Garage
Hello,

I bought one of these puig thinys the other day and when it arrived I took it round to the local garage where the bike was having its 54K service, and asked them to pop it on while it was there.

When I went to pick up the bike, it still had the OEM screen on it.

The owners son explained about the tabs being about a third of the thickness of the orginals and that even when in place, there was about a centimetre gap between the edge of the screen and the fairing edges.

He felt that trying to pull the fairing in was too much to do.

I was a little worried by the fact the invoice stated "07-09 Puig D/T Racing Screen" as my bike is a 2006.

So I had a look at RealOEM.com Online BMW Parts Catalog which only shows production dates to December 2006, which I though a little odd.

I read that sigint98 had some grief, with his/her/its [delete as appropriate] screen.

So is there a difference with 2006 and 2007 models?

Or have I got a bad one?

Or is my local garage being pedantic/cautious?

Thanks

Adrian
