Puig Daytona III Windscreen for Harley Davidson Sportster Forty-eight Special XL1200XS (2018–2020)

The Daytona III is Puig's answer to the custom motorcycle rider who refuses to compromise on either style or function. Drawing on the heritage of classic round-headlight customs, this windscreen is purpose-shaped to complement the clean, stripped-back aesthetic of the Harley Davidson Sportster Forty-eight Special XL1200XS, delivering genuine wind and cold protection without disrupting the bike's iconic silhouette.

Key Features

• Crafted from high-impact, 3 mm thick acrylic that resists knocks, road debris and the rigours of year-round riding.
• UV-stabilised material prevents yellowing and hazing, so the screen retains its clarity and finish season after season.
• Rounded profile edges improve both rider safety and overall aesthetic — no sharp corners, no afterthought styling.
• Aerodynamic shaping improves airflow management and stability at speed, reducing fatigue on longer runs.
• Mounts via two handlebar flanges; the complete assembly kit and illustrated instruction brochure are included, making fitting straightforward.
• Certified to ABE KBA 38007 WS16 and DOT 1312 standards, and compliant with the quality requirements of the German TÜV — road-legal confidence out of the box.

Design, Finish and Heritage

Sitting within Puig's dedicated Custom line, the Daytona III carries a design language rooted in the cafe-racer and bobber tradition. The rounded profile is not merely a safety feature — it is a deliberate nod to the classic fairing forms that defined custom motorcycle culture decades ago. On the XL1200XS Forty-eight Special, with its peanut tank and wire wheels, the Daytona III reads as a natural extension of the factory design intent rather than a retrofit addition.

The high-resistance thermoplastic polymer construction means the screen weighs in at a substantial 2,620 g — dense enough to feel planted and premium, yet shaped to keep frontal area minimal so the custom proportions of the Sportster remain front and centre.

Road Performance

Puig's aerodynamic engineering within the Daytona III improves airflow around the rider's chest and shoulders, reducing buffeting on motorway runs and cutting the wind-chill effect on cooler days. The screen's inherent impact resistance and UV protection mean it performs equally well in summer heat and winter damp — a practical, long-service addition to any Forty-eight Special used year-round.

The Daytona III carries German TÜV quality certification, ABE homologation reference KBA 38007 WS16, and DOT 1312 approval. Please review the ABE documentation carefully to confirm suitability for your specific motorcycle registration before fitting.
