Well I finally did it. I took delivery of my new Italian stallion today:thumbup. What a machine! It is sitting next to my BMW in the garage. Pales by comparison. Not that I didn't like the beemer. It's just not in the same class. I know that each time out on the T will get better and better. And it's already so exciting.
Now, anyone out there have recommendations for a slightly taller windscreen? Zero Gravity makes them, but I'm not sure if they apply to the newer Tuonos. Puig?

Thanks,
Bonzer
 
Ignore my post 2 minutes ago in the other thread.
Now we just need pics. Thunder! :cheers

And congrats! :thumbup
 
Pics to follow. Wifey has the camera. I can tell you it is the blue/white color scheme.
Any advice on a sport tourer type wind screen would be appreciated. Not that the standard screen is not OK but I'd like the effect of a slightly taller screen.
 
Look at AF1 in the states for a screen it may take a while to find the one you like... best wishes for the new beast... run it in ASAP
 
The Puig screens are brill, we got some last week, and i did a quick test round northern France... and can say theys the bollox, no buffeting or upseting the front.

Hi Bonzer,
Congrats on the new bike - here's a pic of the Puig scren in dark tint colour fitted to my Factory. Great quality, fits perfectly and looks like OEM. I imported mine from the US, but I notice there are some for sale on Flea-Bay at a good price.

Nice pics. BTW, in looking at them I notice what appears to tbe head of a lion in red on the right side of your gas tank. Am I seeing things or is that what you see?

Hi Bonzer, Yes you are right, your eyes do not deceive you! The Factory has a lions head design on each side of the tank - looks cool don't it!
Rob
 
oh yeah.....mine has as well...aint the factory one but the Daytona edition has the same colour scheme... i must polish the bloody tank with me ayes closed......
oh yes i do...... mmmmmm smooooth.. :lol
 
Just fitted dark tint PUIG screen from AF1. BOSTIN! Took exactly 9 days order delivery, Friday order, Monday week delivery. Easy fitting too! The edge trim...... fitted across the very top OK but worked off if I tried to do more. Looks cooler without! Certainly much easier riding now! Black beauty 'T' almost complete. Still thinking about how to keep crap off rads - anyone fitted fenda extenda? If so whose make?
 
I never noticed the lions head before either.. I will look out for it now ,People will think I`m knowledgable when I point it out
 
Missed the pics earlier. That bikes a looker! :drool
I imagine it rides just as well, which is what really counts. :cheers
