Black Screen - which one?

[tonyrec]

So many questions here but please bear with me.
Now that ive got my new bike, i want/need a Black screen.

Which are the best ones to go for and how much?

[fergus]

you can either get a double bubble (around 40 quid, or go for a race screen - which is slightly less elegant, but provides slightly more wind protection if you get down below the fairing. These should also be around 40 quid. Don't bother with an iridium screen or anything like that , cos a) they look crap b) get scratched easily... (IMHO)

[stooz]

if it bothers you, check for "tested for shatter proof"

kind of label.

I bought a powerbronze for £45 at Ally Pally. Seems recent enough so far.

I had an Acrybre sp?(which are a well known make) tinted flip screen and within a year or so it had lots of hairline cracks in it. IIRC it cost about £40 - but in the bin now and got a higher (race/flip?) version from Ducati performance which is more flexible and still looks good after nearly 3 years.

A screen?

Ah you load of wusses!

Get a real bike - unfaired - and feel the force (s)...

I have fitted a Harris black screen to my 954. Seams to have a bit of vibration with it at motorway + speeds...Not too sure why. My last blade, a 99 rrx had more bracing around the top of the fairing which supported the top of the screen more, which this one lacks. Could be reason for the problem.
Anyway at 6' 4" no screen is going to be perfect but at least the 100% black screen looks good.

I have a black double bubble at the moment, i think its from feradax? I wouldn't put black on again as when your in the racing crouch with a black visor visability is Sh*TE! Clear and double bubble is the way to go.

I had a harris double bubble one on the CBR, no problems with fit or rattles. Not bothered with one on mille though, the standard screen seems fine.

Ive got a MRA one on the Gixer. Its very good quality but was failry expensive at £60 ish.

you can get them form www.bikehps.com/mra

Remove OEM screen. Clean with petrol. Polish with dry cloth. Obtain black bumper paint from H***fords. Do several layers, in INSIDE. Perfect results, done it twice already, going to do it on my new toy one dry day.

Tony, why not a clear screen and a black visor?

[Davel]

I take it back.

Blast up the M6 on the Guzi and even with heated grips, then ends of my fingers were freezing and I got joggers nipple!

Fareing bike or at least a screen - here I come!

Ive got a very Black visor......but feel that the bike would look even better than it is already with a Black screen.
(Seem to be spending more time looking at the bike rather than riding it.......call me a fair weather biker!)

@ cazzo

ive got a skidmarxs double bubble , works very well when you compare it to the original , had to spray most of it black though as it was melting the clocks

Everything apart from the small index plate....out of everything, they are the things that invite trouble.
Most...nearly all Trafpols, wouldnt do a thing about tinted visors and race Cans....but small index plates are like a red rag to a bull...

'Nuff said Tony, nods as good as a wink.......
