Cheers, had thought of that, but still need to know the best position for screen/wipers as there is a ridge running along scuttle! The build manual shows a different model in pictures.

I have a full screen as well, its not going on until Post SVA, if at all.

No heater / demister / defroster required either.

Still cant decide over a fly screen or fulll windscreen. Pro's anc cons for both.

Been there, done that, 37 years ago

Bee in my bike helmet at 40mph isnt fun.. Stung me in the Ear. I couldnt agree more. A wasp in the neck at 70+ is enough to nearly have you off your bike!.
As I said... Been there!!

No such thing as full face helments in those days. Helmets were NOT compulsory then, but I still wore one, as it seemed to make sense.

My Viento:- No Windscreen, Full face helmet and scarf!... I still have my old white Silk scarf from all those years ago..

You know it makes sense!

No screen on my viento, have tried helmet ,open face with visor, have decided on full face.
The screen in my humble opinion spoils the lines of the car. looks better without

Hi Guys.
If any of you want to sell a Viento screen I have a friend who is in the market for one.
