Do they make tinted wind-screen for the Gs500F? Im trying to change the look of the front of my bike.
Search on the term tinted windscreen. You'll get seven topics to look at. Don't forget to select the search option Search for all terms
:cheers:
or just tint it yourself, a roll of film can be had at your local walmart, or kmart, target, favorite auto parts store, etc...
So no company make wind-screen that are already tinted for the 04 suzuki Gs500F
zero gravity :roll:
what sux, none like the GS500 I guess.
My brother used spray paint to tint his fornt wind-screen, Im thinking of buying aother OEM wind-screen and paintting it with spray paint. I found one at Oneidasuzuki.com for about $14 which to me sound like a pretty good deal?

Last I knew, they were not for sale yet? I called about them over the Summer and said they are still in production or development or some crap. So, I dunno if a :roll: is in order, since they might not yet be available? They weren't for me! :(
Ill e-mail them and see if they for sale yet. It look like they are, they had a price and everything.
Where on oneidasuzuki.com did you see a tinted one?
Or you can paint it black, as I did here (thanks to tdan553527 for the idea):
By the way, getting drunk and holding it up to your face is an optional step ;)

I was considering doing that but I was affriad it would chip and peal

Negative, captain. Two reasons:
1) I only painted the inside of the shield.
2) From what I gather, it's a dye more than a paint. So while it does sit on the surface, it also has bonded with the plastic and made it black.
But like aaronstj, what do I know; I'm just a nood.
Dave :cheers:
What kinda paint and where did you get it?
Krylon Fusion. Looks like:

GI Joe's for $5.79. It should be at any home & garden store.
About every color is available.
No No, I was going to buy a OEM clear wind-screem and paint it like 2005-GS500-PDX. My brother did it to his 2003 honda 600rr and it came out looking pretty good.
they have them http://www.exoticsportbike.com/gs500f.htm
http://www.exoticsportbike.com/gs500f.htm they have it
Are you sure they have them in stock? because alot of people said they order tinted screen and then they said they don't make them for the Gs500f. That alot of money too I mean the OEM wind-screen is $14 and the paint is like $5 to $10.
I just called exoticsportbike.com and the guy said another couple of weeks on the Zero Gravity windscreens. He said they haven't had any yet, so they aren't sold out, they just haven't yet gotten any to sell.
Can you just use auto window tint film?
QuoteCan you just use auto window tint film?
Yeah, but I'm 6-foot-5 and want the sport-touring windscreen to deflect air a little higher.
Quote from: blue05twinCan you just use auto window tint film?
Err, I dunno. I read about a few people trying that and it did not work out very well because of the extreme curvatures of the screen. Might be worth a shot, but I'd go with a new windscreen or painting/dying it before I'd try tint film on it. :dunno:
I can't emphasize enough how easy the painting process was. It really is not hard, assuming you know how to work a can of paint. And I really can't argue with the results:

puig makes them
You can see in the avitar I tried the window film back in the summer of '04. It looked good from about 10 feet but looked like crap if you got any closer. I tried heating it, using more water, and even cutting some sections out of the film and it still looked like crap. But then of course there's guy down the street with a buick that had an even worse job on his back window and he lives with it. I ended up just taking off the film and rolling with the stocker...
