New PCX owner

Hi guys,

I have recently purchased a new 2019 PCX to use for commuting ( also own a Triumph Bonnieville and a BMW R80 cafe racer)
I managed to source a Givi monolock rack and fitting kit for it ( the 2019 pcx has a panel that slides out so you don’t need to cut holes in the tail piece!)
And so far I’m very pleased with it 8) only problem is I find the screen is much too small and does nothing!
I was thinking of buying the taller screen from Honda but it is very expensive!

Any recommendations would be most welcome for cheaper alternatives

Thanks Guys

Welcome aboard :) Congrats on choosing the PCX and enjoying the ride.
About Windscreens, hang around a bit....Quite a few members (Mel being one of them) have experience with many. Screens have also been a "top-of-the-chart" discussion over the years. So if you want to do a search on windscreens....just be prepared for the blast :lol:

One of the problems that you will face when buying a replacement windscreen is the fact that your bike is so new.

I guess I should inquire first as to what your country is. This may make getting some brands harder to find than others.

Next, you should look online at the various styles and heights each manufacturer offers. There are 2 heights offered, mid-height and tall.

Givi is a favorite, but is not the only manufacturer of windscreens for the PCX.
National Cycle is another manufacturer. There are also others that may not be a popular.

The main difference between Givi and National has to do with the width of the screens. I personally like Give because my hands have some coverage, though you can as well purchase some hand windguards for your scooter.

From my viewpoint the tall ones work best because almost all of the wind is blocked/diverted with those, while on the mid height ones the wind will hit you in the chest.

Once again, preference. Also, location. Perhaps if you lived in the tropics you would WANT the wind to hit you in the chest in order to stay cooler.

On the other end of the scale, if you get a tall screen you may feel a "sail" effect in higher winds. This can be compensated for by changing your riding habits slightly. Others on this forum have discussed this considerably so you should be able to find something .

Here is but one of the discussions:

Your first job would be to determine if Givi or National has a windscreen for the 2019 PCX. Then you can do additional research.

This is the one that I bought. Delivery from the US didn't take that long and there were no taxes to pay either.

I believe that particular one would be considered mid height. Once again, preference and location.
