Just wanted to say thanks to Adidas! I just installed the Zero Gravity I bought from him and it looks great! Here's a few pics (since we all love pics);
Here's why you want to buy stuff from Adidas, its awesomely packaged :thumb:

Here's the stock windshield ontop of the double bubble just to give you an idea of the size difference if you were considering getting one

:flipoff:
That's for buying it before I could. I was waiting until tomorrows check.
Nah but really it looks good. I'm glad to see it on a black bike. Lets me know I do probably want to go with the light smoke color for my bike. :thumb:
Sorry, I didn't know anyone else was interested. I had saw the post where it was mentioned and emailed Adidas :) I half expected him to tell me it was already sold, I know those are popular.
That looks sooo nice. I really want one but they're so expensive! In Australia at least :(
I'm quite happy with it, I think it looks great. Here's a full on shot;

Oooooh, puuuuuurty... 8)
Now I want one, cause that think looks sweet! So my next purchase may be a windscreen! :o
Looks great on the black GS :thumb: not sure how good the dark tinted one will look on my blue GS though...
I just hate my stock windscreen.

Definately like the look! Still looks sporty even though it is tall. Let us know if it serves much of a better function over the stock screen... My stock screen currently directs wind and bugs just enough to blast them into my helmet's visor...

With so many parts, lots of people want things. It gets confusing remembering what someone wants.
Then 25% never pay so it kind of comes down to who sends money first gets it.
Then I did indicator wiring harnesses (diode modification) for 2 people who were supposed to return their harness after changing it. Never hear from them and never got wiring harness in exchange so there's something I'll never do again. I'm out 2 indicator harnesses (They did pay for the LEDs the deal was a harness exchange - that never happened and you 2 people know who you are!)
I enjoy parts hustling but now that I'm getting into a couple busy months for business I'll be laying low. Weather is good so spare time will be riding rather than packing parts. Probably a few more videos as I'll record any major work I do. I still need to finish one on the electrical system. My last parts deals for a while are some forks this weekend. If I have to change seals, I'll video that.
I will try to make time if someone crashes and must have a part to get back on the road. PhilB is getting a fork and a headlight assembly to get his GS back on the road - albeit naked now. (That answers the question of whether he's going to rebuild it!)
That windscreen looks better on your dark bike than my blue one. One thing I never did was remove the trim. It slips on. I was going to see how it affected the air flow with and without it. The touring one I have on now didn't come with that black trim.
I rode in to work today which is my first ride with the new screen and there is a definate difference in wind deflection. So in addition to liking how it looks over stock, its serving a noticable purpose too. :)
@Adidas - So your saying that black trim strip across the top comes off? I would have thought its glued or something on there. It doesn't move at all.
The strip is pressed on. It came with the screen as a strip which I put on and cut to length. Start at one end and shove it off if you want to remove it. However, if things look good with it there, then leave well enough alone. No need to break it if it doesn't need fixing.
It is rubber with metal "U" shape inside so it clamps on really tight.
Adidas, I didn't say anything because I didn't have the money in hand. Probably shouldn't be spending money on the bike now anyway.

Nothing against you at all. I didn't remember who was interested in the wind screen. I don't remember anyone saying they would pay later. Lots of parts were coming and going so when someone wanted to pay, I let it go.
Getting busy here so I was just venting some frustrations in general. I have to wind down the parts hustling for a couple months due to work and good riding weather.
Also I need to catch up on some videos I intended to make. Since part of my work does involve video production, it is easy to edit a GS500 video when my mind is in the video editing mode (i.e. I don't have to take a few days to re-learn the tricks and techniques of the program.)
