I got around to adding the windscreen that I purchased from Lefgee (http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=69124.msg831782#msg831782). I think it looks good on the bike, and I noticed it does a pretty good job of blocking wind if you tuck behind at highway speeds.
A couple quick shots.

Install is easy, but I did take pics of the process and have some tips to make installation easier. I could put together a how-to if anyone is interested.
Then, I went to start it up this morning, and nothing...took out the battery and had it tested, and yup it was bad. Luckily the shop had one left and I was able to snap it up and can still ride this weekend.
Normally I don't like the look of most windscreens, but that one looks pretty cool. :)
Looks great!!! Awesomeness, thank you for sharing :D
Looks crap. If you want a wind screen drive a car.
Sorry ive been drinking, but i stand by my opinion :cookoo:.
I don't know about anyone else, but I find "that's crap" to be extremely rude. Especially when it's a new addition to their GS. And I don't think drinking is an excuse. But I don't want to start anything here.
:dunno_black: there is always one... Why even acknowledge it?
Like the look of that thing! Nice :cheers:
I'm a "function before beauty" kinda guy, I give it a 75% beauty score and a 25% function score, IMHO it enhances the looks of the bike and looks like it belongs on it :thumb:
Function before beauty of course, but it's also a benefit game...It's a net gain in both departments, may as well! :cheers:
so, stevo...you're the kinda guy who likes to wear cargo pants?

I think your overly sensitive. :police: I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just saying what i was thinking.
Now that im sober it looks even worse :icon_eek:, just take it off and sell it lol. Now i need a drink.
Nice pic Stevo!! :icon_mrgreen:
Stevo: that pic is one of the most majestic things I've seen in a long time!
From a cargo pants guy to a cargo shorts guy: my calves may be paler, but our ideals are the same! :cheers:
Besides the fact I look like Elmer Fudd's Illegitimate brother
That's a nice wind screen.
It looks similar to my headlight fairing which i got from someone in the UK. Mine is all glossy though and the windscreen is tinted.
It's sad that I don't have pics of my bike on my computer or phone. I should keep a set of those available at all times like I do with my fiancee.
