Title: What windscreens would fit my 2006 GS500F?
Post by: kandi_apples on August 08, 2006, 12:04:25 PM
Im having alot of trouble finding a smoke/black windscreen for my bike. ( I live in Canada, so I mostly go through parts canada/thibault/motovan). Is there any brands that would fit my bike? I really dont want to do trial and error on this, and I know most standard screens wont fit my bike since its a different style of windscreen.

Any help would be great! Thanks! :)

If you're looking for all black, some people have just taken off the stock one and used plastic-friendly spraypaint to paint it black from the inside.

For aftermarket screens, try Zero Gravity.

I don't want to paint it. Ive had some friends here paint theirs with that special window tint, and it ended up cracking cuz of the cold. ( I do live in canada. hahaha jk).

I actually found one through motovan.com ( a dealer we use up here in canada). for the zero gravity windscreens. They have them in stock and will ship within 2 days, so i should get it this week or early next week. yay! :)

thanks though!

I actually bought some window tint (metalic blue) but I haven't been able to install yet cause I had to fix my bike.

Maybe after classes start, I can take some time and install it and take pictures.

BTW, I haven't seen you post in a while.  I was wonder if you've been out enjoying your GS.
You know...  You can't leave us like that.  I mean, a cute girl like you CANNOT leave...


If you do, all we have left is Pandy. :laugh: :laugh: :thumb:

Thanks for the info! I ended up getting one from a dealer up here ( Zero Gravity). It was cheap, since I work for the dealer anyways. Looks awesome!

And yes, Ive been riding lots. Less posting..more riding! :)

There is a profile comparison of standard F & ZG touring on the gstwin photo site, search "codger".

I've seen the TOURING model vs the "f" standard.  Maybe she got a different model, such as tinted, or chromed.

Hey Kandi...

Good to see you found this site - its very good for us GS'ers and anyone for that matter.

I still haven't met you or seen your bike!
What about that 500 POWA!?!

And now the Thursday night ride looks sketchy due to weather. (Yeah you guys in the lower 48 - we gotta put up with 6 degrees celsius and rain) Plus i still don't have my bike back from the shop yet. :mad: Hopefully tomorrow.
Its been over 2 weeks waiting for a stator cover gasket!!  :2guns:

Anyway hope to meet up with you on one of the rides this fall before we gotta put our babies into hybernation. :)
Dandy D

I will be taking some pics this week, and I'll post them up. Ive put on some nice new front lights, and my black tinted windscreen. It looks so awesome!

Unfortunatley Dandy, I havent been around much ESR events and what not ( I've actually deleted my account, its quite the drama scene on there, and honestly I bought a bike to ride it, not to sit there and pose and cause drama like most of those guys on there). But drop me a line anytime, Im more than willing to go out riding with the 500 POWA! :)

I'll be posting some new pics soon. Other than that, have a great week everyone! :)

Yeah.... this is the place to come if ya' wanna leave the drama behind!  :cookoo: :laugh: :icon_twisted:

I've got to figure out how to coax the lady riders in Silicon Valley to go for the Baby G... We need more estrogen on our B.A.G.S. rides!  :thumb:

Hahaha you haven't seen drama until you've seen a bunch of people who buy bikes, but pose on them instead of riding it. Its quite funny actually. I can go to our nearest hangout for bikers, and see the same 10 people sitting there on their bike. Geez. Get on the damn thing and ride it! :)

I've seen a group of "riders" camp out in front of a local liquor store for HOURS on end.  Some nights, after class, if I see them, I'll pull into the parking lot and just ZOOM by them.  I think it's the same 15 people too.
