Trying to decide if I like Aztec8's new windscreen for their 5-3/4" duals. Figured I'd get some other opinions while I mull it over.

Windscreen will go on this bike:




screen:


screen w/ lights:

surprisingly looks good as it is (unpainted)
didnt think it was goin to look good when I seen the photo of the headlights and screen by itself but it mesh's good on the bike.

I say keep it as is  :thumb:

I agree.  It looks good just the way it is (unpainted).

5 out of 7 say yay for unpainted

i'm starting to really like it unpainted as well. after searching for photos of some painted flyscreens, found it looks cheeeesy.

got antsy last night and pulled the trigger on this. will hopefully have a photochop before it gets here, then some before and after photos of the installation.

I personally think it is fugly.  Those headlights are a thing of beauty and don't need some funky screen attached to them.

for the first few months i was 100% with you ninja_steve, but after looking at them for this long i feel there is something lacking.

not sure if the screen will be the answer to my problem, but its the only thing i've found that doesn't turn my stomach. liking it even more with a quick photo chop:

I think it looks good, not painted.  Go for it, if you dont like it you can always take it off or if you dont like it unpainted then just paint it.

It's growing on me, starting to look good either way  :icon_mrgreen:

May I ask where you got those headlights? I spent a good chunk of time trying to find an online retailer yesterday, but couldn't

EDIT: Nevermind, just found your build thread!

yeah i ordered it yesterday. got too many little projects going on with the bike. so i pulled the trigger on this since its made for my lights with no further modification needed.

cool find! that fly doesn't look terrible, but not sure if it would fit well with the 5-3/4" duals. also its mounted to the bars, doubt it'll work with 89 clips. don't stop suggesting though!
