Does anyone know of a manufacturer where I can get a new windscreen?  Nothing is wrong with the current one, I just want one in a "smoke" color.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Good question.  I have seen someone with a dark one on an "F" although not sure if it was dyed, painted, or what.

Look for a "Lockhart Phillips" or "Zero Gravity" maybe they have one.

They have these film covers that can go over your current windscreen, changing it's color rather slightly or depending on the intensity you chose. If I wasn't so lazy i'd find the link, but they're on ebay somewhere for dirt cheap.

Thanks Jeff, but I actually just went ahead and bought one from the exoticsportbike website.  I'm going to try the "sport touring" one (because the wind has been kicking my butt).  I'll post on here if it feels any different than the stock screen, maybe post a pic so everyone can see what it looks like.  I also ordered a Laminar Lip.  I hope it all doesn't look insanely dorky.   :roll:   I may go back to stock if so, but figured I'd try it.  I'm tired of fighting the wind.

GS is open to mods and configurations. I'm sure it will look very cool once installed. Why not post a pic?

Hmmmm, not sure I even know how to post a pic on this site.  Do you?

Kerry posted an FAQ on it a while ago. Check it out... Real easy. Of course, the image has to be somewhere on the internet already... Like bikepics.com for example.

Oh!  Thanks!  I'll hopefully be able to figure it out.  I'll post before and after pics.

Is it the Zero Gravity Sport Touring one at the bottom of this page? http://www.exoticsportbike.com/gs_500f_(04-05).htm

Add me to the curious-for-pics list.  I'd love to see what it looks like.  I can host the pix for you if need be.

Yes!  That's it.  I have a little bit of bad news, though.  The company said that it is currently "in production," and I won't be able to order it for another four weeks.  So ... I have to wait until early July to order.  I will definitely post before and after pics, though.  I hope it helps ... I'm a new rider and I know that that's part of my problem, but I'm tired of getting pushed within the lane.

Would the lockhart Phillips dark smoke look like the zero gravity dark smoke?

I used "plastic dye" paint bought at the local Autozone. Many colors available.

Have you had a problem with it chipping or coming off at all?
