought for not much $, but I would not worry about the 4 bolts...
By the way i'm not even using a windscreen now just the front panel and the dash cover...
