SpidermanSS 05-26-2004, 07:15 PM Thanks to Cape Fear Motorcycles ( www.capefearmotorcycles.com ) for providing the products for this review.
The screens arrived to us in a protective bag with the familiar PUIG logos on them. We sampled the following models.
04 R1 Red
04 R1 Blue
02/03 R1 Dark Smoke :thumbup
The screens installation is extremely simple.. Remove the black rubber grommets from the stock screen and insert them into the pre-drilled holes on the PUIG screen and use the stock bolts and your set.. :)
The fit and finish of these screens are incredible.. As you can see from the pictures the red and blue screen almost have an iridium like glow to them. The look on all of them is incredible....
Wind protection is right up there with what you'd expect with a double bubble screen and the clarity of the screens is SUPERB. These are top quality pieces.
Attachted throughout this thread will be misc. pictures of forum member's PUIG and one's that we took from our shop bike. Next week when our shop bike is completed we'll do a review of the blue tinted PUIG...
Thanks again to www.capefearmotorcycles.com , these fine products will be available from them and forum sponsor www.tobefast.com ....... http://www.tobefast.com/detail.aspx?ID=677

weechona 06-07-2004, 10:17 PM This time with my ugly mug:iamwithst
goose borfner 06-07-2004, 11:36 PM :rock
Looks good.
lose the stock mirrors, add some bar-end mirrors and eyeballs!
SpidermanSS 06-08-2004, 10:20 AM Just as an update the 04 R1... dark smoke, red and blue are in all in stock now at www.tobefast.com ... (the blues were out of stock for a while but in now...)..
goose borfner 06-08-2004, 11:22 AM Hey Spidey, could you post a full size pic of your one?
tanks!
SpidermanSS 06-08-2004, 11:47 AM :D
SpidermanSS 06-08-2004, 11:49 AM another if you meant this one..
goose borfner 06-08-2004, 11:34 PM Oh yea! the red and blue!
:thumbup
Looks great! Those Wave rotors rock. Are they as effective as stock?
How effective are the bar end mirrors?
goose borfner 06-08-2004, 11:37 PM Makes me wish they had done the '04 in the Limited Edition black with red flames.
weechona 06-11-2004, 07:29 AM Hey spidey with your connections do you know anyone that could make or has some devil horns to put on my bike. I already took stock mirrors off. Now I wanna put the horns on. Can you point me in the right direction.
SpidermanSS 06-11-2004, 08:25 AM sorry... :)
Are1OneWheel 06-14-2004, 07:02 PM Is this color the clear or the smoke???
Spidey. Do they have these in blue for an 02?
cycloneX 06-14-2004, 07:41 PM check out my windshield....it's :boobies
SpidermanSS 06-14-2004, 08:30 PM I am pretty sure they have blue 02's... I can order one in if you'd like just give us a call.. That picture is standard smoke.. above Are1
R6KEYWEST 06-14-2004, 08:39 PM Does the dark smoke have the "R" logo on it. I cannot see it any of the pics. I like the look on the PUIG screens. Anybody have a closeup pic if the front of the dark smoke. Don't like the red looks too light for the color of the bike.
i just got the dark smoke and it doesn't have the "R" logo on it.
toddk 06-16-2004, 05:22 AM SpidermanSS, Is the screen on the silver R1 you posted a light smoke?
Cheers,
Toddk

R1 Kid 06-19-2004, 09:09 AM http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?postid=1121631
This is the one I want for my '04.
upur128 06-21-2004, 02:17 AM Anyone here got the blue one for the 04?
Shnapper 06-22-2004, 11:33 PM Just mounted the dark smoke Puig to my 04 R1. McCoys did a great job packing and shipping was quick. I also mounted the cox radiator guard without a problem. Fit and finish is good, optics aren't the greatest, but hey I didn't expect to see super clear through dark smoke tint.
Scale rating 1-10, I give the puig a 9 since nothing in this world is perfect hehehe!
Thanks McCoys, my baby is looking better everyday.............

Got any more pics of ur 04 with those micron fusions?:thumbup
Shnapper 06-23-2004, 08:26 AM I got a few from the first day I had the bike, nothing is on the bike yet in this pic, screen, sliders etc..........The dealer had the slip-ons already installed when I bought the bike, there pretty cool. I have no complaints so far, they sound and look good.
Here is another pic..........
upur128 06-23-2004, 09:09 AM NICE! :rock
I was going to get those pipes, but I didnt cuz of the spider web effect. Does ur'z look like they are cracking when the cans get HOT?
Shnapper 06-23-2004, 12:01 PM Cracking when hot?
Like the heat is causing the color of the pipes to bleed and web? Hmmmm I havn't noticed, I'll check it out when I slow down LOL!
I wonder if this cracking effect is more evident when the packing gets thin over time?
So far they look sweet, nothing out of the ordinary as of yet...

Everyone on this forum that own the Micron fusions, said that when the pipes get hot, it looks like the finish is cracking (spider web effect). They say that it goes away once the pipes cool down. They also said that the color of the cans fade too. I dont know about the blue and blk, but a couple of guys with the red and blk said that their cans turned pink after several months...
But I still think they look friggin sweeet! Nice bike bro!
darbo 07-09-2004, 10:54 AM Fancy a dark screen for my 04 but does anybody know if anyone ships to the UK???:confused:

We've sold at least 30 blue 04's so there are some floating around :fact
jasamb 07-10-2004, 10:47 PM Is the "R" logo on the smoke windscreen a sticker that can be removed?
Or is it a part of the fade from dark to light sticker?
SpidermanSS 07-10-2004, 10:58 PM It's a part of the screen.. Not a sticker..
veetquai 07-22-2004, 12:34 PM damn 75-80 normal price i should've picked up one at laguna seca they were going for 60 w/ free shipping for that weekend and the week after...ohh well there's always next year
