Product Information
Full details
The Puig Batwing SML Touring Screen (21048H) is an ideal upgrade for custom motorcycle enthusiasts seeking to balance classic aesthetics with modern wind protection. It provides a significant reduction in rider fatigue by minimizing wind blast, making it perfect for highway riding and extended touring. While the screen offers excellent aerodynamic coverage, potential buyers should note that its fixed design may require careful adjustment during installation to ensure it does not interfere with existing handlebar-mounted accessories.

FAQs
Does this screen provide full wind protection?
While it significantly improves rider comfort by reducing wind blast, it is a touring-style screen, not a full-coverage fairing.
Can I use this screen with stock handlebars?
Yes, but ensure there is adequate clearance between the screen and any handlebar-mounted switches or controls before finalizing installation.
Is the material resistant to fading?
The high-impact methacrylate used by Puig is UV-resistant, helping maintain the light smoke appearance over time.
How much height does this add over stock?
The Puig Batwing SML provides a +195 mm height increase compared to standard stock screens.
Can I replace the screen part separately if damaged?
Generally, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or your dealer to see if replacement screens are available for this specific model (21048H).
Is special hardware required for installation?
The screen typically includes the necessary mounting hardware; however, consult the specific installation manual provided in the box for your motorcycle make and model.
Troubleshooting
Excessive rattling or vibration
Verify that all mounting hardware is tightened to the correct specification and that the screen-to-support interface is seated properly.
Difficulty seeing through the screen
The screen is designed for aerodynamics rather than optical clarity; ensure the top edge is adjusted so that the rider's line of sight is above the screen edge.
Minor surface scratches
Use a dedicated plastic polish designed for motorcycle windscreens to buff out light scuffs, being careful to test on a small, hidden area first.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces rider fatigue on long rides
- High-impact material ensures durability against road debris
- Stylish gloss black finish enhances bike aesthetics

Cons
- Height increase may require checking cable clearance
- Fixed mounting points offer limited adjustability
- Light smoke finish may not be preferred by those seeking total transparency
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Puig Batwing SML involves securing the ABS plastic support to the motorcycle's front end, followed by mounting the methacrylate screen. Before tightening all fasteners, ensure the screen is aligned correctly to prevent vibrations or rattling.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the screen only with water and a mild soap solution using a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
- Avoid using ammonia-based cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can cause cracking or clouding of the methacrylate material.
- Periodically check mounting bolts to ensure they remain snug, as engine vibration can loosen fasteners over time.
