I didn't like the look of it so I swapped it out with the stock one
I noticed a difference in performance the bike was
A bit quicker with the windshield and top end it was 1-2 mph faster not to much difference

I have a cat.
My cat has four legs and a tail
All cats have four legs and a tail
I have a dog
It has four legs and a tail
Therefore my dog is a cat

Re: Windshields
Yes slow is a relative term. It only has meaning compared to something else.
Having four legs and a tail are absolute terms. It is quantized.

My Elite 80 is slower than my Forza. Both are slower than a Burgman 650. A cat with three legs is usually slower than one with four.you you wrote:Can you use real words please.mtheall wrote:Yes slow is a relative term. It only has meaning compared to something else.

Re: Windshields
How much you weigh will affect the PCX's top speed about as much as the windshield. None of them are much less aerodynamic than a rider not in full-tuck, so you likely won't see many gains or losses unless you're comparing to going downhill with a tailwind in a full tuck.

Re: Windshields
this how the explain
How Do I Fit a National Cycle Windshield to My Bike?
National Cycle makes a wide range of windshield sizes and styles. Windshield height is a personal preference, but one recognized standard is to be able to look just over the top of your windshield to see the road at a distance of 50 feet in front of you.
Safe Viewing Distance
Generally, this means that a correctly sized windshield mounted to your bike will have a top edge that is horizontally level with the tip of your nose ,or just slightly below eye level.
