Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure your motorcycle is parked on a stable, level surface and the engine is off and cool. It is recommended to have basic tools available, such as a hex key set or appropriate wrenches.
Compatibility Check
This Puig Road Touring Screen (model 21545H) is compatible with Honda Rebel 1100T motorcycles from model years 2021 to 2024. Verify your motorcycle's model and year before proceeding.
Installation Steps
- Preparation: Carefully unpack the Puig Road Touring Screen and inspect it for any damage. Gather all necessary tools.
- Remove Existing Components:
- Locate and remove the 6 bolts securing the motorcycle's original batwing fairing. Set these bolts aside carefully.
- Once the batwing is removed, identify the 4 bolts holding the factory windshield in place. Remove these 4 bolts and detach the factory windshield.
- Position the New Screen: Align the Puig 21545H Road Touring Screen with the mounting points where the factory windshield was attached. Ensure the screen sits flush and correctly.
- Secure the Screen: Using the appropriate hardware (typically the original bolts or new hardware provided by Puig, if any), secure the new touring screen to the motorcycle. Tighten the bolts evenly, but do not overtighten, to prevent damage to the screen or mounting points.
- Reinstall Batwing: Carefully reattach the batwing fairing, aligning it with its original mounting points. Secure it with the 6 bolts removed earlier. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely.
- Final Check: After installation, gently shake the screen to ensure it is firmly mounted and does not wobble. Check all bolts for proper tightness.

Operating the Touring Screen
The Puig 21545H Road Touring Screen is designed to improve your riding experience by offering enhanced aerodynamic protection.
- Aerodynamic Protection: The screen's studied design, developed with wind tunnel technology, features an inclination closer to the rider. This effectively diverts frontal air currents that would otherwise impact the rider directly.
- Reduced Turbulence: By redirecting airflow, the screen helps eliminate annoying turbulence and vibrations around the helmet, contributing to a smoother and quieter ride.
- Increased Comfort: The improved airflow management significantly increases driving comfort and reduces rider fatigue, especially during longer journeys.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and clarity of your Puig Road Touring Screen.
- Cleaning: Clean the screen regularly using a soft cloth and mild soap with lukewarm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or rough sponges, as these can scratch the acrylic surface.
- Drying: Dry the screen with a clean, soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots. Do not wipe a dry screen with a dry cloth, as this can cause static and attract dust, potentially leading to scratches.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting bolts for tightness. Vibrations from riding can sometimes loosen fasteners. Ensure the screen remains securely attached.
- Damage: If the screen sustains significant damage (e.g., deep cracks or severe scratches), consider replacing it to maintain optimal visibility and structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Screen Vibrations
If you experience vibrations from the screen during riding:
- Check Mounting Bolts: Ensure all installation bolts are securely tightened. Loose bolts are a common cause of vibrations.
- Add Rubber Dampeners: In some cases, adding small rubber washers or dampeners between the screen and the mounting points can help absorb vibrations. This may be necessary if the screen is directly mounted metal-to-plastic without any cushioning.
- Inspect for Damage: Check the screen and its mounting hardware for any signs of damage or wear that could contribute to instability.
