ZG on bike

Yes it's the light smoked screen DMac and i bought it at exoticsportbikes.com it was about 75 dollars w/o shipping. I like it haven't had the chance to ride with it on yet. Will try this weekend.  :icon_mrgreen:

Looks good.  I think I'm gonna stick with stock though...  I personally don't like how the edge curves higher than the stock sreen.  I want to keep it as low profile as possible.

I agree with annguyen. Color looks awesome but don't like the curved edge on top. Probably little better on highway though?

besides looking better i thought the idea behind those higher windscreens was to shield more air up and over you than the stock...is that not right?

looks good "BOSS500", cant wait to get one also.

Looks great man! I'll be getting one soon enough, but 1 more question.. Now that you have the screen and see it would you keep the light or get darker?
Thanks again, good pics too!

Post by: annguyen1981 on March 11, 2006, 08:52:25 PM
I have a feeling that it changes the front curvature as well...  Could you take a side profile shot of the new screen on your bike?  Thankz

Hey guys just got time to ride it. If you're wondering, yes the screen does help with the wind. DMac - I like the light smoked didn't want too dark. If I wanted that then I would of just painted over the stock one lol. Annguyen - I'll try to get those pics for you this week hopefully tuesday. Unless Mello beats me to it  :thumb:. Overall I like the screen.

Thankz Mello...  It doesn't look bad from the side...  Too bad it's too tall for my liking.

I ordered my dark smoke db on May 22nd.   :thumb: My card was charged the same day, but when I go on there web site and click on order tracking it says "in process".  :flipoff: It then goes on to say your order will be pulled from our warehouse and packaged in 1-6 days, then shipped, you should recieve your order in 5-10 days?????? Well it has been 9 days and it hasn't even left exoticsportbikes facility yet. I have went on to their 24/7 live support, but I always get a "no operators are online at this time."  :dunno_white: All of this after I ordered another brand of windscreen that said "in stock" ships in 1 day and they called me 3 hours later and said "sir, sorry, but we don't handle that brand anymore". I was really starting to wonder if the place was for real until I found this post. :cookoo:
